The following is a plus minus some sleep position for your health according to study the experts:

1. Recovery Position


This position is called the recovery position because of common use in emergency conditions or medical emergencies. According to Professor Jim Horne of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University in England, this position can help to alleviate digestive disorders, especially acid reflux (acid reflux) and relieve respiratory tract.

The main key of this position is to tilt the body to the left. A study of patients with heartburn (a burning sensation in the stomach or chest) at the Graduate Hospital, Philadelphia, USA found that sleep on his side right to make a slower gastric acid flowing into the esophagus, so that those who sleep on your right side more often promising inconvenience.

However, this position can lead to other risks, which lead to wrinkles or wrinkles in the skin of the face because one of the face of pressure.

2. The Corpse Position

Sleeping on the position of gaze upward or placing the back of the body as the pedestal is a good choice for people with arthritis and back pain, says Sammy Margo, psychotherapist and author of Good Sleep Guide. This is because the load or weight of the body is divided evenly to all parts without applying pressure to one particular body area.

However, this position also known as the principal cause of the bad effects of snoring or snoring. Dr John Shneerson, director of the Sleep Centre at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge explained that this position will make the muscles of the jaw and tongue relaxed. As a result, jaw and throat become weakened and collapsed due to gravity. These conditions make the throat narrows, causing air turbulence and vibrations that trigger snoring.

Serious sleep disorders like sleep apnea snoring may arise from this. Throat can be completely closed so they can stop the flow of breath for about 10 seconds or even more.

"Research shows that those who sleep in this position tended to decrease oxygen levels in their blood circulation, which is certainly a concern for patients who develop heart disease and lung," said Dr David Eccleston, doctors AHI sleep problems from Birmingham, England.

Those who sleep in this position also breathe faster than who slept with other positions, so that their body tissues become starved of oxygen (deoxygenated). This can lead to other disorders such as asthma and heart disease. If this is your favorite position, make sure your head is comfortably supported by pillows, said Dominic Cheetham, a chiropractor from London. The lack of support on the neck and upper vertebrae causing tension in the neck and shoulder muscles that can trigger pain.

This sleeping position side with your knees bent legs that go up or close to the chest. This position can help to overcome injury and pain in his back.

"During the day, the spine is affected the pressure of gravity that makes a lot of pressure on the discs - the spinal cushions. During sleep, there is no pressure on his back. The water in the body interested in the discus, and helps the recovery of injuries," says Sammy Margo.

According to Sammy, sleeping on the foetal position is ideal because when the body is curved to the inside would open the spine, reducing pressure on the discs and enhance recovery. But Sammy reminded, it is important to ensure the position of the neck parallel to the entire body. In other words, make sure the pillow is not too high or too low, because this will cause tension in the muscles and nerves of the neck, which resulted in head and neck pain in the morning.

4. Position Spooning

Sleeping position by embracing this pair can increase the strength of the relationship, according to research published by the neurologist and psikolg Dr. James Coan of the U.S.. Physical touch during sleep to reduce stress both in women and men. However, this position could also make the body stiff and aggravate muscle and joint pain.

"It's important to remember that your body is constantly changing over the years. The position that once felt uncomfortable may not be valid anymore," said Sammy.

Lying on where the couple sticks to your body - either in front or rear - can cause back and shoulder pain. While sleeping on one arm or chest with your partner can make the neck out of alignment with the spine so that the trigger neck pain.

5. Position Sunbather

Sleep on his tummy to help you prevent snoring because throat muscles will not droop due to the influence of gravity. But if you are a person who often menggertakan teeth during sleep, this position is not recommended. According to Dr Mani Bhardwaj, dentists from The Smile Studios in London, when a person sleeps with tummy position the lower jaw forward will be more than the normal position. This means for those who like to bully-gnashing there will be greater pressure on the lower teeth which can lead to significant damage.

In addition, this position also has the potential to cause neurological disorders in the upper body. "When you face down, too many or too few pillows and neck position influence and membuanya not aligned with the spine. This will increase the likelihood of nerve compression, especially in people with advanced age," said Dr Eccleston.

You also have to rotate the neck to the left or right, which causes tension on one side. Nerve compression occurs when the vertebra bones back compress the nerve in the neck. The risk of this condition will increase when the spine has arthritis with age.

Dr Eccleston merekommendasikan use made of latex foam mattress or mattress spring because it can adjust to your body shape and provides protection and support is ideal for the spine.
