Your sleep position directly affects airway patency (openness), breathing effort and overall respiratory comfort during the 7 to 9 hours you spend in bed.
Elevated side-lying: Sleeping on your side with your head elevated reduces gravity-related airway compression, reduces snoring and improves drainage. Elevated back: 30 to 45 degree elevation (using a wedge pillow) reduces acid reflux-related airway irritation and improves breathing for those with heart failure or COPD.
Flat on your back — tongue falls back, airway narrows, snoring and sleep apnea worsen. Face down — chest compression limits lung expansion.
Magnesium in Lungora supports muscle relaxation that can improve sleep quality. But if you have significant breathing difficulties during sleep, consult your physician — you may need a sleep study.
