Yes, the shirt creates protective discomfort when you try to move into harmful shoulder positions. Your body feels resistance and naturally corrects. Most users adjust within 2-3 nights and report better sleep.

The discomfort is intentional and protective. When you attempt to roll onto your shoulder or raise your arm overhead while sleeping, the zipper system creates enough resistance that your unconscious body naturally stays in safer positions. Think of it like a guardrail, not a prison. Within 2-3 nights, most users become accustomed to the sensation and sleep more soundly than they have in months because they're no longer waking up in pain.

A patent-pending zipper runs from your armpit to your cuff, physically attaching your sleeve to your torso. This keeps your arm close to your body and makes harmful overhead movements uncomfortable even while you're unconscious.

The zipper mechanism creates adjustable mechanical resistance. When zipped, your arm physically cannot drift away from your body or rise overhead without creating noticeable discomfort. Your unconscious body receives this feedback and naturally maintains safer sleeping positions. You control the level of restriction by adjusting where you zip at the elbow for comfort or fully for maximum post-surgical protection.

Yes. You can use the Control Sleep Shirt on one arm or both arms, depending on your needs. The zipper on each side works independently for customizable protection.

Each sleeve has its own independent zipper system. If only your right shoulder is injured, use just the right zipper. If both shoulders need protection, zip both sides. You can also adjust each side to different restriction levels for example, full restriction on your surgical side and partial on the other.

Order based on your chest measurement. Measure around the fullest part of your chest and consult our detailed sizing chart. We offer sizes from Small to 3XL.

[Link to interactive sizing chart]. The shirt should fit snugly but not tight. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort during sleep. See our full sizing guide with measurement instructions and fit photos.

Many post-surgery patients use this shirt to protect their surgical shoulder during sleep. Always consult your surgeon before using any positioning device after surgery.

Post-operative patients (especially rotator cuff repairs) frequently use the Control Sleep Shirt to prevent unconscious rolling onto their surgical shoulder. The mechanical resistance helps avoid movements that could compromise healing. However, every surgery and recovery protocol is different. Get your surgeon's approval before using any sleep positioning product. Many surgeons recommend this as an alternative to sleeping in a recliner.

Most users report better sleep within the first 3 nights. Shoulder pain reduction varies individually, but many see noticeable improvement within 1-2 weeks of consistent use.

Sleep quality typically improves fastest users wake up less frequently and feel more rested within the first few nights. Pain reduction follows as you stop re-injuring your shoulder nightly. The timeframe depends on your injury severity and how long you've been experiencing symptoms. Chronic sufferers may take 2-3 weeks to notice significant improvement as healing catches up.

We offer a 30-night money-back guarantee. If you don't experience better sleep and reduced pain within a month, return it for a full refun no questions asked.

We're confident this will help, but we understand everyone's situation is different. Try the shirt for up to 30 nights. If it doesn't reduce your pain or improve your sleep, simply contact us for a full refund. We process returns quickly with no hassle or lengthy questionnaires.

Machine washable in cold water. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Do not bleach or iron directly on the zippers.

The Control Sleep Shirt is designed for regular washing:

• Machine wash cold with similar colors
• Use mild detergent
• Tumble dry low or hang dry
• Do not bleach
• Do not iron directly on zipper tracks
• Zip all zippers before washing to prevent snagging

We recommend washing every 3-4 nights for hygiene, just like regular sleepwear.

It makes rolling onto your affected shoulder physically uncomfortable, so your body naturally avoids that position even while unconscious. It creates resistance, not complete immobilization.

The zipper system doesn't lock you in place like a cast. Instead, it creates enough mechanical resistance that when your unconscious body tries to roll onto your shoulder or raise your arm, you feel discomfort and naturally shift back to a safer position. Think of it as intelligent feedback your body responds to automatically, even during deep sleep.

Yes, but the shirt makes sleeping on your affected shoulder uncomfortable which is the point. It discourages the side sleeping position that causes shoulder damage.

You can still side-sleep on your good shoulder (if applicable). However, the zipper system makes it uncomfortable to roll onto your injured/surgical shoulder, which is exactly the behavior we want to prevent. Most users find they naturally sleep more on their back or good side because the shirt makes harmful positions feel "wrong."

The shirt is made from breathable fabric designed for all-night comfort. Most users don't report overheating issues, even when zipped.

We use temperature-regulating, breathable fabric that's specifically designed for sleepwear. While the shirt does cover your arm and torso, the material wicks moisture and allows airflow. Some users initially worry about warmth, but feedback shows it's rarely an issue. If you naturally sleep hot, you can adjust your bedroom temperature or use lighter bedding.

Duration varies by injury severity. Post-surgery patients typically wear it for 6-12 weeks. Chronic pain sufferers may use it ongoing or until symptoms improve significantly.

Use timelines vary:

• Post-surgery: 6-12 weeks (or per surgeon's protocol)
• Chronic injury: Until pain consistently improves (often 4-8 weeks)
• Preventative use: As long as desired for ongoing protection
• Rehabilitation: Until PT and daytime management are sufficient

Many users continue wearing it long-term because they sleep so much better with shoulder protection.
