Positional Therapy
SidewayZZ, LLC is a seed-stage startup company that has developed an innovative non-medical positional therapy (PT) device that reduces snoring, sleep apnea, and other sleep disorder symptoms by helping users sleep comfortably on their sides.
Side sleeping helps reduce sleep apnea and sleep disorder symptoms.
Sleeping on one’s side is generally recommended for people with sleep apnea because it helps keep airways open and reduce snoring. In fact, the practice is so common and effective that it has a name — positional therapy (PT) — and doctors often recommend it as a standalone treatment or as a supplement to other therapies.
Other positional therapy products do not work well.
Other PT products generally use the “tennis ball technique,” placing a bulky mass on users’ backs to wake them up when they try to roll on their back. The long-term user compliance for existing devices is as low as 6% due to discomfort and the lack improvement in sleep quality.
The innovative SidewayZZ design is fundamentally better.
Unlike other PT products that are designed to wake users up, SidewayZZ helps users sleep. It makes users comfortable on their side so they and their partner can remain asleep and achieve a full, restful night of sleep. SidewayZZ is adjustable and customizable with interchangeable cushions and sleep aids so users can optimize their own comfort and sleep performance.
SidewayZZ works!
Initial sleep testing shows that SidewayZZ can significantly reduce sleep interruptions, improve blood oxygen levels, and increase sleep duration and quality. Sleep disruptions and variations in blood oxygen levels can be reduced by 50% or more. REM sleep and deep sleep can increase by 100% or more.
Nearly 200 million U.S. adults suffer from sleep disorder symptoms.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3 out of 4 U.S. adults, or nearly 200 million Americans, experience sleep disorder symptoms, ranging from snoring to sleep apnea. The American Medical Association (AMA) estimates that 30 million American adults have sleep apnea, a serious sleep disorder that causes a person’s breathing to repeatedly stop and start. SidewayZZ provides an innovative, affordable, and effective solution for this huge, underserved market.
