Ideal Sleeping Positions to Fix Common Body Problems
Fix common body problems by altering your sleeping position:
Shoulder Pain:
Sleep on your back. If you want to sleep on your side, ensure you do not sleep on the shoulder you have pain. Sleep on the other side and place a big pillow at chest height to rest your arm on it.
Back Pain:
Lie on your back and place a pillow or a rolled towel under the small of your back. This position is most suited to reduce back pain.
Alternatively you may lie on your side and put a pillow between your knees for extra support. A fetal like position can be beneficial for people with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. Avoid sleeping on your stomach and place a pillow under pelvis or lower abdomen to relieve stress if you do.
Acid Reflux:
Place head in a slightly raised position. Elevate the head with pillows or raise the head of the bed by placing bricks under the front legs. Sleeping on the side is also recommended.
Plantar Fasciitis:
Make sure that feet and ankles are in relaxed position. Avoid tucking in and binding your feet in the sheets.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea/ Snoring:
Avoid sleeping on your back to prevent sleep apnea. Sleep on your side to avoid collapse of tongue/ tissues to throat.
Neck Pain:
Avoid sleeping on the stomach and sleeping with too many pillows under the head. Keep the pillows just above the shoulders. Try keeping the neck in a neutral position.
