Thread: Sleeping Positions?

It is not a physiologically ideal position. it places undo stress on your whole spine if you sleep with one leg cocked to the side thru misalignment. I have seen lots of complications to this sleeping pattern as I work in the health care industry.

I tend to sleep on my side mostly- starting on my right side and alternating throughout the night.

I heard sleeping on your stomach is actually bad for your back, is this true?

Yeah i heard that too. What i heard was about the position you should let the babies sleep. They say that stomach is bad for the spine and that the best position is on the back. Don't have any solid cientific info about this, just heard it from somewhere so dunno if it is right.

I sleep on my sides, I always start facing to the right, then after 10ish minutes, go to the left. I believe that that is USUALLY it of my turning, if I'm in my bed and am not having "I can't fall asleep" issues.

On my left side with normal sleeping
On my back when WILDing

I sleep on my right side or my stomach with my head to the left. I prefer to keep myself pointed towards the wall and not the room. Keeps normal objects from being linked into my dreams during HH and right as I wake up. I would sleep on my back more often but it causes me to snore and I hate snoring lol.

And about the stomach sleeping being bad for your back. I go to the chiropractor because of a neck injury from a car accident and he has said on more than one occasion that sleeping on your stomach is bad for the curvature of the spine. Not just because of my neck but in general.

I always start on my back, I find that it's the best way for me to relax/release any tension - I guess that's because there isn't many pressure points. But to sleep, I always end up on my side, it's almost as if that's the only position I can fall to sleep in.

I sleep in every one BUT the fetus

i sleep on my stomach with my hands on my stomach, like "hugging" myself.

or i'll sleep on my side while hugging a pillow.
