Correct sleeping posture for girls

In life, many people pay special attention to their sleeping posture when they sleep, especially for some women who are in adolescence and are growing and developing. If the sleeping posture is not correct, it will not only cause their spine to bend, but also put a certain amount of pressure on their breast development. If they often sleep on their stomachs, it is likely that their breasts will develop into outward expansion. So what is the correct sleeping posture for girls?

Many people think that as long as you are comfortable when sleeping, you don’t need to pay too much attention to your sleeping posture. There are four types of sleeping positions, and the choice of sleeping position varies from person to person. Especially for people suffering from certain diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stomach and liver, they should pay more attention to choosing the correct sleeping position, otherwise it will not only affect the quality of sleep, but also aggravate the disease. At the same time, the doctor also introduced the advantages and disadvantages of the four sleeping positions. You can choose the corresponding sleeping position according to your physical condition.

1. Supine

It is understood that 60% of people choose to sleep on their backs, which is also the best sleeping position recommended by doctors. Advantages: No pressure on the internal organs. Disadvantages: It can easily cause the root of the tongue to fall and block breathing. Not suitable for people who snore or have respiratory diseases.

2. Prone

5% of people choose to sleep on their stomachs. Advantages: Doctors point out that people who adopt this sleeping position will feel safe when sleeping, and it also helps to expel foreign objects from the mouth; it is also beneficial for people with lumbar problems. Disadvantages: It compresses the heart and lungs and affects breathing. People with heart disease, high blood pressure, and cerebral thrombosis should not choose to lie prone.

3. Lie on your left side

Doctors believe that this sleeping position can easily cause people to toss and turn while sleeping, resulting in unstable sleep. Moreover, since the human heart is located on the left side of the body, sleeping on the left side will compress the heart, so it is a very unhealthy sleeping position. Advantages: None Disadvantages: Compresses the heart and stomach. It is especially difficult for patients with stomach problems, acute liver diseases, and gallstones to sleep on the left side.

4. Lying on the right side

25% of people sleep on their right side. Advantages: It does not put pressure on the heart and provides a stable sleep. Disadvantages: Affects the movement of the right lung and is not suitable for patients with emphysema.

Many people wake up feeling dizzy, backache, and exhausted. The main reason is improper sleeping posture.

Sleeping on your back is the most common sleeping position. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this sleeping position "corpse sleeping". With this sleeping position, the body and lower limbs can only be fixed in a straight position, which cannot achieve the purpose of full body rest. When the intra-abdominal pressure increases, lying on your back can easily cause people to feel chest tightness and suffocation. Lying on your back like this will cause you to consciously or unconsciously place your hands on your chest, which will put pressure on your heart and lungs and make you prone to nightmares.

When lying prone, most of the body weight is pressed on the ribs and abdomen, which puts pressure on the chest and diaphragm, affects breathing, and increases the burden on the heart. Sleeping prone also increases the curvature of the lumbar spine, causing compression of the facet joints at the back of the spine. When lying prone, the neck has to be twisted sideways to tilt the head to one side, which can easily cause damage to the neck muscles.

When lying on your left side with your legs slightly bent, although it helps to relax your body and eliminate fatigue, the heart is located between the left and right lungs in the chest cavity and is biased to the left. The exits of the stomach to the duodenum and the small intestine to the large intestine are all on the left side. Therefore, when lying on your left side, not only the heart is squeezed, but also the gastrointestinal tract is compressed, and gastric emptying is slowed down.
