Although some OSA and UARS people think they prefer to sleep this way just because this is how they have already always slept, they may adequately have made a choice to sleep this way for very good reason. It can almost like a reflexive endurance mechanism, since these personal preferences to sleep on our sides or stomachs, may have been formed certainly not by any conscious effort, but as a reflexive problem management 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 inquire: "Which position do you prefer to settle? " It's almost confirmed that if patients like to sleeping on their sides or stomaches their airways will look like the actual opening of a coffee stirrer when I look at their air passage with my video endoscope.
