FOR APPLE WATCH USERS

Engineered to fight nighttime heartburn symptoms by training you to sleep predominantly on your left side.

When sleeping on your right side, stomach acid flows into the esophagus, causing a painful burning sensation. The Left subtly trains you to sleep on your left side, where the stomach is positioned below the esophagus. The results: acid will have a harder time moving upward, meaning no more nighttime heartburn symptoms and the pain goes away.

HOW DOES THE LEFT WORK?

The left tracks your sleeping body position on your watch and without waking you up, provides you with a gentle vibration once it detects that you are sleeping on the right side. The vibration stimulates you to sleep on your left side more often and longer throughout the night. Your body will be conditioned not to sleep on your right side within a week.
