Apnea is nearly universal among older weightlifters. It is not well understood, but it seems that relatively small changes to the physiology of the neck end up interfering with breathing. Many healthy and strong people don't have any idea what is making them feel bad until many other alternative explanations are eliminated.

I wonder if there's a more simple remedy like a tilted bedframe or a hammock or something.

There are products that are essentially an inflatable backpack you can wear while sleeping, ensuring you never roll over on your back (laying on your back makes it easier for your tongue and other soft neck meat to obstruct your airways, so anything to avoid that can help a bit).
