What is the healthiest sleeping position?
Sleep is an indispensable process of life, a biological rhythm and an indispensable physiological phenomenon of human beings. About13 of a person's life is spent in sleep. Everyone should have a good sleep after a busy day. Sleep is to have a good rest and restore physical strength, so how to sleep is healthy?

1. Jim Horn, a professor at the Sleep Research Center of Loughborough University in the UK, said that lying on the left side helps to promote digestion and prevent heartburn. If heartburn and indigestion still do not improve after lying on the left side, it is suggested that the pillow be slightly raised. Lying on the right side will not oppress the heart and is suitable for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Step 2 lie on your back. Lying on your back is the most common sleeping position and the best public sleeping position. Lying on your back will not oppress the internal organs of the body, but can keep the head, neck and spine in a natural physiological curve and prevent neck and back pain. At the same time, it can avoid wrinkles on facial skin and prevent sagging breasts. However, lying on your back can easily lead to drooping tongue base and hinder breathing, so people who snore, people with respiratory diseases and pregnant women should not choose to lie on your back.

3, prone. Prone is often said to sleep on your stomach. This sleeping position can reduce snoring, but it will hinder chest expansion, press the heart and lungs, affect breathing, increase the workload of the heart and lungs, lead to chest tightness, and also cause neck and back pain. People with heart disease, hypertension and cerebral thrombosis are not suitable for prone position.

4. Sleep with a pillow. Put your hands under your head when you sleep, and sleep for hours at a time. Pressing the arm for a long time will directly cause compressive damage to the radial nerve of the upper arm, which is not conducive to nerve conduction in blood circulation and is easy to cause numbness and pain in the upper limbs, wrists and fingers. Pressing your arm for a long time may also turn into local nerve paralysis.
