How Your Sleeping Position Secretly Shapes Your Health
People spend nearly a third of their lives asleep—more time than in education or at work. Yet many overlook how their sleeping position affects health. Specialist Conny explains that poor posture during rest can harm the spine, blood flow, and even brain function.
The best sleeping position keeps the spine straight and lets muscles relax fully. Side sleepers should pick a firmer, higher pillow to support the neck. Back sleepers need a lower one that follows the neck’s natural curve.
Choosing the right pillow and position helps avoid strain on the spine and muscles. Small changes, like switching from stomach to side sleeping, can reduce pain and improve rest quality. Over time, better alignment leads to fewer health problems and more restful nights.
