Was ist eine positionsabhängige Schlafapnoe?

What is positional sleep apnea?

 

Positional Sleep Apnea

 

In classic sleep apnea, the airways are repeatedly blocked during sleep, leading to an interruption of breathing.Positional sleep apnea is a special form of it. Here, the airways are predominantly blocked when lying on the back.

Sleep apnea affects sleep quality and can significantly impact performance and overall health. If you have sleep apnea and apnea events occur twice as often in the supine position as in the lateral position, your sleep apnea is likely positional. Sleeping on your side can significantly reduce your symptoms.

Consult your doctor to determine if you have been diagnosed with positional OSA.

 

Wenn Sie in Rückenlage schlafen
 

When sleeping on your back, your airways are blocked, which can lead to an interruption in breathing.

Wenn Sie in Seitenlage schlafen
 

When sleeping on your side, your airways are clear, making breathing easier.

If you suffer from  positional sleep apnea , a traditional CPAP therapy can help you.However, you must wear a mask every night for this. A mask-free alternative is to avoid the supine position. NightBalance was developed for this purpose.

 

NightBalance  is an easy-to-use and easy-to-apply device that you can comfortably wear at night. It continuously monitors your sleeping position and prompts you to lie on your side. The intensity of the vibrations automatically adjusts to you.
