What is a good sleeping position? 15

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 resting the whole body 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.

Everyone's sleeping position is different, and a comfortable sleeping position is the best, and you don't have to force a better position.

Lying on the right side is good for the heart to work.

Lying on the left side is good for the liver to work.

Lying on your stomach is good for your lungs.

Lying on your back is good for the whole body to relax.

For your reference.

Good luck with a better night's sleep!

People with a bad heart should not be left side, so as not to bring excessive pressure and load to the heart at night, poor blood circulation will cause the heart to stop suddenly, and the supine position is not suitable for people with spine and lumbar spine problems and obesity. Because all the weight of the body is accumulated in the spine and lumbar spine, it will cause serious deformation of these two parts, and in severe cases, it will be paralyzed. It is recommended that people with a bad heart should choose the right side position to reduce or relieve their stress.

In terms of the health effects of sleeping positions, some sleeping positions are more beneficial than others. But there is no one sleeping position that works for everyone, because everyone's body shape and habits are different. Here are a few of the main sleeping positions and the possible health effects of their slow years:

1.Sleeping on your back.

Sleeping on your back may be better for your spine and neck, reducing spinal curvature and reducing low back pain and joint pain. However, for mild airway obstruction, this sleeping position may exacerbate the symptoms. It is also less suitable for patients with acid reflux disease.

2.Sleeping on your stomach.

Sleeping prone may have some benefit in reducing mild airway obstructions. However, this sleeping position can cause unnatural curvature of the neck and spine, leading to low back pain and joint pain.

3.Sleeping on your side.

Sleeping on your side is the most common and in many cases the healthiest sleeping position. Sleeping on the right side may help reduce acid reflux symptoms and reduce snoring. The sleeping position on the left side helps reduce flatulence, which is good for the heart and lymphatic flow.

There are pros and cons to the four common sleeping positions, and sleeping on your side is more beneficial for reducing the load on the brain.

Pros and cons of four common sleeping positions.

1. Lie on your backAdvantages: It does not compress the internal organs of the body.

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

2. Lie on your stomachAdvantages: With this sleeping position, you will feel safe while sleeping, and it will also help the mouth to expel foreign bodies; At the same time, it is good for people who have problems with the lumbar spine.

3. Lie on the left sideAdvantages: It is beneficial for the excretion of gastric acid into the digestive tract.

Fourth, lie on the right sideAdvantages: It does not compress the heart, and there is a sense of stability in sleep.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that "lying like a bow" means that it means that you should take the position of lying on your side when sleeping. When lying on your side, the spine of the body bends slightly forward, like an arch. In this position, the limbs are comfortably placed and the muscles of the whole body are able to relax.

In particular, it is better to lie on the right side than to the left. This is because the heart can also get abundant blood.

On the other hand, when lying on the back, the limbs are stretched out and it is easy to get tired, and the hands are often placed on the chest, compressing the heart; Lying on the stomach compresses most of the internal organs, affecting breathing and blood circulation. Therefore, in comparison, lying on the right side is the best posture that is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of food in the body, the smooth progress of blood circulation, detoxification, disease resistance, and the relaxation of the whole body and the relief of fatigue.

The body is facing upwards and the back is facing down, so that the body bones will not be deformed, and it will also have the effect of repairing poor posture.

Some people sleep, preferring to sleep on their side, to the left, and it is the right side that oppresses the left; To the right, the left oppresses the right. For people who sleep on their backs, the front chest is pressed against the back, and for people who lie on their stomachs, the back of the hidden fiber is pressed against the front chest. In any case, there is a relationship between the oppressed and the oppressed.

Some people say that when he stands up and sleeps, it becomes the upper body pressing on the lower body, the weight of the whole body pressing on the soles of the feet, and the oppressed are even more miserable.

So what is the best sleeping position to choose, it depends on the individual situation. Scientific research says that it is best for people to sleep on their right side, which may be the best sleeping position for human beings, but the best is inevitably universal, such as fat people, fat people can only choose a sleeping position that is scientifically considered bad--- sleep on their backs. If the fat man sleeps on his side, the whole weight is pressed on the arm, and he will not sleep for long, the fat man sleeps on his back, and the huge body is scattered on the broad back, and the pressure on each part is lighter, and the fat man sleeps relatively dead, so he sleeps for a long time.

Thin people can sleep in any position, except for sleeping on the left side, because the most important organ of the whole body is on the left, and the most important organ naturally cannot be compressed, especially those who grow bigger and heavier.

To sum up, as long as gravity exists, the relationship between oppression and chaos will always exist. When the oppression is always present, we have to choose a relatively comfortable pressure position to sleep.
