Positional Therapy for Sleep Apnea
How Positional Sleep Therapy Works
Positional therapy for sleep apnea works by preventing you from sleeping on your back, where the tongue and soft tissues are more likely to block the airway. This can be done using special devices, pillows, or wearable technology that gently encourages side sleeping.
By keeping you in a better sleeping position, positional therapy reduces the frequency of apnea episodes and improves sleep quality. It is a safe and comfortable option for many people with positional sleep apnea.
How Positional Therapy Helps Manage Sleep Apnea
Positional therapy helps manage apnea by reducing airway blockages that occur in certain sleeping positions. It is especially effective for people who experience apnea episodes only when sleeping on their back. By encouraging side sleeping, it improves breathing and reduces snoring.
This therapy can be used alongside other treatments like CPAP or oral appliances for better results. At Somnium Sleep, we provide personalized guidance to help you incorporate positional sleep therapy into your sleep routine.
Best Positional Therapy Techniques for Sleep Apnea
There are several effective positional therapy techniques for sleep apnea, including special pillows, wearable devices, and positional alarms. These tools help you maintain a side-sleeping position throughout the night.
One popular method is using a positional therapy device like NightBalance, which gently vibrates to encourage you to change positions. At Somnium Sleep, we help you choose the best technique based on your preferences and sleep habits.
Treatment Options with NightBalance
NightBalance is a wearable device designed for positional therapy. It uses gentle vibrations to encourage side sleeping and prevent back sleeping, reducing apnea episodes and improving sleep quality.
NightBalance is comfortable, easy to use, and ideal for people with positional sleep apnea. At Somnium Sleep, we provide NightBalance devices and guide you on how to use them effectively for better sleep.
Who Should Consider Positional Sleep Therapy?
Positional sleep therapy is ideal for people with positional sleep apnea, where symptoms occur mainly when sleeping on the back. It is also a good option for those who cannot tolerate CPAP or prefer non-invasive treatments.
If you snore loudly or wake up gasping for air only in certain conditions, positional therapy could help. At Somnium Sleep, we evaluate your condition and recommend the best treatment options for your needs.
