Does sleeping posture affect the body?

Sleep is very important for human health. Reasonable sleeping posture can not only ensure the quality of sleep, but also reduce the occurrence of physical discomfort and diseases. However, different sleeping positions have different effects on health. Some people like to sleep on their stomach, some people like to sleep on their sides, and some people like to sleep on their backs. Among them, the recently popular "lying back to the sun" sleeping position has attracted much attention, and it is said that it can improve the quality of sleep. So is this sleeping position really healthier? How big is the influence of different sleeping positions on health? Let's answer them one by one.

First of all, talk about the sleeping position of "Sun Lie". The so-called "lying in the sun" means sleeping on your back. Compared with lateral position and supine position, supine position does have certain advantages. Some medical experts believe that sleeping on your back is beneficial to relieve gastroesophageal reflux, reduce back pressure, maintain the elasticity of facial skin and reduce the formation of wrinkles. In addition, the supine sleeping position also has a certain protective effect on the health of the spine, because this sleeping position can make the body stretch naturally, thus reducing the pressure and injury to the spine.

But sleeping on your back also has some disadvantages. First of all, sleeping on your back can easily cause snoring and sleep apnea, which is not suitable for people with respiratory diseases. Secondly, sleeping on your back for a long time may increase the burden on the cervical spine and cause cervical pain and discomfort. In addition, supine sleeping position is not suitable for pregnant women and people with gastrointestinal discomfort.

In addition to sleeping on your back, sleeping on your side is also the choice of many people. Compared with lying on your back, the advantages of sleeping on your side are also very obvious.
