Lesson 2. Be Smart, Be Healthy
Three. Sleep Well Peter
Hello, I’m Peter, a sleep specialist.
Your preferred sleeping pose can influence the quality of your sleep.
Discover the best positions for your body and the ones you may want to avoid.
The Best: Back Position
For most people, the best position for sleeping is on your back.
If you sleep on your back, you will have less neck and back pain because your neck and spine will be straight when you are sleeping.
Sleeping on your back can also prevent wrinkles because nothing is pushing against your face as you sleep.
One disadvantage of this position is that some people snore more when they sleep on their backs.
The perfect pillow: A soft one.
The goal is to keep your head and neck supported without lifting your head up too much.
Next Best: Side Position
The second best position is sleeping on your side with your body straight.
This can reduce snoring and it allows you to keep your spine relatively straight.
However, you may develop more wrinkles because of the pressure on your face.
The perfect pillow: A thick one.
You need to fill the space above your shoulder so your head and neck are supported in a neutral position.
Not Ideal: Curled-up Position
A poor position for sleeping is on your side with your knees curled up to your stomach.
This position makes it difficult to breathe and can cause back and neck pain.
So just straighten out a bit and try not to curl up so much.
A helpful pillow: A thick one―the same as the side position, to give support to your head and neck.
The Worst: Stomach Position
The worst position for sleeping is on your stomach because your spine is in a curved position and your head is turned to the side all night.
This can lead to back and neck pain during the day.
If you sleep on your stomach, I suggest that you stretch in the morning.
A few minutes of stretching will help straighten up your body.
A helpful pillow: Just a thin one or none at all.
Wow, I learned a lot today from these three health experts.
