The harm of women sleeping on their backs

Good sleep is the guarantee for efficient work the next day. If you don’t get enough rest the day before, you will have a headache and weakness the next day. You may even lose interest in doing anything and feel inexplicably irritable. This is not only not conducive to work, but also to life. Sleeping posture is also very important. As a woman, it is best not to lie flat on your back as it is not good for your pelvis and uterus. It is best to sleep on your side or alternate sleeping positions.

The best sleeping position is to sleep on the right side. The head of the bed should face north-south, while the sleeping direction is better with the head facing north and the feet facing south.

1. The best sleeping position is to sleep on the right side: Many people wake up feeling dizzy, backache, and exhausted. The main reason is improper sleeping position. 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. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the correct sleeping position should be lying on your right side with your legs slightly bent. In this way, the heart is in a high position and is not compressed; the liver is in a low position and has a better blood supply, which is beneficial to metabolism; the food in the stomach is pushed towards the duodenum by gravity, which can promote digestion and absorption. At the same time, the whole body is in a relaxed state, breathing becomes even, heartbeat slows down, and the brain, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, muscles, and bones get sufficient rest and oxygen supply. Of course, for a healthy person, there is no need to be overly concerned about his sleeping posture, because overnight, people often cannot maintain a fixed posture until dawn. Most people are constantly changing their sleeping postures, which is more conducive to relieving fatigue.

2. The direction of the head of the bed and the direction of human sleeping. According to the principle of the earth's magnetic field, the bed at home should be placed in a north-south direction, and people should sleep with their heads to the north and their feet to the south. This sleeping direction is beneficial to the human body. The earth is an extremely huge magnetic field, and its magnetic lines of force come out from the North Pole, pass through the earth's surface and enter the South Pole. The bioelectric current channels of the human body are perpendicular to the direction of the earth's magnetic field lines. The magnetic force of the earth's magnetic field becomes a resistance to the bioelectric current of the human body. To restore normal operation and reach a new equilibrium state, a large amount of heat must be consumed and metabolic capacity must be improved. If things go on like this for a long time, when the body cannot get enough energy replenishment from the outside world, the circulation of Qi and blood will become abnormal and become pathological. At the same time, in order to reach a new balance, the consumed energy surrounds the bed in the form of heat, which makes the temperature rise during sleep, makes the heart irritable, and makes it difficult to fall asleep. According to this principle, people sleep with their head to the north and feet to the south, so that the magnetic lines of force can pass through the body smoothly, minimizing the interference of the earth's magnetic field.

The biological macromolecules in the human body will change from a chaotic arrangement to a directional arrangement, and the direction of the electric current in the human body, that is, the direction of blood circulation, will be parallel to the magnetic field lines of the earth. The sleeping direction conforms to the magnetic lines of force, and under the action of the magnetic field force, the Qi and blood flow smoothly. This sleeping direction can reduce metabolism, energy consumption, promote blood circulation and improve sleep quality.
