i find that apnea is nearly nonexistent when i sleep on my side. so sleeping on your side during might give a false impression to the sleep lab. i also have the drooling. i recommend washing your pillow often for that.
i can tell when i have rolled over on my back because i wake myself up with a loud snore and a headache. |

My wife & I both had two go-arounds with the sleep lab - once preliminary, and once with a trial c-pap. Each time they told both of us to sleep however we normally do, which makes sense. I couldn't the second time, but the way they conducted the whole test was so unscientific and with so many variables that it was a joke. They didn't seem to care. I was tempted to write about it, but to what end/purpose? They still dxed us both with apneas sufficient to warrant c-paps. Doc
