Sleeping Positions And Their Effects On Your Health

Log position

While sleeping in this posture, you lie on your side with both arms positioned downward in a straight line. It is advised to sleep on your left side to better rest your vital organs.

Pros:

• Ideal sleeping position for the spine as it receives complete support in its natural curve.
• Prevents back and neck pain.
• Reduces sleep apnea and snoring.
• This is the best sleeping position for pregnant women.

Cons:

• As your top leg does not get enough support, the chances are high that you may develop back or hip pain.
• Side sleeping can lead to skin aging, facial wrinkles, and sagging breasts.
• In some cases, it can even cause neck pain.

Solutions:

• As this position can cause neck pain due to improper support to the neck, it is recommended to use a big pillow.
• Place a pillow between your thighs to support your top leg.
