Sleep and your health

Getting enough sleep is  important, because how
you sleep impacts on your health. So how do you
sleep?
On your back
Sleeping on your back with your arms at your side
is generally considered to be the best sleeping
position for spine and neck health as long as you
don’t use too many pillows. Buct sleeping on your
back could make you to snore more than in any
other position.
Experts say sleeping on your back may also help to
prevent facial wrinkles and skin breakouts.
Stomach
Sleeping on your stomach can improve digestion
but can put strain on the neck because you need to
turn your face sideways in order to breathe.
Sleeping face down can also cause back pain, as
the curve of the spine is not supported.
Fetal position
Sleeping  like a fetus can have you sleeping like a
baby if you typically have problems with snoring or
if you’re pregnant. This position curled up with
knees drawn up and  chin tilted down might be
comfortable but is bad for the back and can
restrict deep breathing.
Side
When you’re sleeping on your side with both arms
down, the spine is best supported in its natural
curve. This can definitely help reduce back and
neck pain while also reducing sleep apnea. But this
can contribute to acial wrinkles and sagging
breasts.
Any side sleeping can cause shoulder and arm pain
due to restricted blood flow and pressure on the
nerves, which may be worsened by having your
arms out in front.
On your right side
If you’re a side-sleeper, which side you sleep on
also makes a difference. Sleeping on the right side
can worsen heartburn while sleeping on the left
side can put strain on internal organs like the liver,
lungs, and stomach. For pregnant sleepers,
doctors advise sleeping on the left side, since this
can improve circulation to the fetus. You can get a

better night’s rest with less pain in the morning
