It’s late at night, so you turn off the lights and crawl into bed. Is your sleeping position on your belly, back or side? How you sleep can be linked to many health issues. According to the Guardian, if we were to live for 75 years, we spend 25 of those years sleeping.
Your sleeping position can be the cause of back pain and snoring and also how often you wake up at night. In some instances, your sleeping position can also reflect the type of personality you have.
Below you will find the most common sleeping positions and what they do for your health.
The Belly: If you sleep on your belly, you’ll tend to toss and turn to get comfortable. This can cause severe strain on your neck and lower back.
On Your Back: This position can cause lower back pain. If you have sleep apnea or snore, sleeping on your back can make it worse because your airways are narrower. The solution is to put a pillow under your knees if you are sleeping on your back. Everyday Health states that it will help your spin maintain its curve.
Soldier: According to WebMD, 8% of the world’s population favors this position. This position suggests that you keep close to yourself because you sleep with your arms close to your side, they add.
