Positional Therapy Trial
Book now14‑Day Nightshift Positional Therapy Trial: Shift to Side and Sleep Better
Why Try Positional Therapy?
Some patients experience significant snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea only when lying on their back. Our Positional Therapy Trial uses the Nightshift device—a gentle vibration worn on your neck or chest that nudges you off your back when you're supine. It’s unobtrusive, smart, and quietly tracks positional data for accurate results.

Additional information:
Following a successful trial, you will be given the option to purchase your own Nightshift device for long term use. Your sleep therapist will organise a report to be sent to your Sleep Physican. It is recommended that you are reviewed after 6 months, then annually thereafter. The return appointment may be done in conjunction with, or at the request of your sleep and respiratory physician depending on your model of care.
