not all sleep apnea is alike!
It always cracks me up when people say to change your sleep position - heck I'm asleep, I don't know what I'm doing!
My apnea is mild, and it's positional and only really happens when I'm on my back. One suggestion I've heard is a small fanny pack with a tennis ball in it, supposed to prevent you from sleeping on your back.
Lots of new information out on the restorative effects on the brain of a good night's sleep, and a connection between not enough of the right kind of sleep and dementia as people age. Not only that, but also things like weight gain.
Probably something more people should be paying attention to.
