First of all, the most common sleeping position is sleeping on your back. Lying on your back is a kind of sleeping position that is conducive to relaxing back muscles. In life, about 60% people are used to sleeping on their backs, because this sleeping position will not oppress the internal organs of the body, and it is a good sleeping position. There will be no squeezing and injury to the neck and spine. For patients with cervical spondylosis, experts suggest that the best way to sleep is supine. Because the cervical vertebra, thoracic vertebra, lumbar vertebra and coccygeal vertebra all have a certain curvature, lying on your back conforms to the physiological curvature of the cervical vertebra and helps to relieve the pain of the cervical vertebra.
But not everyone is suitable for sleeping on his back, such as people who snore heavily, because when lying on his back, his tongue will fall backwards, which is more likely to lead to poor ventilation and more frequent snoring. Friends who snore heavily are relatively suitable for sleeping on their stomachs.
Lying on your side is also a sleeping position that many people like. Lateral lying can also be divided into left and right lying. Sleep research experts say that lying on the left side is suitable for patients with gastric ulcer. If patients with gastric ulcer sleep on the right side, the amount of acid flowing back from the stomach to the esophagus will be more than normal, and it will continue, which is easy to cause stomach pain.
Sleeping on the right side is more suitable for friends with bad heart. Because this sleeping position will not oppress the heart, but also keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. Therefore, lying on the right side is good for your health.
It is worth noting that the pillow should not be too low when lying on your side, otherwise it will make your neck uncomfortable and easy to get stiff neck.
It's cold, and many friends like to curl up and sleep. Its advantage is that it can relieve some low back pain, relieve back pain caused by muscle or iliac bone problems, and relieve intervertebral disc pressure. However, when sleeping in this position, you must pay attention to choosing a pillow that suits you, but it should not be too high or too low. Try to keep the spine and neck in a straight line, otherwise the neck will become stiff.
