How are you sleeping at night? Sleep is the body’s uninterrupted time to repair tissue damage, heal wounds, restore organ function, stabilize chemical imbalance, refresh areas of the brain that control mood and behavior, and improve performance. Restful sleep– and a proper sleeping position– is a critical part of maintaining good health. It’s critical that we learn to sleep in the best position for proper spinal alignment. The better shape our spine is in, the lower our chances of developing neck, pain, or shoulder pain become. The better our spinal alignment is, the better our overall posture will be during the day. Do you sleep on your back? If so, placing a small pillow under your knees can help to reduce stress and strain on your spine and support the curve in your lower back. The pillow your head is resting on should support your head and the angle of your neck and shoulders. Are you a stomach sleeper? Sleeping on your stomach can cause stress on the back because the spine can be thrown out of position. To avoid this, place a flat pillow under your stomach and pelvis area. This will keep your spine in better alignment, as will sleeping with a flat pillow under your head or without a pillow at all. Or are you a side sleeper? This is the most commonly used sleep position. And it is vital to have good neck support for all side sleepers. The thickness of the neck pillow may create muscle spasms and strain on either one or the other side of the neck, which may cause pain and headache. Roll up a soft towel and put it under a thin pillow on your preferred sleeping side to support your neck in a good alignment.
