About 1 / 4-1 / 3 of a person’s life is spent in bed. Because of this, many people spend a lot of thought on the purchase and arrangement of beds, even at high prices. However, sleeping in these seemingly comfortable beds may not completely relax the body, but may cause unexpected diseases.
sleeping position: supine or lateral position is appropriate
Supine position is the most ideal sleeping posture. As long as the bed is comfortable and the limbs are kept naturally extended, it can relax the muscles of the whole body, significantly reduce the pressure in the lumbar intervertebral space, and alleviate the lumbar disc protrusion. It is the best posture for patients with lumbar disc herniation.
In the lateral position, it is generally considered that the right lateral position is better, because it will not compress the heart and affect gastrointestinal peristalsis. However, people often turn over during sleep, and even if the left side lying position will bring some slight discomfort, it can be alleviated by turning over.
Reminder:
The husband and wife should not always sleep on one side of the bed, but should change their positions from time to time, so as to avoid that their sleeping posture is relatively fixed and their limbs can not be stretched, which will lead to problems of waist and cervical vertebrae.
pillow: pay attention to shape and texture
The shape of the pillow should conform to the physiological bending of the human cervical vertebrae. When lying down, you can feel that there is a force supporting the cervical vertebrae. The neck and the pillow can be in close contact with each other, avoiding fatigue and pillow falling that are easy to occur when the neck is overhead.
When choosing a pillow, you should pay attention to the following factors: the length is 40-60cm; The height should be about the same as the fist when lying on the back, and the height should be the width of one shoulder when lying on the side; The pillow core should have certain hardness and breathability. At present, Pu shaped sponges used in some health pillows are ideal; The position of the pillow should be placed in the recess from the pillow to the neck, especially the gap behind the neck (when lying on the back) or the gap between the face and the shoulder (when lying on the side).
Reminder:
For patients with cervical spondylosis, it is necessary to check the shape of the pillow after normal sleep for a period of time, and then adjust the texture and filling of the pillow core according to the situation.
