A sensor and method for sleep position detection including: a transmitter configured to transmit electromagnetic waves between 30 GHz and 300 GHz; a receiver configured to receive the electromagnetic waves from the transmitter, wherein the transmitter and receiver are positioned in relation to person sleeping such that the receiver receives reflected electromagnetic waves; and a control station configured to analyze the transmitted and received electromagnetic waves to determine a position of the person sleeping. In some cases, the method may include: forming a radar cube of results; performing a fast fourier transform (FFT) on the radar cube; applying a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processor to the FFT data; determining a capon gradient; forming a 5-dimensional feature space based on the capon gradient; and conducting an optimization of SVM.
