How to reduce my events while using my Cpap

My spouse also sleeps on his back with his head somewhat elevated. Is it better to raise or lower the head when sleeping on one's back?

Everybody is different. The advantage I get from being flat is that it helps me with nasal congestion. (Some nights I used a Breathe-Right nose strip, too.)

I will often fall asleep sitting up while watching TV late at night, and I don't seem to have trouble breathing then.

Sleep is very problematic for me. Ever since my stroke five years ago, I am so tormented by pain 24/7 that I can't stay asleep for more than a couple of hours.
