What are your sleeping positions?

You have to take into consideration the position of your inner organs, the spine, the head and your limbs when choosing a sleeping position. The loading of the spinal vertebrae is determined by gravity, the position of the vertebrae and the pressure of the organs around the spinal canal. Altogether the biggest amount of pressure is when standing (100%). Then comes lying on the stomach (90%), and then lying on your back (80%). Lying on the side causes the least overloading (only 50%). In the world of animals, those with a vertebrae lie on their sides by instinct in 99% of the cases.

Your right lung consists of 3 lobes, the left one has 2 lobes, since the bigger part of the human heart is on the left side of the chest. So sleep on your right side, because this way your heart won't have unnecessary pressure on it.

Forget about a big pillow, from now on use only two little pillows. Sleep on your right side, put one pillow between your knees and the other one under your head. Your arms should be in front of you, in a bent position.

This sleeping position discharges the spine, the heart and the lungs totally therefore it is the best basic condition for sleeping!

While sleeping your body mostly remains in the same position in which you began, therefore after lying on your back (in the corpse pose) turn on the right side of your body. You can naturally sleep on your left side, but avoid sleeping on your abdomen or back!
