Build Your Own Sleep Position Monitor with Arduino Nano & MPU6050 – Track Back, Side, Stomach Posture

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Imagine a small wearable that alerts you when you roll onto your back to prevent snoring, or helps a physiotherapist monitor sleep posture. This kit lets you build exactly that — a lightweight, clip-on sensor that reads your body tilt and shows your sleeping position in real time on an OLED screen. Using an Arduino Nano and the MPU6050 accelerometer, you'll classify whether you're on your back, side, or stomach by simply checking tilt angles.

What You'll Build

An Arduino Nano-powered device with an MPU6050 accelerometer-gyroscope that straps to your chest or pillow. As you change positions from back, side, to stomach, the 0.96-inch OLED instantly updates with the classification. The logic uses simple angle thresholds you can tweak via code, making it an excellent starting point for health wearables and posture correctors. This isn't a simulation — you'll create a functional, battery-operated monitor that works while you lie down, perfect for school science fairs, hackathons, or personal health experiments.

What You'll Learn

• Reading 3-axis accelerometer data from the MPU6050 over I2C
• Calculating pitch and roll tilt angles in degrees
• Classifying sleep position with conditional logic (back, side, stomach)
• Displaying real-time orientation and position labels on a 0.96-inch OLED
