As you know
a big slice of hour day is spent in bed while asleep, so it’s very important to
sleep in a position the doesn’t ruin
your spine. There are three positions: the back position, side position and the
stomach position.
Click read more to see about this positions and to know which one is best.
Back
position (best) - good
This is the
best position to sleep because your head, neck and spine stay at neutral
position, so it won’t pronounce the curves on your back. It’s also good for the
acid reflux because your head is above the stomach level, and that way the acid
or food won’t come back up. And besides that, it prevents wrinkles because your
face ins’t in contact with the bed. Finally, if you´re a woman, the breasts
weight in fully supported, reducing their sagginess.
The only
con against this position is that, if you snore, the noise will be louder and
more frequent.
Recommended
pillow: A puffy pillow, so that your head stays comfortable and that your neck
stays unharmed.
Side
Position (intermediate) – bad
This
position prevents neck and back pain, reduces acid reflux, makes you snore less
(if you do), and it’s a good way to sleep during pregnancy, because it is good
to your blood flow.
It has a
downside mainly for women, you get wrinkles, beacause your face is in contact
with the pillow. And it increases breats sag because are dangling downward, and so
stretching ligaments.
Recommended pillow: A thick one, to fill the space above your shoulder,
so that your head and necks stays in a neutral position.
There is a variation of this
position called fetal position ( position when you were a fetus), that doesn’t “sag”
the breasts but it restricts diaphragmatic breathing, you stil get wrinkles
and, after a night with your knees pulled up and your chin tucker into your
chest, you may feel it in the morning.
Stomach position (worst) – ugly
In this position you will not prevent wrinkles, you won’t maintain a
neutral position (yor neck will be turned to one side for hours!), which leads
to neck and back pain (sometimes, if not, good for you!.
Recommended pillow: A thin one or none.
