Solutions for back sleepers

As a rule, back sleeping is considered to be the best for spinal alignment, along with other benefits. That is definitely not to say everyone SHOULD be sleeping on their back. Let’s talk about the benefits as well as potential downsides of sleeping on your back. In this blog please check out my suggested links to improve not only your quality of sleep but your quality of life as well.
Benefits:

• Back sleeping promotes a neutral spine alignment.  Maintaining aligned posture while sleeping allows you to breathe at full capacity and minimizes the chances of developing aches and pains.
• Back sleeping offers the best support for people with hip and back pain. So long as you’re sleeping on a supportive mattress, lying on your back helps keep the hips elevated and aligned with the spine. This reduces pressure on the spine and supports healthy posture. Additionally, this position doesn’t put any pressure on the sides of the hips, which are common hot spots for people with hip pain.
• Back sleeping might reduce facial wrinkles. By sleeping on your back you eliminate the friction between facial skin and the pillowcase. This reduces wear and tear on the skin and minimizes your skin’s exposure to pore-clogging facial oils and sweat, all of which can support a dewy complexion.

Downsides:
Even though back sleeping has a lot to offer, it’s not the best sleep position for everyone. Folks who fall into any of the following categories will probably want to steer clear of this position.

• People with acid reflux Back sleeping could aggravate acid reflux symptoms because this position makes it harder for the esophageal sphincter muscle to relax. When that muscle is tensed, it could provoke symptoms.
• People who have sleep apnea or snoring problems. If you snore, sleeping on your back will aggravate the snoring as well as the person your sleeping next to. Many snorers find their symptoms go away when they switch to sleeping on their side.
• Pregnant people (especially in the third trimester). In general, it’s recommended that pregnant people sleep on their side. Side sleeping best supports circulation and reduces pressure on the veins and internal organs. In contrast, back sleeping while pregnant could cause backaches, trouble breathing, digestive issues, and other concerns.
