10 Causes of Sleep Apnea
Cause #5: Sleeping On Back
Different people sleep in different ways. Some will curl up into a ball, others on their side and others will sprawl across their bed on their stomach. Another common way to sleep is to lay on your back. Laying on your back can cause problems, though, including sleep apnea.
People with a partner that sleeps on their back will often be kept awake by their snoring. It can sometimes lead to one sleeping in another room so they can get a good night’s sleep. Sleeping on your back could also lead to sleep apnea. It is difficult to prevent sleeping on our back, though, because it is often an involuntary action that occurs while sleeping.
