A sleeping aid device for use when a person is in a seated position, which may provide support for one side of the person's head and/or neck in a semi-lateral direction toward one shoulder through a pillow having a filled shape adapted to rest on the shoulder and support the side of the head, and a counterweight sling strap that goes across the body, connected to the pillow, forming a loop for holding the person's forearms. The sling strap may have a length sufficient to allow both forearms when crossed to be rested on its looped length, and a width sufficient to form a sling to stably support both forearms crossed thereon. The length of the sling strap may be adjusted for better balance in holding the person's forearms. |

1. A sleeping aid device, which is configured for use by a person to provide support to one side of the person's head and/or neck leaning toward one shoulder when the person is seated and using the device, said device comprising:
a pillow configured to be placed on one shoulder of the person to provide support against one side of the person's head and/or neck leaning in a direction toward the one shoulder, and a sling strap having a length between respective ends thereof connected to opposite ends of the pillow and configured to be positioned around the one shoulder on front and back sides of the person forming a loop and having a width of a lower sling portion thereof configured to stably support one or both of the person's forearms crossed thereon, whereby the pillow and the sling strap can operate together in such a manner that, when the pillow is placed against the side of the head and/or neck of the person on one shoulder, the forces acting on the pillow supported by the neck, head, and/or shoulders of the person and the force generated by the weight of the person's crossed forearm(s) supported by the width of the lower sling portion of the sling strap are basically in a state of equilibrium. |
