What is the right way to sleep, in which position to sleep? Pillow or not? Learn

Stanford University researcher William Dement has given a concrete explanation for sleep. He has done research on sleep. After many years of research, he has given his opinion about different types of sleep. What is the right way to sleep, whether to turn or not, he has told everything.

Charlotte: After 50 years of research, noted Stanford University sleep researcher William Dement has reportedly offered the only solid explanation for why we sleep, saying that the only known reason why we sleep is "because we sleep". '. Sleep and sleep may be the subject of research, but there is no doubt that it is important for our health and well being. But are we getting enough sleep? What does the research say about sleeping positions?

Most people like to sleep on their side. This is good to hear, because people who lie on their backs are more likely to have poor sleep or have difficulty breathing at night. In most cases, we turn around a lot during the night. A study of an average of 664 sleepers found that participants spent about 54 percent of their time sleeping on their side, about 37 percent sleeping on their back, and about 7 percent lying upright.

Men have the most restlessness during sleep.

Men (especially those under the age of 35) have the most restlessness during sleep, and they frequently switch sides, and make movements in the arms, thighs, and upper body. This isn't a bad thing, as it's generally a good idea to keep your body moving during the night. During sleep, your body will monitor any pain or discomfort and adjust the position accordingly.

Get a bigger bed

if you can't move If you find that you can't move because your partner (or dog) is taking up too much space in the bed, consider switching sides or getting a bigger bed. And don't keep yourself in one place; Give yourself some room to keep rolling on both sides. Being comfortable is important. There is no quality research providing clear evidence for the position in which maximum restful sleep comes from. Your age, weight, environment, activities and whether you are pregnant all play a part in which sleeping position is best for your body.

Choose the right pillow for good sleep

Choosing the right pillow is very important for a good sleep. Lack of proper head and neck support during sleep severely affects spinal alignment, and causes muscle problems such as neck pain, shoulder pain, and muscle stiffness. Obviously, the pillow material does not affect the spine. Instead, its size and height matter. A U-shaped pillow can help you get a longer night's sleep, and a roll-shaped pillow can ease morning pain and bedtime pain in people with chronic pain.

Which is the best mattress

Unfortunately, science hasn't given us the answer as to what is the best mattress. With everyone sleeping differently, it will be hard to compare over the long term. However, a bad mattress is when your bed isn't flat or comfortable, is squeezing out of place, has lost its firmness, the springs in the mattress make a noise, or there are obvious signs of wear and tear. Consider replacing the mattress. Rotating the mattress can also help with its longevity and improve comfort. This should be done at least once to twice per year.

Go to the toilet before sleeping,

set the temperature of the room. The ideal temperature for sleep is 18.3 ° C; High temperatures can affect sleep. Make arrangement for the movement of air in the room. This arrangement brings in nice, fresh air as well as removes any accumulated heat, making us feel good and cool at night. Certain medications, such as some types of antihistamines, can make it easier to fall asleep. On the other hand, stimulants like caffeine can significantly affect the quality of your sleep. Lastly, make sure your bladder is empty while you sleep so that you don't have to wake up at night.
