Keep reading to learn about more helpful lifestyle changes:

#4. Start Exercising

Exercising regularly may help you to lose weight, which can help to relieve your sleep apnea. Additionally, regular exercise promotes better sleep in general. Aim for a half an hour of moderate activity, like a  brisk walk, on an almost daily basis. 

#5.Stop Sleeping on Your Back

When you sleep on your back, it can cause your soft palate and tongue to relax against your throat and obstruct your airway. Instead of sleeping on your back, try sleeping on your abdomen or side. If you have trouble forgetting not to sleep on your back, you could sew a tennis ball into the backside of your pajama top.

Lifestyle changes can help some people to find relief from their sleep apnea symptoms altogether, but many people still need to rely on CPAP therapy.
