Is the "Return to Yang" sleeping position really healthier? How much do different sleeping positions affect your health?

Help! This sleeping position is super unhealthy and I have practiced it myself. The reason for this is that I have insomnia, and then I found this so-called Taoist "mysterious gongfu" on the Internet, and it is said that sleeping in this position can tonify the kidneys and help the yang, so that people can quickly enter into a deep sleep, and wake up with better energy, as well as alleviate the effect of menstrual cramps. So I tried to use this position to sleep a few times, I personally feel that the role of sleep aid is not great, but because of the long time to maintain this position so that the leg numbness can not move is really difficult to ...... and then call my brother, in exchange for a vicious contempt and ridicule ......

The first thing I want to say is that I'm not sure if I can do this, but I'm sure I can do it. p>

First of all, the so-called Yang lying this position, some similar to our clinical hip imaging ("big crotch" filming) when the action - frog position. Frog position is to let the patient lying on his back, legs bent at the knee 45 degrees, and as far as possible outward extension, affixed to the bed, the whole posture is like a frog on his back, so it is called the frog position.

When the patient is lying on his back, his hip joints are flexed, abducted and externally rotated, which means that his hips are in a state of "nesting".

Short time is not a problem, but long time in this state, such as keep this position to sleep, not only can not play a role in relaxation, but because of the femoral head and acetabulum between the pressure increases and cause cartilage or labral injury, the hip joint around the nerve and blood vessels are in the state of flexion and pulling, will result in nerve paralysis, lower limbs, blood circulation is impeded, and other pathological changes.

That is to say, a long time to keep the "return to the sun lying" will make the "big crotch" injury, so don't use this position to sleep.

"Returning to the sun lying" posture is a Chinese medicine of a health action, the Internet rumors of God, true God put aside, first of all, it is clear that it is not suitable to become a sleeping posture.

For health, sleeping position is very important.

Lying flat position:? Lying flat is one of the most respected sleeping positions, which allows the body to be in a natural state of relaxation and also reduces the pressure on the cervical spine and spine.

Side Lying Position:? The side-lying position is also a good choice, with relatively little stress on the joints. In addition, you can choose to bend your legs upward a little bit (with a soft pad in the back of the knee socket), which can reduce the pressure on the knees and hip joints.

Sleeping on your stomach position:? Sleeping on your stomach is a sleeping position that is more likely to lead to compression of the cervical and lumbar spine, and is not recommended.

Curled posture: this sleeping position is equivalent to keeping a low head and bending posture for a long time, which is easy to lead to cervical and lumbar vertebrae straightening, and is not recommended.

Overall, lying flat and lying on the side are the most joint-friendly sleeping postures, but each person's situation is different, and choosing the right sleeping posture for you needs to be based on the specifics of the situation, such as whether or not there is a problem with the cervical spine or lumbar spine, and whether or not there is a respiratory disorder.

Whether you are lying on your side or sideways, maintaining a position for a long time is not good for your health.

Most people find it difficult to control their sleeping position after they fall asleep, and usually change positions. Therefore, choosing a soft and firm mattress and a pillow of the right height, and maintaining a correct and healthy posture before falling asleep are especially crucial, as these factors are controllable.

Correctly interpreting or trying to use a "rejuvenation sleeper" may bring benefits to some people, but over-interpreting or using it incorrectly can be counterproductive.
