Do you know what the best position for sleeping is??

The position in which you sleep at night can cause back pain, neck pain or other discomfort. Altering your position in bed can reduce these symptoms and help you get a great night of sleep. 

Laying on your back is one of the best positions for restful sleep. When on your back, it is easy for your spine, head and neck to maintain a neutral position. No extra curves are forced on the back, and acid reflux may reduced by the position. However, people who snore may do so more often when sleeping on their backs. Overall, the back position is best for sleeping, but the side position takes second place. This position elongates the spine and reduces snoring. It can also reduce acid reflux, but not as well as sleeping on the back. The worst position for sleeping is on the stomach. Sleeping in this position can lead to excess pressure on the muscles and joints, causing numbness, pain and tingling.
