- Sleep upside down
Sleeping on your stomach is considered the worst sleeping position and experts recommend that you gradually shift to the side, with the help of pillows. The only good thing about sleeping on your stomach is that it relieves snoring.
Sleeping in this position can lead to back pain. Stretch the neck, hold the head at an awkward angle and pull the abdomen down. Sleeping on your stomach is not recommended for pregnant women.
- Sleep on one side
Studies show that most people prefer to sleep on their side. They can take the "fetal position" or a narrower angle. Sleeping on the left side does not have the same effect as on the right side. Each has its own unique benefits as well as side effects.
- Right side
Advantages: Sleeping on the right side, allows your back to rest on its natural curve.
Disadvantages: If you sleep on your right side, you are tightening the entire cardiovascular system. This position tightens the lungs and rib cage. May impede blood circulation, causing you to move frequently at night. Avoid this position if you can and decide to sleep on your left side.
- The left side
Sleeping on the left side is also suggested for pregnant women. Be careful, because if you bend too much it can restrict deep breathing.
- Sleep with one foot up
While you sleep, your legs tend to move often.
Sleeping with one foot up causes a kind of unevenness in the body and is harmful to the pelvis, it can even give you back pain.
- Sleep with your back to the bed
This is the best sleeping position. In this position, your face is almost straight and the back of your head rests on the pillow.
In this way, you protect your face from wrinkles that come from "dipping" your face into the pillow and create an even distribution of body weight on your back.
This position is not good for people who snore. The throat and stomach are pulled by gravity, which makes it difficult to breathe.
