Traditional sleeping cartoon

Nearly one-third of a person's life is spent in sleep, which shows the importance of sleep to everyone. If you want to have a good sleep quality, a good sleeping position is essential. The wrong sleeping position will not only affect the quality of sleep, but also increase the burden on the body, which is more likely to cause diseases in severe cases.

Sleep posture and health In people's sleep, the common sleep postures can be roughly summarized as supine posture and lateral posture, including left and right supine posture, fetal posture, pillow arm posture, prone posture and so on. Among them, supine sleeping position is one of the most common sleeping positions. People who sleep usually sleep with their bellies up and their bodies and lower limbs straight. Although this sleeping position generally does not oppress the internal organs, it is very easy to put your hands on your chest unconsciously, which is easy to make people have nightmares because of cardiopulmonary compression.

Left horizontal sleeping posture and healthy sleeper's left arm is placed under the body, and the posture with slightly flexed legs is left horizontal sleeping posture, and the posture with slightly flexed legs is right horizontal sleeping posture. Sleeping on the side is easy to relax the human body and eliminate fatigue better, especially sleeping on the left side is more conducive to the sleep of pregnant women and maternal and child health.

Correct horizontal sleeping posture A healthy and correct horizontal sleeping posture is also beneficial to the heart from being oppressed and the body's better blood circulation. However, sleeping on the side is also easy to make people fall asleep, leading to unstable sleep. After a woman is pregnant, the doctor will also remind her not to sleep on her side as much as possible, which will affect the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus.

Fetal sleeping position A healthy fetal sleeping position refers to the sleeping position in which the sleeper keeps his body curled up and touches the pillow while sleeping, just like a fetus. This kind of sleeping position can make people's whole body muscles in a relaxed state, thus helping to relieve fatigue. But sleeping in this position for a long time is easy to cause or aggravate neck pain and headache, leading to hunchback.

Pillow-arm sleep and healthy pillow-arm sleep, as the name implies, are to sleep with your arm resting on your head and use your arm as a pillow. Because this sleeping position will make the arm stay in a static state for a long time, it will be oppressed by the head and neck, which will easily cause compressive damage to the radial nerve of the upper arm, thus leading to paralysis of the forearm, wrist, fingers and other parts. After marriage, men like to hug their lovers when they sleep. This sleeping position will lead to the problem of poor blood flow in men's arms. Moreover, because a woman's head can't lie completely on the pillow, it may be suspended. When you wake up, some women may have a stiff neck.

Prone sleeping position and healthy prone sleeping position, that is, the sleeper's body bends down, the abdomen faces down, and his hands stretch over his shoulders. People usually call this posture "sleeping on your stomach". Lying prone can easily increase the pressure on the heart and lungs and affect people's breathing. Patients with heart disease, hypertension, cerebral thrombosis and other diseases should avoid choosing this sleeping position. Sometimes I accidentally fall asleep on my stomach, and my family will help me correct it.

Conducive to men's sleeping position. Compared with women, it is more favorable for men to choose the sleeping posture of lying on the right side and lying on their back. Lying on the right side will neither oppress the heart nor male reproductive organs, but also relax the muscles of the body, thus better relieving the fatigue of the body. However, it should be noted that when lying on the right side, you should avoid pinching the genitals between your legs to avoid accidents, such as testicular torsion.

In contrast, supine sleeping position is the most favorable sleeping position for men. When sleeping in supine position, the legs are naturally separated, which can prevent the heart and reproductive organs from being oppressed, not only reduce the pressure on the heart and avoid accidental injury to the reproductive organs, but also obtain sufficient activity space, which can effectively dissipate heat and promote better blood circulation, especially beneficial to the health of male reproductive system.

Sleeping position conducive to women's health Most women choose to sleep on the left, and some women may choose to sleep on their backs. In fact, these two sleeping positions are also the most beneficial to women's health. It's just that women may wear underwear when they sleep. Wrapping underwear for a long time will bring more sense of bondage, and blood circulation will be blocked, which may lead to lack of oxygen in the brain and make it difficult to sleep well.

You don't have to wear underwear to sleep at home. The wrapping of underwear is relatively strong, and the male scrotum is in a humid environment, which will lead to the weakening of sperm vitality. Because of women's own physiological reasons, wearing underwear for a long time is more likely to cause gynecological diseases. If you take off your underwear, you will sleep better.
