When sleeping on your belly, doesn't your back "push" on your lungs? There's then more mass to compress your lungs than when sleeping on your back.



That would make sense. I wonder if, laying on the stomach is actually freeing the phrenic nerve, allowing the diaphragm to work better, and therefore providing more oxygen.
