Although some OSA and UARS sufferers think they prefer to rest this way just because this is how they also have always slept, they may perfectly have made a choice to sleep that way for very good reason. It's almost like a reflexive endurance mechanism, since these preferences to sleep on our sides or stomachs, may have been formed not really by any conscious effort, but as a reflexive coping mechanism for something that's ailing us. This is why oftentimes when patients come to myself with sinus and or persistent fatigue issues, I always consult: "Which position do you prefer to settle? " It's almost settled that if patients like to sleep on their sides or stomaches their airways will look like the particular opening of a coffee stirrer when I look at their throat with my video endoscope.
