When I think back, I was a stomach sleeper when I was kid to a young adult. I switched to a side sleeper cause it would hurt my back, neck and arms started falling asleep. I believe when I became a side sleeper is when I noticed having poor sleep.
I failed with CPAP and after months of trying with CPAP I went for MMA surgery 5 months ago. I'm an unlucky soul where the surgery didn't work. I haven't had a follow-up sleep study yet due to covid so maybe my ahi is lower due to surgery but I'm still exhausted so I don't hold out hope at this point.
Anyway, the other surgeries scare me from what I've read and I thought back that I used to be a stomach sleeper and thought how can I sleep face down comfortably.
My thought is, I assume it would be impossible for the tongue to fall back but I'm not sure if the throat can close when one is face down.
I saw this for massage. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=emb_rel_end&v=ZlROERfvkP0
It's for massage but I believe some use it for sleeping when recovering from eye surgery.
Am I crazy or would this stand a chance of working?
