Sleep quality can be improved by avoiding prone and sideline sleeping positions to prevent discomfort and pain in the neck, shoulders, and back. Maintaining loose pack joints and a neutral spine position during sleep is essential for overall health and well-being.
Insights
- Sleeping on the stomach (prone position) can lead to neck and shoulder pain, affecting circulation and causing headaches due to improper alignment.
- Maintaining a neutral spine position during sleep and using pillows to support the shoulder can alleviate discomfort and prevent pain in common areas such as the neck, shoulders, and back.
