A garment designed to discourage supine sleep which intensifies snoring
and apnea levels in some people. Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring
occur when the tongue and throat muscles relax during sleep. At that
point they fall back and block the airways causing the apneas and
worsening snoring. A significant percentage of snoring and OSA is
position related and symptoms worsen by sleeping in a supine position.
Garment or other embodiments have a unique circumference mounted pouch
which allows the insert to self center on the spine and have slight
movement between shoulders when user is sleeping on his or her side. The
optional placement at lower neck area presses slightly against the spine
to influence head to tilt up slightly and slightly close mouth while
sleeping. The insert while very comfortable to sleep against is of enough
diameter or depth to discourage supine and encourage side sleeping. The
garment or other embodiments can also have frontal body fasteners for
ease of putting on and taking off.
