some facts for you ns
- Sleeping on Your Back
Sleeping on your back is great position for sleeping because you can
sleep in a position that support your head and neck and lower back
area. To combat any type of lower back stiffness or discomfort, sleep
with a few pillows or a wedge, such as a knee elevator, under your knees for optimal comfort. If you use a cervical support neck pillow, such as the cervical traction neck pillow,
you can allow your head and neck to be in the correct position where
there is least stress placed on your cervical spine. This position of
sleeping on your back with a cervical support pillow for the neck and positioning wedge
for your lower back is the least stressful for your body. Keep in mind
that you may start in this position, but for most people they move
around during the night time.
- Sleeping on Your Side
This is a popular position for sleeping for many people. There is a
natural tendency to sleep on ones side after starting out on your back.
When sleeping on your side make sure your pillow has enough support in
it to keep your shoulders relaxed at. If your pillow is too low, your
head will be tilting down, and if it is too high your head will be
stretched uncomfortably –both of which can be very uncomfortable. That
is why having a cervical support pillow that is properly sized is a
good idea. The Linear Gravity Neck Pillow
comes in 3 sizes- small, med and large to accomodate different sizes
and frams. To make this side sleeping position even more comfortable
and least stress on your body, place a pillow in between the knees that
keeps your legs hip width apart. This will properly support your lower
back area.
- Sleeping on Your Stomach
By far, the worst sleeping position is on your stomach. Not only does
it place extra stress on your cervical spine and upper back area, but
it also places stress on your stomach muscles. Sleeping on stomach
means your head and neck are going to be turned to one side (so that
you can breathe) for a prolonged period of time, which can create
stiffness by the morning. It puts strain on the cervical paraspinals
and levator scapulae muscles.
