This clearly distinguishes it from the other positional therapy aids, which mechanically prevent snorers from sleeping on their backs. The belt is therefore a training device to get you accustomed to sleeping on your side over a period of time.
How does an electronic anti-snoring belt work?
The belt vibrates during sleep when one rolls over onto the back while sleeping, prompting the wearer to roll back on to their side. This impulse from the electronic anti-snoring belt is intended to teach the wearer to sleep on their side in the long run. If the training effect is successful and the wearer changes their sleeping behaviour, position-dependent snoring can even be permanently eliminated.
