Well, not exactly. But what I have done is to raise the bottom of my bed 4 inches by placing several 2 by 4s under the frame. Thus I have been sleeping in a slight head downward slope the past two months. And I know I might jinx myself by writing this, but I feel mentally sharper and less groggy. My oxygen saturations hover around 93, one point higher than usual. (I live in the mountains a mile high, so less oxygen) I take it I am bringing more blood and oxygen to my brain while I sleep. I also seem to be sleeping deeper, with alot heavier dreams.
I sleep on three pillows, so mostly my lower torso is a bit raised. But I wonder how safe this is. I am 46 and I probably am placing myself a little more at risk for an eventual stroke (but so too with sleep apnea). But I think I am going to continue doing this, since overall it seems to be a positive experience for me. Has anyone else tried this? Noah
