I am not a side or stomach sleeper.

In that case you probably did not sleep long on your side during the sleep study (although it might surprise you if you looked at the study) and therefore the "AHI<5 on sides" could well be bogus.

Good luck.

sleeping on my side every night would seem to be a bit of a chore, coupled with the fact that doing so would probably cause me a bit of strain over a period of time. Why? You can change sides during the night. There is also a website where a doctor shows a great method to sleep on stomach. That giv...

Much closer than government financial planning.

I have insomnia besides the diagnosed apnea. Hard to fall asleep, and I wake up because of that regardless of apnea. Meditation, which helps somewhat (I am just in the initial phase of learning how to do that), You talk about meditation but you don't mention sleep hygiene. Do you know what good sle...

Sounds like something got jalapen your nose.
