Yes, the reason it works to reduce the chances of SIDS is likely because they don't sleep as soundly on their backs.

When baby is 3 months old, parents are waking up an average of one hour more per night compared to parents 40 years ago. 34 of those minutes are from babies sleeping on their backs instead of their bellies to prevent SIDS, and 26 are from breastfeeding instead of formula. People talk a lot about cultural factors that make modern parenting harder but not so much about how babies literally sleep worse!
