What are the different sleeping positions?
There are 3 most common sleeping positions: supine, side, and prone. Let's see what the benefits of each position are.
Lying on your back
Sleeping on your back helps maintain the balance of your spine because when you lie flat on your back on the mattress, the weight of each part of your body is evenly distributed, reducing pressure on your joints and muscles, relieving aches and pains, and making breathing easier because your chest is wider. It reduces pressure points or wrinkles on your face because you are not sleeping on your side with your face and ears on the pillow.
However, there are some precautions to take because sleeping on your back may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who have problems with snoring. This is because the muscles of the soft palate, throat, and tongue relax, causing the upper airway to narrow. In addition, snoring is louder when sleeping on your back, and it is not suitable for those with lower back pain.
Side sleeping position
Sleeping on your side helps reduce snoring, keeps the airway open and makes breathing easier than other positions. It helps increase the efficiency of the digestive system because sleeping on your left side helps the intestines work better, reduces acid reflux, and helps blood circulate better. Sleeping on your side is suitable for pregnant mothers because when you are 4-5 months pregnant and onwards, you cannot sleep on your back, it feels difficult and uncomfortable.
However, there are some precautions to take. Although this is a position that many people like because it is comfortable to sleep in, it also has many disadvantages, such as causing wrinkles on the face because of sleeping on the side on the pillow for a long time, shoulder pain from pressure, arm numbness, neck pain because sleeping on a pillow that is not the right size, too high or too low, and the most dangerous is sleeping on the side with a curved body, risking spinal distortion.
Prone position
Sleeping on your stomach can help reduce snoring because people who snore when sleeping on their backs will snore louder than other sleeping positions. It helps reduce lower back pain and relieves pressure.
However, there are precautions to be taken because sleeping on your stomach makes it difficult for the sleeper to breathe due to pressure on the chest. The diaphragm contracts and relaxes more difficultly, causing neck pain because the pillow is not supported in a natural position. This causes pressure on the joints and bones, especially the neck and back, causing the spine to twist and arch the back. Even though sleeping comfortably at first, it causes body aches when waking up.
*It is recommended not to sleep in this position for long periods of time because it has more negative effects than positive effects.
Therefore, each sleeping position depends on the sleeper. Sleep in any position that makes you most comfortable, but it must be good for your body's physiology, not painful, and you can sleep with your spine arranged in an orderly manner, not twisted or crooked. When you wake up, you won't feel any aches and pains in your body. However, we can use a sleeping aid, which is a "sleeping pillow", to help support and adjust our sleeping position correctly, which is good for ergonomics, reduces pain, and allows you to sleep most comfortably throughout the night.
