Getting your rest is vital for good health. Most people need 6-8 hours of sleep daily. The sleeping position is important for proper spinal function. Almost everyday we will treat a patient with a very stiff and painful neck due to sleeping incorrectly.
The best position to sleep is on your side in a slight fetal position. If you are sitting up straight in a neutral position in a chair and they froze you and then layed you on your side, you would be in the correct sleeping position. A good pillow that keeps your neck level and arms crossed on your chest will add to a good nights rest. Sleeping on your back is also allowed, but never on your stomach.
Ask a Healthfirst Doctor to check your sleeping posture.
