1. Start by loosening the waistband: Before putting on ApneaShield, make sure the waistband is loose enough for comfortable wear.
2. Place the ApneaShield: Slip on the ApneaShield, similar to a t-shirt, with the ApneaShield Ball centered between your shoulder blades.
3. Adjust the waistband: Ensure the device fits snugly against your body without impeding breathing or movement. Slight loosening of the waistband does not significantly impact its effectiveness.
4. Sleep on your side: Lie down on your side to allow for open airways and improved breathing.
5. Begin sleeping: Start your sleep as you normally would.
6. Removing the device: When you are ready to take off ApneaShield, simply pull both shoulders up straight, as if taking off a t-shirt.

Sleeping on your side is the ideal position for reducing snoring and promoting better breathing. However, we know that it can be difficult to maintain this position throughout the night. That's where ApneaShield comes in! Here are some tips for effectively using ApneaShield to keep you sleeping on your side:

• Make sure to wear ApneaShield correctly, ensuring that the device is fitted snugly against your body without impeding your breathing or movement.
• Start sleeping on your side and stay on your side until you fall asleep.
• ApneaShield will prompt you to switch to your side if you roll onto your back while asleep.
• If you need to switch sides during the night, try to do so by slightly lifting your body using the elbow of the side you are switching to. This can help you maintain the side-sleeping position.
• Be consistent and use ApneaShield every night for best results.
• Be patient: It may take some time for your body to adjust to ApneaShield.

Remember, keeping your sleep on your side is the key to fighting snoring and promoting better breathing. While it may be challenging to break old habits and maintain this position, ApneaShield can help you get there with time and patience. Sweet dreams!

Tips for Comfortable Use

• If ApneaShield feels uncomfortable, try loosening the waistband to allow a gap that is two fingers wide. This can help reduce pressure on the body and improve comfort.
• Remember to keep the device snug but not too tight.
• With time, you may be able to gradually tighten the waistband for a better fit.

Using a Tennis Ball as an Alternative to the ApneaShield Ball

• If you find the ApneaShield Ball too hard or heavy, replace it with a tennis ball for two weeks.
• Remember that the effectiveness may be impacted when using tennis balls.
• After two weeks, switch back to the ApneaShield Ball to see if you notice any improvements in comfort and effectiveness.
• If you feel you need more time to get used to the ApneaShield Ball, repeat the process with the tennis ball for another week or two.
