Sleep apnea avoidance process and apparatus

The present invention relates to a sleep apnea avoidance process and apparatus and especially to a sleep apnea avoidance process utilizing a pillow shaped to hold the face of a person resting on the pillow facing downwards at a predetermined angle. A sleep apnea avoidance process includes selecting a pillow having a pair of sides, angled at a predetermined angle and shaped to hold a person's head face down on one side thereof. The selected pillow has a pair of arm openings thereunder to position a person's arm to assist in holding a person's head face down on the pillow angle side such that the user can use one or the other arms when placing the head on one or the other angled side of the pillow. The process includes resting on one of the pillow's angled sides with one arm placed through the arm opening whereby jaw movement and sleep apnea are avoided.
