The Head Position Control (HPC) device significantly reduces snoring and sleep apnea by preventing the face upward positions of the head when a person lies on the back and sides. It is comprised of a cushion mounted on a band that provides means for supporting the cushion on the head. The HPC device is worn as a headband with the cushion positioned at the back of the head. When lying on the back it causes the head to roll to the extreme right or left and when lying on the sides it tilts the nose and mouth slightly downward. This eliminates the mouth and nose up positions of the head that commonly causes snoring and sleep apnea. The device has an additional benefit. As a result of rolling the head to the extreme right or left it stretches neck muscles.
