From birth, we have to sleep at least eight hours a day, which is one-third of the time every day. When we sleep, we often pose a lot, some of which we know and some of which we don't know.
Now, let's take four most common sleeping positions: supine, prone, left and right, and analyze which sleeping position is suitable for you. Analysis of sleeping position 1. Lie on your back. About 60% people adopt this sleeping position, which is also a healthier sleeping position recommended by experts, because we will not oppress any internal organs of the body when lying on our back. Is this sleeping position completely suitable for everyone? Doesn't it have any shortcomings? Of course not. When taking this sleeping position, many people will put their hands on their stomachs, which is no problem, but if they put their hands on their chests, they will affect their sleep and have nightmares. Not only that, sleeping on your back has other disadvantages.
Experts say that most people like to adopt this posture, but if someone's pillow is too high, his neck will bend abnormally, which will affect the cervical vertebra. In addition, the respiratory tract will be twisted, the soft tissue will relax, and the suffix of the tongue root will appear, which will lead to sleep snoring and apnea, especially supine sleep.
Sleeping posture analysis II, prone. About 5% people use this sleeping position, which has the advantage of making people feel safer. If there is a foreign body in the mouth, it is also recommended for patients with lumbar diseases. However, prone posture is not recommended for middle-aged and elderly people, because it will oppress many organs such as heart and lung.
Experts say: If middle-aged and elderly people adopt this sleeping position, because their breathing ability is relatively weak, the chest width may affect their breathing activity after being oppressed by the body, and their hearts will also be oppressed. Pillows will block the respiratory tract and affect the ventilation problem.
Sleeping posture analysis III. Left sleeping position. About 10% of friends like this sleeping position. Usually, when we adopt this sleeping position, we can't keep it very stable, so many left sleeping positions are derived, such as putting one leg forward to form this climbing position, putting two hands in front of our heads, or putting one hand elsewhere, and so on. However, no matter which left sleeping position is adopted, for the average person,
Experts say: the heart is on the left side of the whole chest, so sleeping on the left side will affect the blood return of this heart. It can be said that sleeping on the left side is not suitable for some elderly people, especially those with heart disease, and sleeping on the right side may be better.
| Sleeping position analysis 3. Right sleeping position. This sleeping position is recognized by most people as a healthy sleeping position, mainly because it will not oppress the heart, stomach and other organs, nor will it affect the breathing during sleep, but as we just mentioned, any kind of sleep has advantages and disadvantages, mainly for different people.
Experts say: then lying on the right side is the posture that most people sleep in. Generally speaking, lying on the right side is a more physiological sleeping position, but the lung frame and right lung account for 60% of our whole lung function. If you have lung disease, sleeping on the right side may affect lung activity.
Improper sleeping position can induce or even aggravate the illness, so it is most important for us to choose the most suitable sleeping position according to our own situation.
