Sleeping position can affect bones, what is the most correct position for sleeping?

Many people wake up from sleep and feel dizzy, back pain, and exhaustion, mainly because of improper sleeping posture. Supine is the most common sleeping position. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this sleeping position a corpse lying down, and with this sleeping position, the body and lower limbs can only be fixed in the straight part, and the purpose of the whole body rest cannot be achieved.

When the pressure in the abdominal cavity increases, lying on the back is easy to make people feel chest tightness and panic. Lying on your back like this, you will also consciously or unconsciously put your hands on your chest, which will put pressure on your heart and lungs, and you will be prone to nightmares. When lying on the stomach, most of the weight of the whole body is pressed on the ribs and abdomen, which compresses the chest and diaphragm, affects breathing, and increases the workload of the heart.

Prone also increases the curvature of the lumbar spine, causing pressure on the facet joints behind the spine. When lying on your stomach, twist your neck to the side to tilt your head to one side, which can easily cause damage to your neck muscles. When lying on the left side, the legs are slightly bent, although it is conducive to body relaxation and helps to eliminate fatigue, but the heart is located between the left and right lungs in the chest cavity and is on the left side, and the exit of the stomach to the duodenum and the small intestine to the large intestine are on the left side, so when lying on the left side, not only the heart is squeezed, but also the stomach and intestines are compressed, and the gastric emptying is slowed down.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the correct sleeping position should be to lie on the right side with the legs slightly bent. In this way, the heart is high and not compressed; The liver is in a low position, the blood supply is better, and it is conducive to metabolism; The food in the stomach is pushed towards the duodenum by gravity, which can promote digestion and absorption.

At the same time, the whole body is in a relaxed state, breathing evenly, the heartbeat slows down, and the brain, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, muscles, and bones are fully rested and oxygen-supplied. Of course, for a healthy person, there is no need to be overly rigid about their sleeping position, because overnight, people often cannot maintain a fixed position to sleep until dawn, and the vast majority of people are constantly changing their sleeping positions, which is more conducive to relieving fatigue.

Analysis: It is generally recommended not to sleep in a fixed position.

Guidance: Although the right side is a better sleeping position, it is still recommended to turn over appropriately during sleep to avoid obstruction of local blood circulation.

The doctor asked: The development of bones is mainly for the comfort of the bed, not too soft and too hard.

Many people think that as long as they sleep comfortably, they don't need to care too much about their sleeping position. In this regard, Guo Xiheng, a respiratory doctor at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, told reporters that there are four types of sleeping positions, and the choice of sleeping position varies from person to person. Especially for people with certain diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stomach and liver, it is necessary to pay more attention to choosing the correct sleeping position, otherwise it will not only affect the quality of sleep, but also aggravate the disease.

At the same time, the doctor also introduced the advantages and disadvantages of the four sleeping positions, and you can choose the corresponding sleeping position according to your physical condition. 1.Supine It is understood that 60% of people choose the supine sleeping position, which is also the best sleeping position recommended by doctors.
