The Side Effects of Beding

Certain sleeping positions can make breathing difficult by straining one's back, neck, or shoulders. According to psychiatrist Nisi Bhopal, stretching in the womb is considered the worst sleep position.

The reason why this is the worst position is because your face can't be flat. The head leaning on one side represents a great strain on the back of the neck ligaments. I've rarely seen a good neck position in people who sleep in their stomach”, said the B.J. chiropractor.

What can help?

If you really enjoy sleeping in your belly, Dr. Bhopal suggests that you use as thin a pillow as possible or sleep without it to reduce pressure on your back.

The sleep on the back is considered the best position on which your back is flat, even though it may cause trouble for people snoring, sleeping or even acid refluks. If you do not suffer from such problems, you need to have a pillow that supports your head and neck to sleep on your back.
