Sleeping on your back does bring on the apnea effects, if you've got it. I remember having to nap the next day for lack of restful sleep during the study. They recommended a cpap machine, but I never got it. Only in the spring an fall do I have trouble, mainly due to allergy symptoms.

Hoping it's nothing to worry about, and awaiting the results.
