My father, mother, and also y sister have sleep apnea and she uses a CPAP. 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. I started researching and discovered some people had good results from an anti-inflammatory diet. I was desperate for a good night's sleep, and had nothing to lose. 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. 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.

Hey Nicko!
I am quadriplegic so my only sleeping position is on my back… THIS VIDEO IS TOTAL GAME CHANGER… I watched it on Friday, so I have only used it twice and it has taken the quality of my sleep TO A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL…!!!
Thanks for a "simply brilliant idea"👌👌👌👏👏👏

I've been Sleeping on a LAZYBOY recliner. Over 20 yrs! Perfect! No headache, no backache!🙏👍

I never used to be able to sleep on my back. During my sleep study I was averaging 70 events an hour on my back. after a lot of weight loss I am finally able to sleep on my back again. its been so satisfying.

Hey mate. I “stumbled” across the elevated sleeping position as a much better posture for myself following shoulder surgery a few years back, and I’ve never looked back. My shoulder is better these days, as is my apnea control. And lastly, so is my sleep—until my cat jumps up on my chest to tell me something important at 2AM. Thanks Nicko—

I’m a physically fit 32 year old male 5’6 ; 165lbs. I recently found out I have sleep apnea within the past year or two. It’s killing my back because I’m only able to sleep on my side/stomach. It sucks. Cannot wait to get this sleep study done so I can get a good solution!

I purchased a wedge pillow about a year ago as I went through a long period of time after a cold where I remained congested. And of course lying down only increases that. Oh…my…goodness. I love that pillow. What a difference it makes. For reasons I cannot comprehend I also often wake up with what I call ‘my sleep headaches’. Elevating my body while sleeping has also reduced those annoying headaches. That expensive pillow is worth every cent.

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

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 .

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.

A motorised bed frame and a firm molded pillow has been a game changer for me!
On my back, I elevate both my torso and my legs and as a result my chronic back pain is gone and my snoring/slight apnea improved greatly. Haven't slept this well in the past 30 years so absolutely worth the investment.
I also like the fact it looks like a regular bed during the day so I'm not constantly reminded of my problems every time I walk into the room.

You have no idea how happy I am that I came across your video. I am 60 years old. My sleep experience is horrible. I have been using a full mask CPAP for about 6 years and added the oxygen about 4 years ago.
I'm taking a guess that I've only slept comfortably 25% of time the last 6 years.
My whole sinus cavity is so dry when I wake up, I can hardly breath and most of the time when I blow my nose it bleeds and bleeds.
Sometimes I get frustrated and just take it off in the night and shut CPAP & Oxygen off.
Now I'm using several pillows to make it as comfortable as I can.
I also have insomnia and take prescription sleep meds. I'm definitely ordering a wedge pillow.

I heard about the elevation of one's head from a physician's channel. I started doing that to help improve my sleep. 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). Finding the sweet spot for using elevation is a task.

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.

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's sleep. She felt very refreshed

This video totally helped me so much! My episodes were getting higher and higher, after elevating my head with pillows they went down to 1.2 and 0.3 on my CPAP. Thank you so much!

Your always intelligent advice is confirmed by the he Fowler position and the semi-Fowler both of which are used by hospital beds worldwide. Neurology research is studying if we can better protect ourselves us from dementia if the brain's own private custom Glymphatic System { not the lymphatic } can drain more effectively sleeping on left side.

[annt]

I was watching this video while on my right side and feeling some heartburn, so I switched to the left side as you suggested and felt immediately better. Immediately. This was new to me because I don’t often experience heartburn, but I had some spicy food on an empty stomach and paid the price.

[brianswails]

Thanks for your videos i just subscribed.I Just found out that i have sleep apnea. Ive been using my resmed 11 now for 7 days now and your videoes have helped alot. Thanks again! Watching for the United States of America! Iowa 😊

[johnmausteller]

This helped for the back sleeper. I heard Tim Ferris hack of tilting the whole bed down ; to ensure the brains, normal “wash cycle”, that happens nightly. The incline is huge ty

[horaciogomez]

Love the idea of the cushion under the mattress. Great video!
