During sleep, the body restores vital resources. For this, it would seem enough to sleep 6-8 hours a day. And this luxury can afford not every hard worker. In addition to the fact that the body needs a certain period of time to recover, it must be remembered that the position during sleep is very important for quality rest. Today we will talk about dangerous poses in your sleep and how to fall asleep to prolong your life.



The most dangerous position during sleep is the position on the stomach. During sleep, the neck is in an unnatural twisted state, which worsens the blood supply to the brain. When a person sleeps on his stomach, his lungs are squeezed and do not open completely when inhaled. Thus, the heart, instead of resting, works in an enhanced mode. There is compression of the bladder, and compression of the breast leads to loss of elasticity and attractiveness of the decolletage zone.



Dr. Alexei Mamatov warns against sleeping on the stomach and allows only people with an ideal spine to sleep in this position. After sleeping on the stomach, pain in the neck, numbness of the hands due to the fact that a person in a dream involuntarily puts his hand under the stomach or under the head. In addition, there is a risk of earning a headache because of this position.

There are advantages to this position, such as the absence of snoring. Also, people can sleep on the stomach with colic, to prevent ulcers or gastritis. It is important not to eat at night if a person is used to sleeping on his stomach. To choose a pillow should be approached responsibly: it should be soft, flat and elastic. The head should lie flat on the pillow.

Pose on the back is much better for sleeping, but not perfect. In this position, the arms and legs are straightened, the spine is in a comfortable position, does not twist or bend. Sleeping on the back is indicated for people with scoliosis or heart problems. Also, sleep on the back prevents wrinkles, because folds and wrinkles do not form on the face in such a position. During sleep, breathing may stop on your back, and pressure surges may also occur.



Unfortunately, it is in the position on the back that a person is most susceptible to snoring: the jaw falls in and interferes with proper breathing. It is contraindicated to sleep in this position for pregnant women, people with asthma. A pillow for sleeping in a position on the back should be chosen medium height moderately soft. The pillow should support the head, but not lift it too high.



In this position, the airways do not close, but sometimes snoring can bother. And on the neck and chest in a posture on the side, folds and creases are formed, growing into facial wrinkles. Children like to sleep on their side with their head thrown back – this position can lead to the formation of an incorrect bite. The ideal position for sleep is the posture of the embryo, but there are nuances.

For proper rest in such a position, you need to choose a lush and thick pillow. Doctors say that for the correct position you need 5 pillows, but you can do with one large pillow for pregnant women. It fills the space under the neck and prevents the spine from bending when the pillow is between the legs. Instinctively, a person in such a position with the wrong pillow jacks up a blanket under himself, because in this position the body can rest qualitatively and not strain.



Sometimes you just need to trust your body. As you can see, all sleeping poses have both disadvantages and advantages. If you do not feel tired and unpleasant sensations in the spine or muscles, then you choose the right position for your body for rest. However, doctors recommend going to bed in the fetal position or on your back to at least fall asleep in the correct position. Dr. Alexei Mamatov described in detail the risks of sleep for health in the wrong position, we suggest to familiarize yourself with the cognitive video on his channel.
