Body position can be important to sleeping well, especially if you snore, or if some positions tend to give you back or neck pain. The SomnoPose sleep position monitor can help you manage your sleep position.
SomnoPose is designed to run all night, while you wear your iPhone or iPod touch. It continually monitors the device's orientation, and provides an all-night chart of sleep position, along with a summary that shows how much time you've spent in each general position. An optional alarm can be used to help avoid undesired positions.
WHAT IT DOES:
- Continually monitors accelerometer data to determine your body position.
- Shows how much time you've spent facing left, right, up and down.
- Provides charts showing position data for entire nights.
- An alarm can alert you when you're in a position you've chosen to avoid.
- Shows built-in help content.
WHAT IT DOESN'T DO:
- Does not transfer information from your device unless you explicitly export data. You control where your data goes.
- Does not need a network connection (except if and when you export data)
- Does not have in-app advertising, in-app purchases, or subscription fees.
USER-EXPERIENCE FEATURES:
- Scrolling chart on the main screen shows real-time position data.
- Screens have dark backgrounds, suitable for use in low-light conditions.
- Alarm volume can increase gradually to avoid jarring users (or partners).
- Audio from another app can be played in the background.
MORE FEATURES
- Alarms and statistics are automatically paused while you sit up or stand up.
- The angles for determining body positions are adjustable.
- Chart images can be saved as photos, printed, sent to other apps, or exported.
- Collected position data can be exported via email, messages, or other apps (as a CSV attachment).
- Controls can be "shielded" to prevent accidental changes.
- Uses the iPhone proximity sensor to shut off the screen during the night, saving battery power.
NOTES
* To use SomnoPose to monitor your sleep position, you will need to wear your iPhone or iPod touch in a stable, forward-facing position while you sleep. The internal help and the SomnoPose website help pages describe several ways of wearing your device.
* SomnoPose is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease. Its purpose is to monitor and record information about body position.

Die App funktioniert hervorragend!
Damit kann ich sehr gut die Rückenlage vermeiden. An einem elastischen Gürtel habe ich mit zwei Sicherheitsnadeln eine Handyhülle aus Stoff befestigt. Ich starte die App und stecke mein iPhone in die Hülle. (Die Gürtelschnalle drehe ich auf den Rücken.) Die App vibriert, wenn ich auf dem Rücken liege. Durch dieses Signal drehe ich mich auf die Seite. Am nächsten Morgen habe ich eine perfekte Auswertung aller Schlafpositionen der letzten Nacht. Mit dieser App und dem iPhone kann man andere Produkte, mit gleicher Funktion, sehr preiswert ersetzten. Ich bin sehr zufrieden! Vielen Dank an den Entwickler! The app works great! With it I can very well avoid the supine position. I fixed a fabric cell phone case to an elastic belt with two safety pins. I start the app and put my iPhone into the case. (I turn the belt buckle onto my back.) The app vibrates when I lie on my back. This signal causes me to turn onto my side. The next morning, I have a perfect analysis of all the sleeping positions from the previous night. With this app and the iPhone, you can replace other products, with the same function, very cheaply. I am very satisfied! Many thanks to the developer!
Not working when Display off
The App is only working when display is on. So that is not useful! How can I make this working for the entire night with display off?
Thanks :-)
Just what I was looking for (to check if lying on my back correlates with apnoe). Taped the iPhone to my shirt, worked great.
Would be nice to be able to zoom/pan on the time axis via pinch gesture but details can also be viewed externally via data export as a workaround.
