Oo The two most important things that determine the quality of your sleep are your sleep position and your sleep surface.
HOW TO IMPROVE THE HEALTHFUL QUALITY OF YOUR SLEEP
since you spend about 1/3 of your life in bed, you should make it as restful and healthy a part of your life as possible. Here's what you should know about each of them.
*Your Sleep Position Is Important
Your posture in bed can contribute to back pain or spinal problems. So it's important to sleep in the position that's best for you.
-Sleeping On
Your Back
this least stressful position is usually recommended for proper spinal alignment. people who suffer low back pain may prefer a pillow under their knees or the small of their backs, but this should only be done after consulting your Doctor of Chiropractic. Placing thick pillows under your head should be avoided as they can place constant stress on the upper back and neck. It might also affect the normal curvature of the upper back and neck leading to possible spinal ailments.
-Sleeping On Your Side
With or without your knees bent, this is another healthful sleeping posture. But it's important to use enough pillows to keep your head level with the rest of your spinal column. This position is frequently suggested for expactant mothers to help relax the lower bck. Sometimes another pillow between the knees is helpful. Sleeping on your side may also reduce snoring.
-Sleeping On Your Stomach
This position forces your face to the extreme right or left which may cause undue stress on the joints of the cervical spine. It may also cause the rib cage to shift under the weight of the body which can contribute to stress in the lawer back. Other reasons this position is not recommended include symptoms such as neck and shoulder stiffness and morning headache. YOUR SLEEP SURFACE IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT
