This is a very unconscious sleeping position. Before going to bed, you may put your arm on the pillow and think about things, but you fall asleep unconsciously. When I wake up, I only feel that my arm is not my own, and I don't listen to the fingers on my shoulder.
Traditional Chinese medicine flower protection: the arm lying on its back for several hours will directly cause compressive damage to the radial nerve of the upper arm, leading to paralysis of the forearm, wrist and fingers.

Interpretation of TCM
Experts surveyed 2000 patients with cerebral infarction, and found that more than 95% of them have the habit of sleeping completely on their side and pressing half of their bodies. On the basis of arteriosclerosis, this sleeping position aggravates the blood flow disorder, especially the blood flow velocity in the neck slows down, which is easy to accumulate in the intima injury of the artery and form thrombus. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, it is more appropriate to lie on your back and lie on your side from time to time.
Secret: Recommend the gold medal sleeping position "semi-side lying"
As the saying goes, "A thousand daughters should set a square, and the Taoist forest nourishes nature", "It is better to lie down than to kneel on one side." It is wise to lie on your side. But "lateral lying" means "semi-lateral lying", which ensures that the whole body is relaxed, the qi and blood are smooth, and the viscera are accessible.
Physiologically speaking, lying on the right side is more scientific. When lying on the right side, the air intake of the right lung accounts for 59% of the whole lung, and the circulating blood volume of the right lung accounts for 68% of the whole lung (due to gravity, the pulmonary blood flow of the lower lung is definitely more). When lying on the left side, the above two indexes of the left lung were 38% and 57% respectively. Compared with the percentage of blood flow, the percentage of air intake when lying on the right side is close (the difference is 9%), and the difference when lying on the left side is large (the difference is 19%). The oxygen needed by human body is transported by blood after gas exchange, which shows that lying on the right side is better than lying on the left side. In addition, the heart is located between the left and right lungs in the chest, leaning to the left. When lying on the left side, the heart is easy to be squeezed and the burden on the heart is easy to increase. It is reasonable for a normal person to lie on his side. But pay attention to the pillow you sleep on your side, or it will make your neck uncomfortable.
Most people like to lie on their backs, and their sleeping posture is large, which is beneficial to blood circulation and is also in line with sleep hygiene. But be careful not to put your hands on your chest when you lie on your back, or you will have nightmares easily.
In fact, it is impossible for a person to keep a posture during the whole night's sleep and turn over or change the position of his limbs at a certain time to get comfortable. In the process of sleeping, as long as people can fall asleep quickly and have no uncomfortable feeling, it is enough to master a lying position and not be too rigid.
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 positions, which is more conducive to relieving fatigue.
