Sleeping with the SPT
Congratulations with your NightBalance Sleep Position Trainer!
The NightBalance Sleep Position Trainer (SPT) is a new aid for the treatment of positional apnea.
The SPT is a small and light device, which you can comfortably wear at the front of the chest with an
ergonomic torso strap. The SPT prevents supine sleep comfortably and effectively. The amount of sleep
apnea attacks during the night decrease, improving you and your partner’s sleep. Better sleep makes
you feel more refreshed and improves your daytime performance.
Switching On and Off
Open the rubber cover.
Press the ON/OFF-button once to switch ON. The
indicator light turns on and shows either a green or an
orange light.
After use, switch the device OFF by holding the ON/
OFF- button until the indicator light stops fl ashing
white and then dims.
Placement of the torso strap
Place the torso strap at the front of the torso, under
the chest above the upper abdomen. Ensure that
the pocket opening faces upwards and the pocket is
centred on the torso.
Pass the end of the torso strap through the buckle.
Tightly fi t the torso strap around the body by closing
the torso strap using the buckle and Velcro.
Sleeping with the SPT
The SPT uses a sleep-in period of 30 minutes, enabling
you to fall asleep in any desired position.
From the third night, the SPT wills tart the training and
will remind you by soft vibration when you are lying on
your back. React to the vibrational feedback by turning
to another position to prevent sleeping in the supine
position.
Placing the device into the torso strap
Follow the instructions on the sticker: place the SPT
with the arrow facing upwards.
Place the SPT into the pocket. The grey backside of the
device faces towards the body.

The training program consists of 3 phases adapted to your
personal sleep behavior. The SPT will follow this program
automatically, you do not have to do this yourself. Use the
online webapplication to see where you are in the training
and how you slept (see chapter 9.4 ‘Checking data: see
your progress with your own eyes’).
The three phases are:
Diagnosis:
The Sleep Position Trainer measures your
supine sleep percentage. This phase lasts two nights.
Start-up:
During the next 7 days, the SPT will
gradually decrease the number of times you are
allowed to sleep on your back.
.
Training:
After the start-up period, you will enter the
treatment (therapy) period. In this phase vibrational
feedback is provided at all times when you lie on your
back.
