What is the best sleeping position for people? Is it left or right? Sleep on your back? Seek an answer

As the saying goes, if you can't find a sleeping party, you can't find a fairy. Today, I will talk about the correctness of sleeping posture and its influence on sleep quality. When people sleep, the best sleeping position is to sleep on the right side, with the head facing north and south and the head facing north and feet facing south.

First of all, the best sleeping position when sleeping is sleeping on the right side:

Many people wake up from sleep and feel dizzy, backache and exhausted. The main reason is improper sleeping position.

Lying on your back is the most common sleeping position. In Chinese medicine, this sleeping position is called corpse lying. This sleeping position can only fix the body and lower limbs in a straight position, and can't achieve the purpose of full body rest.

When the pressure in the abdominal cavity increases, lying on your back can easily make people feel chest tightness and panic. Lying on your back like this, you will consciously or unconsciously put your hand on your chest, which will put pressure on your heart and lungs and make you prone to nightmares.

When lying prone, most of the weight of the whole body is pressed on the ribs and abdomen, which makes the chest and diaphragm compressed, affects breathing and increases the heart load. Prone posture will also increase the curvature of the lumbar spine, leading to the compression of the small joints behind the spine. When lying prone, the neck is twisted to one side and the head is tilted to one side, which is easy to cause neck muscle injury.

When lying on the left side, your legs are slightly bent, which is beneficial to relax your body and help to eliminate fatigue. However, the heart is located between the left and right lungs in the chest, and the outlet from the stomach to the duodenum and the outlet from the small intestine to the large intestine are on the left. Therefore, when lying on the left side, not only the heart is squeezed, but also the gastrointestinal tract is compressed, and the gastric emptying slows down.

Chinese medicine believes that the correct sleeping position should be lying on the right side with legs slightly bent. In this way, the heart is in a high position and is not oppressed; Low liver position and good blood supply are beneficial to metabolism; Food in the stomach is pushed to the duodenum by gravity, which can promote digestion and absorption. At the same time, the whole body is in a relaxed state, breathing evenly, the heartbeat slows down, and the brain, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, muscles and bones are fully rested and supplied with oxygen.

Of course, for a healthy person, there is no need to be too rigid about his sleeping position, because overnight, people often can't sleep in a fixed position until dawn, and most people are constantly changing their sleeping position, which is more conducive to relieving fatigue.

Second, the direction of the bed and the direction in which people sleep.

According to the principle of the earth's magnetic field, the bed at home is best in the north-south direction. When people sleep, their heads face north and their feet face south, which is beneficial to their health.

The earth is a huge magnetic field, and its magnetic field lines come out from the North Pole and enter the South Pole through the surface of the earth. The biological current channel of human body is perpendicular to the direction of the earth's magnetic field line, and the magnetic force of the earth's magnetic field becomes a kind of resistance of human body's biological current. To restore normal operation and reach a new equilibrium state, it is necessary to consume a lot of calories and improve metabolic capacity. In the long run, when the body can't get enough energy from the outside, the blood circulation will be abnormal and morbid. At the same time, in order to achieve a new equilibrium state, the consumed energy surrounds the bed in the form of heat, which makes it difficult to fall asleep when sleeping. According to this truth, people sleep with their heads facing north and their feet facing south, so that the magnetic field lines can pass through the human body smoothly and the interference of the earth's magnetic field can be minimized. The biological macromolecules in the human body will change from disorderly arrangement to directional arrangement, and the current direction in the human body, that is, the running direction of qi and blood, is parallel to the earth's magnetic field line. The direction of sleep conforms to the magnetic field line, and under the action of magnetic field force, qi and blood run smoothly. This sleeping direction can reduce people's metabolism and energy consumption, which is beneficial to smooth blood flow and improve sleep quality.
