The most useful and harmful postures to sleep on the version of Scientists

Certainly, many found themselves in such a situation: slept 9-10 hours that way in a ringing silence, but in the morning woke up in wretched condition, if not rested at all. The cause of this is the wrong position for the selected sleep.





On the back

The position "on the back" with arms at his sides or folded his hands on his stomach, doctors called one of the best for a good rest and the most beneficial for health.

"When we sleep on their backs, our spine is in the natural" alignment "without distortion. In addition, sleep on your back - this is the best position for the neck and head, because in such a situation there is almost no pressure, and thus there is an even distribution of weight, "- explains Dr. Mehmet Melamed from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. At the same time, according to doctors, posture "on the back" is not suitable for people suffering from asthma, because it will provoke attacks. According to the doctor, a dermatologist at the University of St. Louis, posture "on the back" is ideal for those who seek to preserve the youthfulness of the skin, as in this position almost does not touch the face with a pillow, so - do not risk to acquire wrinkles

Starfish

Next on the list of safe - pose on his back with divorced or towards their hands up. It is often called the "star of the sea».





"This position is good for your back, but in this situation people often snore (particularly those who are predisposed to this phenomenon)", - says neurologist Dikont Jim from the hospital in Birmingham Norwood

. Also, according to the doctor, due to throw up the hands, there may be pressure on the shoulders, which can lead to discomfort and pain in the morning.

< On the side

In general, sleep on the side of doctors classified as safe, but there is of this method a number of important features. For example, regardless of the selected hand rest in such a position is fraught with the appearance of wrinkles on the face and neck (if you ever sleep on the same side).





Sleeping on the right side can cause heartburn in people suffering from this problem. And the left - to cause an increased load on some of the internal organs. At the same dream on your side reduces the likelihood of snoring. Pregnant women, doctors recommend sleeping on your left side just to maintain optimal blood circulation (this posture increases blood flow to the uterus).

By the way, neuroscientists, researchers from the University of Rochester in New York as a result of a recent study concluded that sleep on their sides is the most effective for getting rid of metabolic waste (protein beta amyloid, which leads to Alzheimer's disease), accumulated during the day. In other words, scientists say that the situation "on the side" allows the best to unload the brain and prepare the body for new feats.

< in the fetal position

Position on your side in the fetal position (with pursed knees), people often choose to experience feeling cold during sleep. Sleep in this position best allows you to keep warm. However, this is probably the only plus position.





With knees pressed to his chest can cause pain in the back and shoulders in the morning, as it implies an increased load on the joints, says Dr. Melamed Mehmet from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Also, the embryo posture can cause respiratory failure, which in turn will result in insufficient oxygen to the brain during sleep secured.

< In the belly

This position is called the most dangerous physicians. At rest on the stomach is suffering primarily the spine. Not receiving any support at all, it bends, which leads to a violation of his natural position. Besides sleeping on your stomach is fraught with blood circulation, numbness and tingling in the shoulders and neck, as if the head of such a position is always turned to the side at right angles, explains orthopedic surgeon from New York, Jonathan Fitsgordon.





If posture "on the belly" - the only one in which it is possible to sleep, physicians recommend underlay for themselves a small cushion (pelvic area), to adjust the position of the spine and thus reduce the load
