Why It Is Bad To Sleep On Your Stomach

Sleeping on your stomach is a poor sleeping posture that is detrimental to your spine. Sleeping on your stomach creates pressure on the spine as you are forced to tilt your head to the side which doesn't make the spinal cord to be aligned. If you sleep on your stomach and make use of a pillow at the same time, your neck will be pushed higher than the rest of the spine which may result in pain.
Sleeping on your back or on your side is the best ways to achieve a good sleeping posture as your spine is well aligned in these positions. Although, sleeping on your back is the most preferred sleeping position as your spine is well aligned and it also allows the free flow of air in and out of the lungs.
If you are sleeping on your back, it is advisable to place a pillow underneath your knees so as to perfectly place your spine in an aligned position. And if you are sleeping on your side, place a pillow in between your thigh so as to keep your hips aligned and to prevent you from twisting in order to rest your knee on the bed.
I also have a habit of sleeping n my stomach, which I need to change. I feel sleeping on the sides especially left is the correct posture.
Sleeping on the side and on your back is the correct posture. Doesn't really matter if it is on the left or right. Thanks for stopping by
