Sleep Better Tonight - Find Your Best Sleep Position
Did you know we spend a third of our lives asleep? That's about 26 years sleeping and another seven years just trying to drift off. A simple tweak to make those hours count: nail down the best sleep position on your side, back, or stomach.
For the Side Sleepers:
- Tuck a pillow between your knees and ankles. It's a game-changer for your whole-body alignment.
- Mix it up! Could you alternate which side you sleep on each night? You can start with 5 minutes and build from there.
- Ditch the squishy mattress. Your back and neck will thank you.
- No pillow between your knees? Hello, neck and back pain. Let's avoid that.
Back Sleepers, Listen Up:
- Slide a pillow under those knees. It gives a gentle lift to your pelvis - trust me, it helps.
- A firm mattress = a back sleeper's best friend.
Stomach Sleepers, We Need to Talk:
- This position? Not great for your spine.
- It's time to transition to side sleeping. It's worth the effort.
Ready to upgrade your sleep game? Start practicing your new sleep position for just 5 minutes tonight. Stick with it. Like any new habit, it's all about consistency. Sweet dreams!
