Okay.

It's easy enough.

Yeah, yeah.

Especially when it's more on the mild to moderate side.

Right.

Where...

So the great thing is the ones that are on the strap, they usually have a gyroscope in it and they can measure your breathing separately on your side and on your back.

There's a lot of people where it's just that it's on their back.

That's the issue.

And for those people, there's actually really simple fixes.

They sell these...

devices where it's really just a strap you wear in the old days they used to sew a tennis ball on the back of a t-shirt and that's all it's like whenever you rolled on it you just roll off it and they have like fancy versions of that now where that's essentially what it is where it's there's one there's a couple of words a strap it's like a belt but like the back of the belt has a little bump on it and so like whenever you roll on it you just roll off it just stays off your back that's it

Um, you can't force yourself to stay off your back when you're asleep.

You're like, well, I'm just going to fall asleep on my side.

Well, you can't control it when you're unconscious.

So like you can see if it's positional easily in the diagnosis.

And if it is, then just try and treat it positionally.

And then what I would do is retest using the positional device and see if it all goes away.

Cause it might, might not, um, if it's allergies, um, this is why the, the, the sleep docks

you know, we get a lot, they get a lot of training and I've gotten some of this too when I rotated in sleep medicine, like you see what to look for.
