What is the correct posture to sleep?

Answer 1

No matter what position you lie in, the pillow should be under your head, but not your shoulders, and should be a thickness that allows your head to be in a normal position.

* Try to sleep in a position which helps you maintain the curve in your back (such as on your back with a pillow under your knees or a lumbar roll under your lower back; or on your side with your knees slightly bent). Do not sleep on your side with your knees drawn up to your chest. You may want to avoid sleeping on your stomach, especially on a saggy mattress, since this can cause back strain and can be uncomfortable for your neck.
* Select a firm mattress and box spring set that does not sag. If necessary, place a board under your mattress. You can also place the mattress on the floor temporarily if necessary. If you've always slept on a soft surface, it may be more painful to change to a hard surface. Try to do what's most comfortable for you.
* Try using a back support (lumbar support) at night to make you more comfortable. A rolled sheet or towel tied around your waist may be helpful.
* When standing up from the lying position, turn on your side, draw up both knees and swing your legs on the side of the bed. Sit up by pushing yourself up with your hands. Avoid bending forward at your waist.

Answer 2

There is no correct "Posture"unless you are a baby and then you sleep on your back. If you have certain medical conditions you may need to sleep in a certain position. Sleep where and how you are comfortable.

Sleep on your right side... If you sleep on your left side you place pressure on your heart. If you sleep on your back you run the risk of a stiff back in the morning. If you sleep on your stomach apparently you can get a stiff neck and place undue stress on mainy of your internal organs. Bet you will never sleep the same after reading this - I know that this knowledge altered my sleep patterns hey!!

Answer 4

Well my physical therapist seems to think that sleeping on ones sides is the best, she said that if you sleep on your the stomach than you will strain the mucsles in your back that allow you to flex backwards, and I assume sleeping on your back effects the mucsles that you flex forward with.

It's definitely not how I sleep. I wake up with half my body hanging off the bed with my head on the floor. It's interesting.

Answer 7

If you can elevate your legs a bit while laying on your back, this is good. People suggest putting a good pillow under them. If you lay on your side, they suggest putting a pillow between your legs. I find this very uncomfortable however and difficult to do.

Answer 8

If you are on your back, elevate your legs by putting a pillow under it. I like to sleep on my side in a fetal position, this is good for your back.

Answer 9

Hopefully, lying down, in what comfortable position you can get into. Of course that position will change throughout your sleeping period.
Unless you are narcoleptic. If your are, it can be anywhere, anytime.
