For some patients with special diseases, sleeping posture will have a certain impact on the disease, and focusing on one sleeping posture may be beneficial to the recovery of the disease. Let's see what diseases sleeping position can prevent. Good sleeping posture is the secret of keeping healthy. If patients with cerebral thrombosis like to lie on their side, it will aggravate the blood flow disorder, especially the slow blood flow in the neck, which is easy to gradually gather in the injury of the intima of the artery and form a thrombus.

First, patients with cerebral thrombosis can choose the appropriate pillow height and sleep on their backs. People with emphysema should also lie on their backs, try to raise their heads and extend their hands slightly upward. This will help to keep breathing unobstructed, breathe in fresh air and improve lung function. Generally speaking, patients with hypertension have arteriosclerosis, fragility, poor elasticity and poor self-regulation ability of blood vessels. If the pillow is low and the head is in a low position, it will lead to increased cerebral blood perfusion, excessive cerebrovascular load, brain edema and even cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, the sleeping position of hypertensive patients should be pillow supine. Pillows are generally about 10 cm high. Too high or too low will make you feel uncomfortable.

Second, the compensatory function of heart in patients with heart disease is generally poor. Generally, you should lie on the right side and avoid lying on the left side or lying on your stomach to reduce the pressure on your heart. If the patient has symptoms of heart failure, the heart's ability to pump blood will be poor, leading to severe congestion in the lungs. Use a half-lying and half-lying when sleeping. For patients with frequent angina pectoris, it is best to take an inclined sleeping position with upper body high and lower body low. Lying on your back is the only sleeping position recommended by American Academy of Pediatrics. Lying on your side and lying on your stomach may be dangerous until your baby turns over completely. Data from the National Institutes of Health show that the risk of sudden infant death is 1.7 to 12.9 times higher than sleeping on your stomach. Whether it is a nap during the day or a long sleep at night, parents had better let their baby sleep on his back from the beginning.

Third, some parents may find that the baby sleeps on his back when he first sleeps, but when he falls asleep, he will sleep on his side or on his stomach. Do you want to help your child turn over at this time? At first, parents can try to help the baby turn over and keep the baby lying on his back. If you help the baby straighten out two or three times, the baby will lie down by himself, which shows that the baby is very flexible from supine to prone. At this time, it is no problem for the baby to choose the most comfortable sleeping position.
