Agreed Enemem, but most anything is more acceptable than the Darth Vader CPAP encasement. I don't think it would play well exceept on Halloween.

A couple other components to obese people are that,,,,,, they typically don't have the best posture, forward head, rounded shoulders, both of which makes it easy for them to have their arm fall asleep when they are on their side. With the nearly 50% reduction of space from the inferior portion of the coracoid to the superior humeral head that occurs in a protracted scapula/rounded shoulder vs a retracted scapula/good posture, the likelihood of having various stages of impingement and associated inflammation is very good in an obese population. I'd wager they will do what they can to sleep on their back vs. sleep on their side, tennis ball be darn.
