Summary
The paper discusses the connection between body position during sleep and the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in patients, finding that patients sleep most on their back and that this position worsens sleep quality in the long term.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the impact of body position during sleep on the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), a sleep disorder.
Obesity and Weight Management: The paper mentions that patients with diagnosed OSA had statistically significantly higher BMI, indicating a link between obesity and sleep disorders.
Shift work: The paper discusses the impact of sleep quality and body position on sleep, which can be relevant to shift workers who may have disrupted sleep patterns.
