This vest keeps the shoulders pulled back so you can’t roll on your side while you’re asleep nor fall asleep while on your side. It also puts you into a position that makes you belly breath more giving you all the benefits of belly breathing as well. This is not to be used constantly. Only while sleeping and or during times where your posture tends to fade. 

Sleeping on your back has several benefits that can contribute to overall health and well-being. Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Spinal Alignment 

When you sleep on your back, your spine is allowed to maintain its natural curvature. This position helps to distribute body weight evenly, which can reduce pressure on the spine and may alleviate or prevent back pain.

2. Reduced Risk of Acid Reflux

Sleeping on your back with your head elevated (using a pillow or a wedge) can help keep the stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus, potentially reducing the risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms during the night.

3. Minimized Pressure Points 

This position helps minimize pressure on your body’s joints, especially if you use supportive pillows and a mattress that can better contour to your shape. It can lead to more comfortable sleep and less chance of waking up with aches or pains.

4. Better Circulation

Keeping your body in a neutral position can improve blood circulation. This can promote overall cardiovascular health and ensure that vital organs receive adequate blood flow during sleep.

5. Facial Health

Sleeping on your back can help reduce the likelihood of developing wrinkles as it minimizes face-to-pillow contact, which can compress facial skin and contribute to aging over time. Additionally, it can help prevent issues like acne, which might arise from oil and bacteria transferring from pillowcases.

6. Improved Head and Neck Health

Back sleeping can help maintain proper alignment of the head and neck, potentially alleviating pain in these areas. Using an appropriate pillow can support the cervical spine adequately.

7. Comfort and Relaxation 

Many individuals find the supine position comfortable, particularly when aided by a supportive sleep environment. Relaxing in this position can improve overall sleep quality, leading to better rest and recovery.

8. Shoulder alignment

Back sleeping keeps the shoulders even and rolled back for better long term posture health and opened airways. 

Tips for Back Sleeping Comfort:

-Pillow Position:

 Use a supportive pillow under your head and neck to maintain alignment. A contour pillow that supports the cervical spine is often recommended.

- Knee Support

Placing a small pillow or cushion under your knees can help maintain the natural curve of your lower back and reduce strain.

Drawbacks:

While there are numerous benefits to sleeping on your back, it’s important to acknowledge that this position may not be ideal for everyone. Some people may experience increased snoring or exacerbate sleep apnea symptoms when sleeping on their back. Individuals with certain medical conditions or discomfort should consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best sleeping position for their specific needs. A nose strip and or mouth tape can help with this paired with a high pillow. 

Belly breathing is very beneficial for many reasons listed below. You can even try it yourself at home for 5-10 minutes to feel the results. Sit up, place your hand on your stomach, and push it outward while you breathe deeply. Try not to let your chest rise too much. The purpose of this device is to be used during work, or study. During such activities we tend to curl our torsos over preventing belly breathing. This aids in a build up of stress and anxiety, leading to poor quality decisions. Shallow chest breathing is a cue for fight or flight. Not quality decision making or learning. Hard work requires all of our focus, so we forget about our posture, and breathing form breaks down. So this device helps you stay subconsciously cued to breathe in a way that supports the highest quality of thought. It is not a device to be worn 24/7. Rather specifically for times when the mind is occupied with action. 

Belly breathing has been shown to:
