I believe many people have the experience of watching TV on the sofa or bed and sleeping when they are tired. What you don't know is that this is also a bad habit that hurts the cervical spine. Because in the nap or sleep state, the muscles of the neck will relax and cannot protect the cervical spine. At this time, the weight of the head is borne by the cervical intervertebral disc and facet joints, which is easy to cause their degeneration and injury.

If you still have the habit of taking a nap on a long-distance bus, you should pay attention to it: bumps during driving can easily cause serious injuries such as atlanto-occipital joint dislocation or whiplash injury.

Extended data:

Sleeping posture is very important for patients with cervical spondylosis, and supine sleeping posture is most beneficial to the health of patients with cervical spondylosis. Sleeping on your back is a sleeping position recommended by many doctors, because it can better keep the natural curvature of the spine and is suitable for people with cervical or spinal pain. So what kind of supine position is standard? Supine position-generally, the head and neck are placed in the middle depression of the pillow, so that the fulcrum of the pillow is located in the middle of the back of the neck and adapts to the curvature of the back of the neck to maintain the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine.

If you have this disease, you must treat it in time. Don't be lucky or afraid of medical treatment, so as not to bring more harm to yourself. Scientific prevention and treatment is the correct treatment.
