Is it better to sleep on your side or on your back?

After coming home from a day's work, the most comfortable thing is to lie in bed and sleep.

Of course, sleeping posture will also affect the quality of sleep. Some people sleep in a big shape, lying on their side with a quilt and their heads tucked ... The result of such "comfortable" sleep may be a stiff neck, numb arms or backache the next day.

Although the posture before going to bed is comfortable, a series of aches and pains after waking up all mean that you didn't sleep well. So, what is the best sleeping posture?

1 what is the best posture for sleeping?

There are three common sleeping positions: supine, lateral and prone.

1. Sleeping on your back

The contact area between the body and the bed is the largest, the human body is the most relaxed, and the blood circulation between the body and the brain is better.

However, there are still unsuitable people, such as the elderly, people with small chin, fat tongue and obese people. It is not recommended to sleep on your back, because muscle relaxation will lead to narrow upper airway, aggravate snoring or cause snoring.

2. Sleeping on the side

can prevent the soft tissue of the pharynx and the tongue from falling back, and reduce the pressure on the airway caused by the fat tissue in the neck and chest.

Because the heart is close to the left side, sleeping on the left side is easy to press the heart, which will affect the blood flow, which is not good for people with heart problems.

Although the right side may have numbness in the arms and legs after a long sleep, it is better than the left side. Sleeping on the side is a favorite sleeping posture of many people, so it is more recommended to sleep on the right side.

3. Sleeping on your stomach

Sleeping on your stomach is the biggest contact area between your body and the bed, but the root of your tongue will hinder your breathing and affect your breathing. But if the bed is comfortable enough, these problems can be solved.

Therefore, except for special diseases, it is suggested that the best sleeping position is right, followed by supine, and finally left. Because sleeping on the right side can reduce the soft tissue of the pharynx and the fall of the tongue, avoid blocking the airway, prevent the neck fat from causing pressure on the upper airway, and make breathing as smooth as possible during sleep.

choose a comfortable sleeping position according to your own situation, or slowly change your sleeping position.
