The best posture for sitting and sleeping. Sleep is a human physiological need, and the most indispensable thing for everyone every day is sleep. Modern people spend one third of their time in sleep. Let's take a look at the best posture and related materials for sitting and sleeping.

The best posture for sitting and sleeping 1 The best posture for human sleep is to sleep in bed, but some people sometimes need to sleep in a chair because they are busy with work and tired. However, there is no best posture when sitting and sleeping, whether it is cervical injury, lumbar injury or vascular injury of lower limbs, it is inevitable.

Weighing the pros and cons, the best posture for sitting and sleeping is infinitely close to lying down and sleeping. If the backrest of the seat can be laid down, or if you sleep in a chair, the harm to your body will be reduced accordingly. If the chair backrest is fixed,

If you can't lie down, you can only sleep on the back of the chair or on the desk. But sleeping in the back of the chair, the damage to the cervical and lumbar vertebrae is obvious. If you sleep on your stomach, it will cause different degrees of damage to the blood vessels of the lumbar spine and lower limbs.

The best posture for people to sleep should be supine. But some people sit and sleep because of work and life. However, sitting and sleeping can easily exert great pressure on the joints of the spine, so that the muscular spine can not rest and is in a state of fatigue.

Therefore, it is not recommended to sit and sleep, but you must sit and sleep, not lie down, which will easily oppress the heart and lung organs, resulting in poor breathing; You should lie on your back and sleep with a pillow on your waist, so that your head and cervical vertebrae can be supported to the greatest extent, and you can keep a slight reclining position, which can approach the normal sleeping position to the greatest extent and achieve the maximum rest effect.

Sleeping in bed is the best posture for human body to sleep, but some people can't leave their posts because of busy and tired work, and sometimes they need to sleep in chairs. But whether the cervical spine is damaged, whether the lumbar spine is damaged, whether the blood vessels of the lower limbs are damaged, etc. Sitting and sleeping is really not the best posture.

This is inevitable. Weighing the pros and cons, if you can put your back down or sleep in a chair, the harm to your body will be reduced accordingly, so the best posture for sleeping in a sitting position is infinitely close to sleeping in a lying position. But sleeping in the back of the chair will obviously hurt the cervical and lumbar vertebrae. If you sleep on your stomach, it will cause different degrees of damage to the blood vessels of the lumbar spine and lower limbs.

The best sitting position and sleeping position 2 The correct sleeping position is as follows:

First, work and rest regularly, go to bed on time to ensure adequate sleep time;

Second, relax before going to bed and avoid excitement, excitement or irritating behaviors, such as slapstick, playing games, watching horror movies, drinking coffee, strong tea, etc.

Third, choose suitable mattresses, bedding, pillows and other supplies to create a comfortable sleeping environment and ensure the quality of sleep;

Fourth, choose a sleeping position that suits you, such as supine position, left position and right position, so that you feel comfortable.

People's sleeping positions are generally divided into four types, and the choice of sleeping positions should also be suitable for people. When lying on your side, people toss and turn when sleeping, which is easy to cause unstable sleep. The supine position is the most common sleeping position, which does not oppress any organs of the body, but it is easy to cause the drooping of the tongue base and hinder breathing.

When lying prone, people who use this sleeping position often feel safe when sleeping, which is helpful for the discharge of foreign bodies in the mouth and is good for patients with lumbar spondylosis. But most of the weight of the whole body is pressed on the ribs and abdomen, which makes the chest and diaphragm compressed.

It will affect breathing and increase heart load. Therefore, the correct sleeping position should be the right position, with legs slightly bent, so that the heart is in a high position and is not oppressed. Lying on the right side allows more oxygen to enter the body, and the liver is in a low position, which is beneficial to blood supply and metabolism.

There are only three sleeping positions, that is, supine, lateral and prone, because when lying on your back and prone, your body and legs can only be fixed in a straight position, which is difficult to change. When your legs are straight, your muscles will be in a state of tension and you will not be able to rest fully. It is easy to put your hand on your chest naturally when you lie on your back, which is easy to oppress your heart and lungs and have nightmares.

When lying on your back, it is easy to snore and even wake up at night because of the decline of the base of your tongue. When lying prone, the chest and abdomen are obviously compressed, and the nose and mouth are sometimes covered by pillows. In order to avoid occlusion, tilting the head to one side for a long time will cause cervical sprain, and prone position will also press the heart and lungs, which is not conducive to breathing and heart pumping. You can put your limbs in a more comfortable position when you lie on your side.

The best posture for sitting and sleeping 3. The correct way to sleep.

The correct sleeping position should be lying on the right side with legs slightly bent.

Reason:

Chinese medicine believes that lying on the right side, legs slightly bent. In this way, the heart position is high, it is not oppressed, the liver position is low, the blood supply is good, and it is beneficial to metabolism. Food in the stomach is pushed to 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 supplied with oxygen.

Extended data

Wrong sleeping position:

(1), sleep on your stomach

The biggest drawback of sleeping on your stomach is that it oppresses your heart. If the time is too long, or because of obesity and other reasons, the chest compression is too heavy, which may affect the whole body's blood circulation, leading to heart discomfort and difficulty breathing.

(2), curled up to sleep.

Curling up to sleep is not a good posture, not only like a small shrimp, but also harmful to the back and neck.

(3), pillow arm and sleep

Lying on your back for several hours will directly hurt the radial nerve of the upper arm, leading to paralysis of the forearm, wrist and fingers.

(4) completely sleeping on your side

Sleeping completely sideways is to hold down half of your body. If you hold down one arm and one leg, you won't feel anything at first, but when you become a habitual sleeping posture, there will be a problem of stagnation of blood.

Be sure to go to bed before 1, 1 1.

Chinese medicine believes that sleeping at night 1 1 point, that is, when the human body has the weakest yang and the highest yin, has a good effect of nourishing yin and better sleep quality.

At the same time, it is best to get up at five or six in the morning, which is conducive to the generation of yang. If you sleep late, you should get up early, and you can increase your nap during the day to make up for your lack of sleep.

Don't eat too much for dinner.

At night, people have insufficient yang. If they eat too much, it may cause food to accumulate in their stomachs, and long-term depression will turn into heat, which will easily lead to stomach fever and affect the quality of sleep. In addition, if you eat too much, it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to insomnia, dreaminess, neurasthenia and other symptoms.

3, sleep orientation is particular.

According to Sun Simiao's Qian Jin Fang, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, spring and summer belong to Yang, so you should sleep with your head facing east, and autumn and winter belong to Yin, so you should sleep with your head facing west.

4. People who can sleep live longer.

As the saying goes, "Those who can sleep and those who can eat live forever". The key to staying healthy is to have a good sleep. This is because sleep can re-accumulate energy, compensate the energy consumed by one day's activities, and reserve new energy for the next day's activities. In addition, sleep can also play a very good role in eliminating general fatigue, so that the brain nerves, endocrine, substance metabolism, cardiovascular activities, digestive function, respiratory function and so on. Can rest, promote the growth and self-repair of body tissues, enhance immune function and improve disease resistance.

5. "Sleep like a bow" works well.

The best sleeping position is "sleeping like a bow". This is because the heart of the human body is on the left side of the body, and lying to the right side can reduce the pressure on the heart. In addition, people who love snoring are also suitable for bow sleeping position.

These are the main points about how to sleep well. Everyone may wish to pay more attention when sleeping, not only to sleep well, but also to sleep well, in order to achieve the role of health care. Instead of spending a lot of money on various health products, it is better to stay healthy while sleeping and resting.

Conducive to the relaxation of the muscles of the whole body, with the least oppression on the chest, and it is not easy to cause snoring or cough. Clinically, it is best to lie on the right side, because the heart is on the left side of the chest. When lying on the right side, the heart position is higher and the pressure in the chest cavity is the smallest, which is beneficial to reduce the heart load and increase the output of the heart.

At the same time, the opening from the stomach to the duodenum is located on the left side, and the right side is conducive to the discharge of food from the stomach into the duodenum, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of food. Therefore, it is generally believed that it is better for ordinary people to lie on the right side, but after falling asleep, the body will turn over automatically, and there is no particularly suitable position.
