Positional Therapy Trial
Book nowIn some patients, snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea may only be clinically significant while they are sleeping on their back (supine). There are many products/methods to help patients avoid supine sleep and you are encouraged to discuss these options with your sleep physician before deciding what is best for you.
Place of Dreams offers positional therapy trials using a device called 'Nightshift'. When the patient rolls onto their back, the device sends gentle vibrations to the patient through the neck or chest that subtly and subconsciously to encourage a position change, whereby the vibrations cease. The device tracks your usage and sleeping position, allowing us to objectively monitor its success.
