But also avoid lying on your back if you snore and you’ll die early if you sleep on your stomach and if you don’t change positions several times a night, there might be something wrong or maybe it’s just your mattress that is too soft or too hard and btw if you ever even catch a glimpse of blue light, you will never ever sleep well at all anyway so there’s no point in anything in any case.

I legit cannot sleep on my back these days because I will wake myself snoring.

  CPAP.
  
  You need a CPAP.

    It turns out I also cannot sleep with things strapped to my face.

    If you snore badly enough, you’re not sleeping. You just close your eyes and effectively hold your breath between gasps of air.
    
    I wasn’t breathing for 40 seconds every minute. 10+ hours of sleep and woke up dead tired.
    
    With the CPAP I get 5-6 hours and wake up fully rested. Worth the pain of figuring out which mask didn’t make me feel like choking (it was the nasal one)

    Took me a full year, and I still get panic attacks sometimes when I put it on, but honestly you can do it if you need to. Go see a sleep doc. I was terrified, but I discovered after I got the thing how tired I really was (and I already thought I was pretty tired!)

    A lot of people can get used to it. I actually can’t sleep without it now, and I use the full face model. It’s almost comforting now. That said, some people truly cannot get used to a full face mask. If it’s an option, they do make nasal masks (only covers your nose) and nasal pillows (kind of just rests under your nose.)
    
    I’ve heard there are even more cutting edge options out there but I never looked into them since I’m fine with what I have, but it’s definitely worth doing some research about. Quality sleep really can be life changing if it’s achievable.

    If I’d ever need one of those, I’d be screwed because I too can’t sleep with anything on my face

  Same. That others can absolutely baffles me.
