Sleeping positions are crucial for good sleep. Have you ever woken up with back pain? You know what I am talking about, then!
Research shows that 84% of adults will experience this pain. However, there are some sleeping positions you might try for a night of better sleep. They will also soothe your spinal pain. No more discomfort!
Viral Strange will list 5 sleeping positions that will help you reduce that unbearable back pain while sleeping.
1. Fetal position
The fetal position is one of the most known sleeping positions. Lying on your side with your knees tucked into your chest relieves the discs between the vertebrae.
2. On the stomach with a pillow
Sleeping on your stomach with a pillow underneath the lower abdomen and pelvis area. It will ease back strain and help relieve pressure between the discs.
3. On the back with a pillow
Lying flat on your back with a pillow under your knees will improve the alignment of the spine and internal organs.
4. On the side with a pillow
If you sleep on the side like me, try to alternate between the left and right to avoid muscle imbalance. Place a pillow between your legs for proper body alignment.
5. On the back in a reclined position
This position will create an angle between the thighs and the trunk, reducing the pressure on the spine. Place a pillow behind your back, and your upper body will stay upright.
CHOOSE A GOOD MATTRESS
The mattress itself plays a role in better sleep. Research shows that you should choose beds that are neither firm nor very soft. It will help your spinal well-being. So, decide what you sleep on wisely!
