Abstract
A sleep posture monitor and alarm system detects one or more of four possible sleep positions and sounds an alarm when an individual wearing the apparatus assumes one or more of the detected positions. In addition, interface units for providing a monitoring output of the device to a polysomnograph are included as well as circuitry to record the commutative total time spent by the individual when in the selected positions.
