Let’s talk about how you sleep and how making some changes
could help benefit your body in the morning.
The position you sleep in has an affect on the way you
sleep. That’s right, the position you pick to sleep every night can cause
certain things to happen to you. Lets explore the worst to the best position to
help you sleep better.
Sleeping on your belly.
If you are a belly sleeper be prepared for neck problems,
wrinkles and ladies, your breasts might not be as perky after extended nights
of sleeping on your bellies. The only advantage to sleeping on your belly is
this position helps those who have a problem with snoring. It helps keep your
airways open. If you have neck problems, try and avoid sleeping this way.
Fetal position and/or on your side.
One of these things is not like the other, can you guess? If
you said that sleeping on your side was better, you would be correct! The
reason the fetal position isn’t good for you, is because while in the fetal
position you curve your spine. If you straighten out you are more likely to
have less back pain.
Sleeping on your back.
That’s right, sleeping on your back is the best position.
Not only does it help keep your back straight but it also helps with acid
reflux. The only downside you are more likely to snore while sleeping on your
back. This will not impact your sleeping but may affect anyone sleeping next to
you.
Regardless of what position is best or worse for you while sleeping, the only thing that matters is if you are comfortable. If you are comfortable on your belly, you will have better sleep than trying to force yourself to sleep any other way.
