It seems sort of weird that so many people need CPAP machines now. Granted, people are heavier than they used to be, but my BIL is very skinny now and he still needs one, so the advice to loose weight can't help all cases. I was also thinking that up to 150 or so years ago, those of us who needed appendectomies or gall bladder removal would probably have died a much earlier death.
I can't sleep in a recliner without waking up choking. In the front seat of a car, there is a very fine line on how much reclining of the seat I can do if I am planning on snoozing.
