Summary

The aim of this feasibility study is to compare different settings of a custom-made automated bed with respect to their ability to induce a change in the sleeping position of the user. In particular, it is of interest whether the bed mechanism is able to change the position of a user from supine to lateral position. At the same time, the investigators want to know whether the intervention provided by the bed results in an arousal in sleeping users. In addition, feasibility of detecting the position of the user using the un-obtrusive pressure sensors, which are integrated in the bed, will be assessed.

Within the experiment, the investigators will identify participants that are sleeping mainly in supine position by doing an acti-watch based screening measurement in their home setting. Those participants who are sleeping in supine position for more than 12.5% of the home recording with the acti-watch will be invited to come to the lab for one night measurement. The experimenter will trigger interventions of the bed manually when the participant is lying in supine position. The investigators will evaluate the position change using infrared cameras and the built in sensors of the bed. Furthermore, a commercially available home-measurement device to record polysomnography will be used to evaluate whether the intervention caused arousals.
