Choose the right sleeping position for you.
0 1, supine-the best public sleeping position
According to statistics, about 60% people in the world sleep on their back, which is also the best public sleeping position recommended by doctors. Its biggest advantage is that it can disperse the pressure of all parts of the body, so that the shoulders, neck and lumbar vertebrae are at the same level, and it will not oppress organs and sleep more easily. At the same time, it can also reduce the contact between the face and the pillow and reduce the interference of bacteria mites on the skin.
However, when lying on your back, the root of your tongue is easy to oppress the pharynx, causing snoring, and saliva is also easy to flow into the trachea, causing cough. Sleeping on the back of pregnant women can cause back pain, dyspnea, heartburn and other problems, so pregnant women, people who snore or have apnea had better not sleep on their backs.
Recommended people: patients with cervical spondylosis, arthritis patients and skin managers.
People not recommended: pregnant women, snorers and apnea patients.
02. Lying on your side-is it suitable for sleeping positions of special people?
Lying on the side can be divided into three types: lying on the left, lying on the right and sleeping curled up. About 35% people in the world choose this sleeping position.
1, lying on the left
Our stomach is on the left side of our body. Lying on the left side can reduce gastric acid reaction and heartburn, which is beneficial to the digestive system. Moreover, the respiratory tract will naturally open when sleeping on your side, which can reduce or reduce the sound/frequency of snoring.
Step 2 lie on the right
Because many people think that lying on the left side will oppress the heart and lying on the right side is good for the heart, there are generally more people lying on the right side than lying on the left side, but there is no scientific conclusion about which side is good for the heart.
However, compared with left lying, right lying has unique advantages. Lying on the right side will reduce the activity of nervous system, heart rate and blood pressure, so the frequency of dreaming will be less than lying on the left side. However, lying on the right side will affect the movement of the right lung and is not suitable for patients with emphysema.
Curl up and sleep
The main difference between curled sleeping and other lateral sleeping positions is that the legs will curl up. Its biggest advantage is to relieve the waist and reduce snoring. However, if the body is curled up too tense, it will affect deep breathing. People with joint inflammation or stiffness will feel pain and stiffness when they wake up in the morning.
However, no matter what posture you lie on your side, sleeping with it as the main posture for a long time is easy to produce wrinkles, aggravate the face shape and face shape, and also cause the problem of shoulder buckle and humerus moving forward, which affects the beauty of your body. People who want to correct their posture and pay attention to skin care are not recommended to lie on their side.
Recommended people for lying on the left side: pregnant women, people with stomach discomfort, patients with low back pain, patients with snoring, and patients with nasal diseases.
Recommended people lying on the right side: patients with coronary heart disease, patients with nervous dreaminess, patients with low back pain and patients with nasal diseases.
Curled up to sleep recommended crowd: patients with low back pain, patients with snoring, patients with nasal diseases.
People not recommended: emphysema patients, arthritis patients, body management and skin management personnel.
03, prone-the most unhealthy sleeping position.
Prone is considered to be the most unhealthy sleeping position. The biggest problem is that the back and neck are arched, which is not conducive to the relaxation of joints and muscles of the whole body. When lying prone, in order to facilitate breathing, you must tilt your head to one side, which will cause shoulder and neck pain in the early stage and easily cause headache and dizziness. Secondly, prone will oppress organs, leading to mental stress and easy to have nightmares. Xiao Yuan shouldn't sleep in this position under any circumstances, unless the pain in his back is unbearable or he has undergone back surgery.
Prone suggested crowd: none
Not recommended crowd: everyone.
The sleeping position mentioned above refers to the main sleeping position. Our sleeping position is changeable at night, so it is impossible to sleep until dawn. If you have special needs, you can adjust your usual sleeping posture as needed to see if the quality of sleep will improve the next day. If you are healthy and have no special requirements, you can sleep anywhere and how you want to sleep.
