I believe many people have this feeling. Obviously, they are tired enough and can finally sleep for a while when they sleep. But as soon as I went to bed, I found, my god, it seems that my neck is wrong, my waist is wrong, and my feet are wrong. Then they kept tossing and turning, trying to find a good sleeping posture, but what was more anxious was that they couldn't sleep well.
It's really important to adjust your sleeping position, so here I want to share some stable sleeping positions and how to adjust to a great position when sleeping, so that you can completely relax and have a good sleep.
How high and low should the pillow be?
Let's talk about the first step before discussing the height of the pillow. When we are lying on pillows, the most common mine mistake is to let our necks hang down!
You can refer to figure 1. If we lie flat, our heads are on the pillow, and our necks must not be suspended. The key point is that the neck must also be supported by pillows, because the main function of pillows is to support our head and neck well at the same time. Therefore, our bodies should try not to lie too low. When the pillow only reaches the top of the head, the shoulder and neck can't relax because the neck is suspended. Sleeping like this is easy to cause shoulder and neck pain.
The position of the pillow is properly adjusted, so that the head and neck are well supported, and then the "height" of the pillow is measured by the angle of the chin!
When we are lying on the pillow, our heads have leaned back, and then our chins are facing the sky. This means that your pillow is too low. Please see Figure 2- 1. Then look at figure 2-2. Is the chin too close to the chest? The whole head is too forward, too close to the body, and the chin almost touches the chest, indicating that the pillow is too high.
So when the height of the pillow is appropriate, as shown in Figure 2-3, the angle between the chin and the head is moderate, and the shoulder and neck are most relaxed at this time.
