The most comfortable sleeping position: supine.

Advantages: prevent neck and back pain, reduce the chance of gastric acid reflux, reduce wrinkles and maintain a confident chest.

Lying on your back can make your head, neck and spine in a natural physiological curve (cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and coccygeal vertebrae all have natural radians), which is very comfortable, while other sleeping positions may force your back to twist.

Health experts pointed out that supine is the best choice to avoid gastric acid reflux. Because when lying on your back, the pillow will raise your head and make your stomach in the lower reaches of the esophagus, so gastric acid and chyme will not flow back so easily! Lying on your back can avoid wrinkles on your face and prevent sagging breasts! How many women have made up their minds to change their sleeping position when they see this? )

Moreover, when lying on your back, the facial skin is not pulled and interfered by other additional forces, which greatly reduces the probability of wrinkles. In addition, when lying on your back, your chest can get the greatest support. Do you still have to worry about sagging?

But not everyone is suitable for sleeping on his back.

Snoring: Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Dr. Olson pointed out that one disadvantage of lying on your back is that snoring will become more frequent and more serious. Because when lying on your back, the root of your tongue may lean backwards due to gravity, which will hinder breathing and increase the chance of snoring. Therefore, people who snore should consider whether to change their sleeping position.

2. Pregnant women: Pregnant women who are used to sleeping on their backs should pay attention to "supine hypotension syndrome", which is a series of symptoms caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure in a specific supine position. In severe cases, it can lead to shock. Generally, the clinical symptoms of pregnant mothers with mild symptoms will soon disappear, and serious symptoms will last until the position changes.

With the continuous growth of the fetus, when lying on the back, the enlarged uterus of pregnant women compresses the inferior vena cava, which hinders the blood return of pelvic cavity and inferior vena cava, and the blood reaching the heart drops sharply, resulting in a rapid decline in cardiac output and blood pressure. The enlarged uterus will also compress the diaphragm, which will lead to the excitement of vagus nerve, the slow heartbeat, the dilation of cardiac blood vessels and the drop of blood pressure.

Better sleeping position: lying on your side.

Advantages: Side lying can not only prevent neck and back pain, reduce gastric acid reflux, but also reduce snoring, especially suitable for expectant mothers.

Domestic experts believe that foreign rankings are for reference only and should vary from person to person. Xu Dacheng, an expert at Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said that people's posture during sleep is not fixed, but

When you fall asleep, you feel that you keep a relatively fixed posture, but in fact, during the whole night's sleep, people's posture usually changes 20-60 times. A healthier sleeping position has existed since ancient times, and that is "half"

Lie on your side!

If the expectant mother is pregnant for more than 20 weeks and lies on her back, the heavy uterus may compress the abdominal aorta in front of the spine and slow down the blood supply to the uterine artery. Therefore, for the second and third trimesters,

Mothers, lying on your side is a good choice. Only this side should be divided a little, because the uterus with the fetus will naturally rotate to the right. In order not to let the uterus "tilt" too much, expectant mothers had better choose the sleeping position lying on the left.

Disadvantages: skin wrinkles, sagging breasts (carefully selected by women who love beauty).

The most comfortable thing when lying on your side is to bury one side of your face in a soft pillow. But Dr. Glazer said that it is this that causes facial skin to be stretched and wrinkled.

Rossini, medical editor of Health magazine? Roshini Rajapaksa reminds female readers that lying on one's side for a long time will stretch the mammary ligament, affect its elasticity, and lead to sagging breasts.

Sleep: If you are a expectant mother, lying on the left side is a very good sleeping position!

Perfect pillow: thick pillow. Boston physiotherapist Kane? Ken Xia Lun said that considering the height of your shoulders when lying on your side, a pillow lying on your side should be able to support your head and neck at the same level as your spine.

Not ideal sleeping position: fetal sleeping position

Advantages: reduce snoring, suitable for expectant mothers.

Disadvantages: it is not conducive to relieving head and neck pain, wrinkles, breast sagging and other problems.

Fetal sleeping position can make you feel safe, just like being cared for in your mother's body. However, with such a large curl and bending, the back muscles are often overstretched, resulting in adverse consequences. Dr. Olson said,

It is not comfortable to sleep in this position for one night with your knees high and your chin drooping on your chest. If your spine or other joints are inflamed, the pain will get worse.

This large bending posture will also restrict the diaphragm in the body and hinder the normal breathing movement. Also, if you are worried about wrinkles and sagging breasts in advance, think about whether your sleeping position is ideal. Besides lying on your back, other sleeping positions will cause these sad changes!

Sleep: straighten up a little and don't make yourself a question mark.

Perfect pillow: of course, the pillow should be bulging, similar to lying on your side, and you need to pay attention to the height of your shoulders.

Worst sleeping position: prone.

Advantages: reduce snoring.

Disadvantages: aggravate neck and back pain, wrinkles, sagging breasts and other problems.

The list of sleeping positions thinks that the worst sleeping position is prone, although the benefit is to relieve snoring symptoms. But it can cause neck and back pain, long wrinkles and breast deformation. It is difficult to keep the spine comfortable when lying prone, and it will also cause pressure on joints and muscles, stimulate nerves and cause pain.

Sleeping in prone position also has certain influence on reproductive system. Sleeping on your stomach for a long time will oppress the scrotum, stimulate the penis, and easily cause frequent nocturnal emission. Frequent nocturnal emission can lead to dizziness, backache, fatigue, inattention, and even affect normal work and life.

Although belly down is the resting position of most mammals, it is the "worst sleeping position" for humans. Because prone position can not only ensure that the spine is in the most relaxed physiological state, but also increase joints and muscles.

Adding extra pressure will stimulate the corresponding motor nerves, and eventually you will feel that when you wake up, you will not feel tired, but some parts of your body will feel very painful, or feel numb and tingling.

Don't you think prone position will have such a great influence on muscles and joints? Try to twist your head to one side and keep still 15 minutes, and then tell me how you feel! When you lie on your stomach, your head will twist to one side for a whole hour. In a short time, you may not realize the harm. After a long time, the pain problem comes.
