What Position is Best For Sleeping

  How you sleep at night really play a great role on how you operate for the day, this is well known, and however, there are many questions about the healthiest positions for sleeping. Truly, the healthiest position is one that allows you to sleep soundly at night, but there are some things you can do to create a healthier sleep experience in whatever position it is that you feel most comfortable.

Research from medical professionals, regard sleeping on your stomach as the least healthy way to sleep, and while it is not the most popular position, many find comfort in sleeping on their stomach. When you sleep on your stomach, your organs are receiving unnecessary pressure that may limit your air intake. Also, sleeping on your back flattens out your natural curves and may leave your lower back ache in the morning.

Sleeping on your stomach gives u a twisted neck, your spine is forced out of alignment and frequently cause aches and pinched nerves. If you find that you cannot sleep on your back or side, reduce the strain on your back by placing a pillow under one side of your pelvis, allowing your spine to believe you are sleeping on your side.

If you suffer from acid reflux, sleeping on your stomach can exasperate symptoms. Talk to your doctor about the sleep positions that don’t irritate acid reflux.

The most common sleeping position is on your side and research recommend this as the best position to sleep at night or during the day but people adopt to sleep on their back on the bed facing up , well its very healthy as well. There is one exception, however. Lying on your left side can cause your internal organs, especially your liver and lungs, to become constricted. Sleeping on your right side will allow your spine to relax in its natural curvature. Place a pillow between your legs to relieve pressure on your knees and keep your hips from rotating.

    Sleeping on your back is an ideal way to sleep because it allows for your internal organs to expand and relax, while sleeping on your right side constricts your rib cage, causing your lungs to strain.

Sleeping on your back is not the most common, however, it is the healthiest sleep position. This position allows your spine to relax in its most natural alignment. Sleeping on your back also promotes healthy organs, as it allows your organs to “breathe” and expand. Some find that lying flat on your back puts pressure on your hips. If this is the case, a simple solution is to place a pillow beneath your legs, leaving them slightly bent.

No matter what position it is that you find most comfortable, the way your head is positioned can make a big difference in the quality of sleep you receive at night. Having your neck stretched or crunched too far can affect your breathing and cause neck pains. Be sure that your neck is supported in a straight, forward-looking position.

Although many of us wake up in different positions than the one we fell asleep in, it is important to find a position that is most comfortable. Talk to your physician about any ailments that may be relieved due to a change in your sleep position.

 Sleeping Positions and Their Effects on Health

Getting enough sleep is the most important thing – but did you know that how you sleep can also impact your health? Let’s take a look at the following sleeping positions and what they do to your body.

1. On Your Back, Arms at Sides

Sleeping on your back with your arms at your side is generally considered to be the best sleeping position for spine health and it’s good for your neck, too, as long as you don’t use too many pillows. That said, back sleepers tend to snore more than those in any other position and sleep apnea is strongly associated with sleeping on the back.

2. On Your Back, Arms Up

This so-called “starfish” position is also good for the back. Whether you have your arms up around your pillow or not, sleeping on your back may also help to prevent facial wrinkles and skin breakouts. However, like the arms-down back sleeping position, this one can also result in snoring and problems with acid reflux. Plus, having your arms up can put pressure on nerves in your shoulders, leading to pain.

3. Face Down

Sleeping on your stomach can improve digestion but unless you’ve developed a way to breathe through your pillow, it most likely leads to you tilting your face in one direction or the other. This can put a lot of strain on the neck. Sleeping face down can also cause back pain, as the curve of the spine is not supported.

4. Fetal Position

Sleeping all curled up into a ball with your knees drawn up and your chin tilted down might be comfortable but it can do a number on your back and neck.

   The extreme curl of the fetal position can also restrict deep breathing. That considered, sleeping like a fetus can have you sleeping like a baby if you typically have problems with snoring or if you’re pregnant.

5. On Side, Arms at Sides

When you’re sleeping on your side with both arms down, the spine is best supported in its natural curve. This can definitely help reduce back and neck pain while also reducing sleep apnea. The downside? Sleeping on the side can contribute to skin aging due to gravity, meaning facial wrinkles and sagging breasts.

 6. On Side, Arms Out

This position has many of the same benefits of sleeping on your side with your arms straight down. However, any side sleeping can cause shoulder and arm pain due to restricted blood flow and pressure on the nerves, which may be exacerbated by having your arms out in front of you.

7. On the Right Side

If you’re a side-sleeper, which side you sleep on also makes a difference. Sleeping on the right side can worsen heartburn while sleeping on the left side can put strain on internal organs like the liver, lungs, and stomach (while minimizing acid reflux). For pregnant sleepers, doctors typically advise sleeping on the left side, since this can improve circulation to the fetus.

8. Pillow-Supplemented

Regardless of which sleeping position you prefer, it’s highly likely that you can get a better night’s rest with less pain in the morning by supplementing your body with a pillow. Back sleepers can put a small pillow under the arch of their spine, side sleepers can place a pillow between their knees, and stomach sleepers can place a pillow under their hips to support the joints and allow for full, pain-free relaxation.
