The present invention relates to a whole body sleeping posture assisting device, and in particular, to maintain a lateral posture (side lying posture) the whole body during sleep to increase the lung ulcers to prevent snoring and to sleep sleep It is about.

Snoring is a symptom of difficulty breathing during sleep, caused by the narrowing of the throat that passes through the air before it enters the airway while we breathe.

As we breathe, air passes through flexible structures such as the palate, throat, tonsils, tongue, etc. During the day, the surrounding muscles help keep these parts in place and do not block the air passages.

However, while sleeping, the muscles relax and stretch, and the air passages are partially narrowed, causing the snoring sound to vibrate when the air passes through these parts.

On the other hand, if the air passage is completely blocked due to severe muscle relaxation during sleep or other causes such as obesity, sleep apnea occurs that prevents air from flowing to the lungs at all.

In particular, an obese adult man, or if the lower jaw is small, sagging backwards, or the neck is short and thick, tends to be severely snoring, which is often the narrow neck and difficult to secure airways. If the snoring is severe, there are serious problems that accompany sleep apnea as well as a problem of generating loud noise.

Sleep apnea is a short-term breathing difficulty that causes shortness of breath, and breathing out after a certain limit, especially when drunk, autonomous reflex nerve reactions are blunted and the airway is blocked for a long time, causing asphyxiation.

This sleep apnea not only causes loud snoring, but also reduces sleep quality, accompanied by severe drowsiness and chronic fatigue despite sufficient sleep time, as well as a lack of memory and concentration due to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain.

If this happens repeatedly every night, you may experience severe drowsiness and fatigue during the day and often cause traffic accidents. Long term abnormalities can also increase the burden on the heart and lungs and can lead to serious complications such as high blood pressure, heart attacks and seizures.
