Comfortable Sleeping

sleepingProper sleeping posture is that of sleeping on your side with knees slightly bent. Place a cushion between your knees to take pressure off your lower back and to prevent it from twisting. Place a pillow under your neck but ensure that it is not too high. Your head and the rest of your spine should be in line with one another.

If lying on your back, place a pillow under the knees. Support your neck with a small but firm pillow under the curve of the neck.

Lying in the fetal position with the head tucked in and knees up reverses your lower back and neck curves and increases spinal stress.

Lying on your stomach is the worst position to sleep in as it puts undue stress on your neck, mid back and hips.
