The invention relates to an airways disorder alleviating system for stopping an ongoing and/or upcoming airways disorder of a sleeping individual, comprising: a resting surface on which the individual at least partly is to rest； a head support with an active layer being configured to selectively adapt the height of the head support section by section； at least one spatial sensor with at least one detection means arranged in or on at least one of the resting surface and the head support for contactlessly detecting at least one of a position of a body part and a biomotion of a body part in a sensing range； and a control unit configured to actuate the active layer for selectively adapting the height of the head support depending on the at least one the detected position and the detected biomotion so that the head of the individual is moved.本發明係關於一種用於阻止一睡眠個體的一進行中的及/或即將發生的氣道障礙的氣道障礙緩解系統，其包括：一靜置表面，所述個體將至少部分靜置在上面；一頭部支撐件，其具有一作用層，所述作用層經配置以選擇性地逐區段調適所述頭部支撐件的高度；至少一個空間感測器，其具有至少一個偵測構件，所述至少一個偵測構件配置在所述靜置表面及所述頭部支撐件中的至少一者中或至少一者上，用於無接觸地在一感測範圍中偵測一身體部分的一位置及一身體部分的一生物運動中的至少一者；以及一控制單元，其經配置以致動所述作用層，用於根據所述偵測到的位置及所述偵測到的生物運動中的所述至少一者選擇性地調適所述頭部支撐件的所述高度從而使得所述個體的頭部移動。
