Sleep is a valuable time for the body to repair and rejuvenate, but if you sleep in the wrong position, it can become a hidden killer of health. "The more you sleep, the more tired you get"This problem often plagues modern people, and the sleeping position is often the culprit that leads to this dilemma.
Incorrect sleeping posture can lead to muscle tension, breathing restriction and poor circulation. For example, if the pillow is too high when lying on your back, the neck will be abnormally curved, causing head and neck pain and poor breathing. If the body is not properly supported when lying on the side, it may lead to an increase in the burden on the back and cervical spine, resulting in repeated turning over during sleep and affecting the quality of sleep. On the contrary, prone sleep is extremely stressful on the lumbar spine and can easily induce low back pain or lumbar spine problems.
The ideal sleeping position should be to maintain the natural curves of the body. When lying on your back, the height of the pillow should be only high enough to keep the head in line with the spine and avoid excessive bending of the neck forward or backward. When lying on your side, a pillow should fill the gap between the head and shoulders to maintain a neutral position in the cervical spine, while a small pillow or folded blanket should be placed between the waist and knees to reduce scoliosis and hip pressure.
Supine sleep: Lie flat on your back on the bed with your head on a pillow at a moderate height to maintain a neutral position between your head and neck. You can bend your knees slightly, or place a small pillow under your knees to reduce pressure on your lower back. Sleep on your side: Lie on your side with your legs slightly bent and a pillow to fill the gap between your head and shoulders, keeping your head and spine level. Placing a small pillow between your knees prevents the upper leg from pulling on your waist. Sleeping on the side of a pregnant woman: Ideal for pregnant women, it is similar to the normal side sleeping position, but with the lower arms straight and the upper arms and legs bent to support the body. Place a pillow on your back and under your knees for extra support. In addition, the choice of mattress is also crucial. A first-class mattress provides proper support in different positions, maintaining the natural curve of the spine while allowing muscles to relax and recover. Consumers should consider their physical condition and sleeping habits when choosing a mattress to choose the most suitable product for them.
