The pros and cons of 4 different sleeping positions have profound implications for your health

Our brains are smart and our bodies are not stupid. When the body feels uncomfortable after falling asleep, it will naturally adjust its posture and eliminate fatigue. So, we sleep however we feel comfortable and however we like. However, different sleeping positions have their own advantages and disadvantages for health.

For healthy people, there is no need to worry too much about the posture when falling asleep. Because you don’t know how many times you will toss and turn that night, and the probability of maintaining the same posture until dawn is very small. However, sleeping posture is important for some less healthy people.

Supine: The most popular sleeping position chosen by 60% of people.

Advantages: No pressure on the internal organs.

Disadvantages: This is a sleeping position that is more likely to cause nightmares. One reason is that it can easily cause the root of the tongue to fall down and block breathing; the other reason is that after falling asleep, people will unconsciously press their hands on their chests, causing nightmares.

Suitable for people: People with lesions on both sides of the lungs (other positions are not suitable).

Unsuitable group of people: People who snore. Choose to lie on your back, or at least turn your head to one side.
