Women are more upset when the posture is wrong at sensitive moments

Sleep is very important for women, especially during those days. Poor sleep during menstruation will make you feel worse, have weaker stress resistance, and look more haggard. There are many reasons that lead to decreased sleep quality during menstruation, and improper sleeping posture is one of the most harmful "murderers"! In order to reduce the chance of menstrual blood leakage at night and physical discomfort, many women adopt incorrect sleeping positions such as curling up or lying prone during menstruation. However, these improper sleeping positions will aggravate the discomfort during menstruation and even lay the hidden dangers of female diseases.

Improper sleeping position 1: lying prone

In order to prevent side leakage and back leakage, some women simply sleep in a prone position. However, this sleeping position can add extra stress to your joints and muscles, and can also irritate your nerves. Upon waking up, menstrual symptoms such as headache, abdominal pain, and back pain will become worse.

Improper sleeping position 2: curled up

Many women experience abnormal back pain during their menstrual period. In addition to fatigue, mental stress and other reasons, curled up sleeping position may also be an important cause of back pain. To relieve abdominal discomfort, many women sleep in a curled-up fetal position during their menstrual period. But in fact, this sleeping position can cause damage to the lumbar and cervical spine, cause muscle tension, and aggravate the symptoms of lower back and abdominal pain during menstruation. In addition, sleeping in a curled up position may cause poor blood circulation, which is not conducive to the smooth discharge of menstrual blood.

Recommended sleeping position: right side

Lying on the right side is conducive to smooth blood circulation, normal functioning of various organs in the body, adequate blood supply and conducive to the outflow of menstrual blood. Therefore, sleeping on the right side is the best sleeping position for women during menstruation.

It is not difficult to sleep soundly and peacefully during your menstrual period. The following tips can help you get a good sleep during your menstrual period.

1. Choose the right sanitary napkin for night use

If the breathability and leakage-proof ability of nighttime sanitary napkins are not good enough, you will be surrounded by tension, worry and discomfort throughout the night. How can you have a good sleep? Choose a night sanitary napkin that is highly breathable, soft, and leak-proof. It can keep you dry during the long night and prevent bacteria from breeding and causing harm to your body. The faster absorption speed can also prevent menstrual blood from overflowing and prevent side leakage and back leakage. More importantly, it can help you put aside your psychological burden and make your sleep during menstruation more peaceful.

2. Adjust the sound and light in the bedroom

Light and sound are important factors that affect sleep. Using an eye mask during menstruation can block out light and reduce the interference of light on sleep. Some eye masks are filled with lavender, which has soothing aromatherapy properties and can improve sleep quality during menstruation. Lowering the lighting brightness two hours before bedtime can stimulate the secretion of sleep hormones in the body and induce natural sleep.

3. Improve blood circulation

Pay attention to keeping your feet warm: The feet are the part of the body farthest from the heart and are more likely to become cold due to insufficient blood supply, which directly affects the quality of sleep. If you want to keep your feet warm, a foot bath before bed is a good way. Soaking your feet in hot water half an hour before going to bed can not only promote blood circulation and relieve dysmenorrhea, but also regulate body temperature and relax nerves, allowing you to relax your whole body and mind and fall asleep quickly.

Wearing loose pajamas: Clothing that is too tight will affect the menstrual blood discharge from the endometrium, causing blood stagnation and affecting sleep quality. Fabrics with poor breathability and soft texture will rub against the skin and increase discomfort. Therefore, you should pay attention to the choice of pajamas during menstruation. Experts suggest that it is best to wear pajamas made of natural materials and loose design.
