The Best Sleeping Positions

Doctors advise adults to get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night because it's so important for mental and physical health. Reaction times, decision-making, and emotional state are all impacted by sleep. On the other hand, getting a good night's sleep can be difficult if you have back pain. Those who experience back pain should avoid sleeping postures that strain their neck, back, or hips. The ideal sleeping position will maintain the spine's natural curve and align the head and neck.

Positions: 

• Lying on your side in a fetal position

• Lying on your back in a reclined position

• Lying on your side with a pillow supporting your knees

• Lying on your stomach with a pillow below your pelvis and lower abdomen

• Lying flat on your back with a pillow underneath your knees
