What is the best position to sleep in at night?

Disadvantages: It is easy to cause the base of the tongue to fall and obstruct breathing. Not suitable for people:

People who snore and have respiratory problems.

When I sleep, I am more accustomed to lying on my side, basically lying on the right side, even if I lie on the left side or flat before going to bed, I will lie on the right side when I wake up the next day, and I feel that it has become a habit.

In fact, as long as the posture is correct, it is suitable for you, what are the correct sleeping positions?

1. For people who are not unwell, the right decubitus position and the supine position are good choices

The right-sided decubitus position relieves pressure on the heart and lungs, which facilitates blood flow throughout the body.

Lying on your back will not compress the various organs of the body, and the quality of sleep will be better.

Many times sleeping on your side like this is very comfortableBut! Sleeping like this is not necessarily good for our healthSo how should we maintain a scientific sleeping position on our side?

Keep your legs parallel

When sleeping on the side, if the position of the knees is lower than the position of the waist and hips, then we can sandwich a pillow between the legs to keep the legs parallel to balance the pressure on the lower back, which can allow us to maintain the natural curve of the spine without offset, and also help stabilize the spine and relieve the pressure of the body.

Focus on arm position

I don't know if you will pay attention to your arms when you sleep on your side, and you feel that it doesn't matter how you put the arm on it when you sleep, but most of the dates and dates are counted, when we sleep at night, and when we fall asleep, our shoulders will naturally shrink together, and over time we will sleep with round shoulders and hunchback.

So we need a support under our arms as well. We can hug the pillow directly with our hands, because the ergonomic long sleeping pillow can not only realize the hand hug but also the leg clamp, so that you can take care of your sleeping position

Pay attention to the height of the pillow

The height of the pillow must be the same height as the shoulder, and the head should be supported horizontally, so that when we fall asleep, we will not be overly moved due to discomfort and cause the cervical spine to bend.

Pay attention to the firmness of the mattress

When sleeping at night, the mattress should not be too soft, and the hardness of the mattress should be suitable for supporting the natural curve of your spine.

Second, for special groups, it is recommended that the sleeping position is different

For people with poor stomach, it is recommended to use the right side decubitus position, which is conducive to food excretion.

For people with poor cervical spine, it is recommended to use the supine position to adjust the position and height of the pillow, which is conducive to restoring physiological curvature.

People who snore a lot, especially those who snore and have apnea, are recommended to sleep on their side to reduce the hypoxia caused by snoring.

3. The sleeping position is the least recommended

Prone for long periods of time

Prone is what we usually call sleeping on the stomach, long-term prone limb dismantling, the spine can not be in a natural state, and the lower back is not supported (and may be arched), not only so that the body can not relax, but after waking up, it will have back pain.

Curled up for a long time to sleep

This sleeping position is equivalent to keeping the head down and bending over for a long time, which can easily lead to the straightening of the cervical and lumbar spine.

The quality of sleep affects people's physical health and mental state, and the quality of sleep is directly related to sleep position. Long-term poor sleeping posture can be harmful to health. By knowing the sleeping position, may you find the sleeping position that suits you best.
