3.1 Sleep Disorders
Your sleeping position can influence the severity of sleep disorders like sleep apnea and snoring. Back sleeping may worsen these conditions by causing the tongue and soft palate to collapse to the back of the throat, obstructing the airway. Side sleeping or changing positions might alleviate these symptoms for some individuals.
3.2 Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Snoring and sleep apnea can disturb your sleep quality and that of your partner. Changing your sleep position to side sleeping can help keep your airways open, reducing the risk of snoring and sleep apnea-related disruptions.
