What are the effects of an incorrect sleeping position on the body?
Children should pay special attention to the problem of sleeping position in the process of development, and incorrect sleeping posture is most likely to cause bone deformation, let's understand the impact of various sleeping positions on the body ......
1. Sleeping on the stomach The most harmful to the body in several sleeping positions is sleeping on the stomach, but the physical injury of sleeping on the stomach is not something that can be presented for a while, because it damages the internal organs, especially the beating ability of the heart.
1.Worsening of visceral function:
Pressing the viscera for a long time at night will cause them to be unable to breathe normally, they have been working without rest during the day, and when they finally want to rest at night, they have been pressed by a force of gravity, and the function of the viscera will slowly deteriorate after a long time, the number of heart beats will also decrease, and the strength of the beating will also become weaker, at this time, their ability to resist some foreign invaders (such as: nicotine of cigarettes, alcohol, bacteria, viruses) will naturally be greatly reduced.
For example: .Smoking is not good for the lungs, the lungs are rested when they sleep at night, then it can purify the harmful substances of cigarettes, which is why some people will get lung cancer if they smoke, and some people will not get lung cancer if they smoke.
Drinking alcohol is not good for the spleen and stomach, the stomach rests well when sleeping at night, then it can metabolize the alcohol through one night, and will not cause harm to the spleen and stomach, why some people drink alcohol will have stomach bleeding and some people will not.
2.Stiff neck: When sleeping on your stomach, your neck is lying on one side, and keeping your neck in one position will make your muscles very stiff, and your neck will not be able to move when you wake up.
3.Breathless:
When sleeping on the stomach, the trachea will be compressed, and the breathing ability will deteriorate after a long time, and it has a lot to do with the fact that you often can't breathe. Through the above explanation, sleeping on the stomach is the most harmful to the body, but it is chronic, if you don't understand this knowledge, you will not find that the reason for the deterioration of the body has so much to do with it.
2. Sleeping on your sideSleeping on your side has the greatest external damage to the body, such as: joints, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. Therefore, the difference between sleeping on your side and sleeping on your stomach is that one is acute external and the other is chronic internal. What are the dangers of sleeping on your side for a long time:
1.Shoulder joint:
Sleeping on one side will cause the outer side of the humerus and scapula to go down and inward, and the inside of the scapula will be turned outward, and the back muscles on one side will be elongated after the inside of the scapula is upturned, and if it is maintained like this for several hours, then the muscles around the inside of the scapula will be injured and the shape of the scapula will change, the so-called pterygoid scapula. Therefore, lying on the side for a long time has great damage to the humerus and shoulder blades, the most obvious is bone deformation, paralysis of the shoulder and arm on the pressed side, shoulder pain, and medial shoulder pain.
2.Spinal Joints:
When sleeping with one side pressed, the height of the pillow has a great impact on the cervical and thoracic segments of the spine.
If the height of the pillow is parallel to the neck and body, it will not have much effect.
If the height of the pillow is too high, the joints of the cervical and thoracic vertebrae of the spine will change, which is easy to cause scoliosis.
If the height of the pillow is too low, it will change the cervical joints of the spine and cervical vertebrae, and it is easy for the cervical spine to be uncomfortable.
3.Cervical spine problems: Sleep with one side pressed.
If the pillow is too low, the lower side of the neck muscle will be shortened, the upper side of the neck muscle will be lengthened, the shortened side will not flow blood, and the elongated side will strain the muscles.
If the pillows are highly parallel, then the pressure will be all on the lower side, and when the neck muscles on the lower side are weak, the brachial plexus will be compressed, which is why the arm will be paralyzed when you wake up.
If the nerves and blood vessels in the neck are compressed for a long time, the cervical spine will definitely have problems.
4.Muscle atrophy:
Sleeping on one side, the muscles on one side will be stiff, the delivery of nutrients will be blocked, the muscles on one side will slowly atrophy for a long time, once the shoulder muscles are atrophied, the joints are easy to wear out, and the joint inflammation can not be metabolized normally.
3. Sleep on your back with a pillow raised.
1.When sleeping on your back, you need to be elevated to be able to sleep, which is generally caused by poor blood return in the neck and head, and it is easy to get dizzy when lying down.
2.There is a serious problem here, that is, after a period of height, you need to be raised again to be able to sleep, as far as I know, many people have this phenomenon, the more the neck and chest are raised, the more the chest is stretched forward, and the hunchback will appear, and the higher the pad, the more serious the hunchback.
4. Lie down and sleep.
1.Lying flat is the neutral position of human anatomy, but the premise is that the bed you sleep on is not collapsing, that is, you don't sleep on a bed that is too soft.
2.Sleeping in the human anatomical position, the body pressure is relatively the least, only the neck curvature, waist curvature, knee fossa three positions are a little stress, so we need to cushion the pillow to reduce the pressure of the neck curvature, the pillow is to reduce the pressure of the neck curvature, don't pillow wrong, because many people pillow on the head is wrong, and people who sleep on the cushion are also wrong to sleep on the back.
3.If we put some support on the position of the lumbar bend and knee socket, then our body sleeps in this situation, and when we wake up, it is quite relaxed and comfortable, and the muscles will be fully revived.
4.The height of the neck curvature, waist curvature, and knee socket is three centimeters.
The reason why many people do not feel sick before going to bed and wake up with fatigue and backache is because the incorrect sleeping position makes the body still under pressure and forced to work while sleeping.
Sports Maintenance Recommendations:
1.Sleep on your stomach.
Massaging the pectoral and abdominal muscles can soften the tension of the muscles and increase the movement and stretching range of the viscera.
Exercising the pectoral muscles and abdominal muscles can support the chest muscles for a longer time when sleeping on the stomach at night to reduce the pressure on the viscera.
2.Sleep on your side.
The side that is pressed moves the shoulder joint and elbow joint to exercise the shoulder muscles and arm muscles.
Long-term compression of one side of the scapula will lead to deformation and injury, and the scapula will be trained in the best function.
3.Sleep flat with a high pillow.
The cervical spine, thoracic spine and thoracic cage of the spine are moved to restore the bones and muscles to normal state.
The muscles of the back are overstretched, and the back muscles will lose their elasticity and appear weak after a long time, so it is necessary to exercise the muscles in the back of the neck and back to return to a normal state.
Tips:1Lying down is the healthiest sleeping position, and if you can't correct it right away, you can take it slowly.
2.There must be other reasons for not being able to sleep flat, and the general situation is that the blood return in the head is not good, and it is slowly adjusted.
3.If you really can't change to lying down and sleeping, you can do exercise and maintenance every day to alleviate the physical problems caused by poor sleeping posture and prevent it from getting serious.
4.When doing exercise, you should do it according to your own physical condition.
