  My father, mother, and also y sister have sleep apnea and she uses a CPAP. &nbsp;I also started getting sleep apnea about ten years ago. I tried different sleep positions, pillows, mouth exercises and nothing worked for me. Was told my airway was narrow and I was stuck with it. &nbsp;I started researching and discovered some people had good results from an anti-inflammatory diet. I was desperate for a good night&apos;s sleep, and had nothing to lose. &nbsp;So basically I cut out the following - alcohol, pizza, bread, refined sugar, processed food, and ate only a whole food diet. Plus I began walking daily. &nbsp;I noticed gradual improvements in my sleep after a couple of weeks. By the end of the second month of the diet and exercise regimen my sleep apnea was gone! Years later I have stuck with the plan, but now I also go to the gym, and get a good night sleep every night.

  Pro tip for all....get a large triangle wedge mem foam pillow like he shows and a thin regular pillow to go on top and just support the neck without bending it too far at night. Along with a mouth guard or mouth tape should solve snoring for most of reduce it greatly. Wedge is the key might work better than a CPAP for some. Test it out thank me later.

  After I tore a rotator cuff in my shoulder, I found sleeping on my back with arms back over my head reduces shoulder pain which helps me sleep , but I do snore more .<br><br>After a diet change , less carbs and no gluten , my breathing in general has improved out of sight and I’ve got no idea what that was , but it has improved, and as a result I thought I may have had sleep apnea beforehand, but it’s really far less noticeable.

  On your back is the worst way to sleep with apnea. You choke constantly

  A few years ago I had severe vertigo and could not lay down, so I could only sleep using a elevated pillow, worked wonders 🙂

  I went through a phase of sleeping without a pillow, which is OK for me. Another position is on my back with a pillow under my shoulders, so that my head is slightly lower than the pillow, which opens my airway nicely. But, now I sleep on my back with a pillow.<br><br>When my mother was in the hospital, I was with her during the night. She was sleeping on her back. I noticed that she had sleep apnea. I called the nurse and she simply raised the head of the bed to about 20 degrees or so, and my mother had recall of having had a good night&apos;s sleep. She felt very refreshed

  I heard about the elevation of one&apos;s head from a physician&apos;s channel. &nbsp;I started doing that to help improve my sleep. &nbsp;I cannot tolerate sleeping on my side; my shoulder has issues on my left, and my right is developing issues (not as bad as the left). &nbsp;Finding the sweet spot for using elevation is a task.
