People with Sleep Apnea Disorder or snoring problems should better not sleep on their back. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of apnea and often comes with snoring as well. People with obstructive sleep apnea have an airway that is more narrow than normal, usually at the base of the tongue and palate. When lying on their back, the palate is above the air passage. When the pharyngeal muscles (muscles of the pharynx or throat ) relax during sleep the palate can fall backwards and this can obstruct the airway.
The side position reduces snoring and instants of sleep Apnea. Furthermore it reduces acid reflux and prevents neck and back pain. Sleeping on the stomach is also a bad sleeping position.
APNEA is an application that trains people to sleep in side position. The Android mobile phone with APNEA installed is strapped across the chest using a sports-belt.
The phone will vibrate when the person lies on his back. This alerts the sleeper without completely waking him up. If the sleeper does not respond to the vibration an alarm will ring eventually.

Works great on my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. I would recommend getting a comfortable sports belt. It takes a little getting used to, but I slept like a baby the second night. Cheap alternative to the expensive oxygen machine or mouth guard. I would like to see graphs and a way to track my patterns over time. The website is helpful.

Works fine on my Galaxy S3. It needs a way to store and export data though. Have to manually copy it if you want to save it.

An almost perfect simple app. Solved a very serious apne problem of my wife after many years of various unsuccessful trials and treatments. Unfortunately, development of app and website has been discontinued according to the developer. App does not work on some older and newer smartphones. Works well on an HTC Desire, Android 4.2. Took some simple "engineering" to reliably fix it on chest. I do not understand why this app has not become a huge success with all the apne and snoring victims in the world
