We all know that beauty sleep, generally speaking, sleeping before 11 o’clock can be called beauty sleep, and sleeping well is not only good for spirit but also for skin. But there is also a kind of beauty sleep that makes people uglier. Do you know what the reason is? Because my sleeping posture is wrong!
serious consequences of four bad sleeping positions
sleep on your side – wrinkles deepen
This sleeping posture is conducive to maintaining the normal physiological curve of the spine, reducing the pressure on the back and neck, and reducing sleep apnea. But lying on one’s side will lead to excessive pressure on the eyes, nose and lips, aggravating smile lines and crow’s feet. The effect of gravity will also make the muscles of the chest and face droop.
curl up – bend down hunchback
Many people are used to curl up like babies when they sleep. Although it will make people feel comfortable temporarily, it will bring pressure to the back and head and neck over time, resulting in habitual hunchbacks. At the same time, breathing will be affected during sleep, which may lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. We should try to avoid sleeping like this for a long time.
sleeping on the stomach – spinal deformation
This sleeping posture is not good for spine health. Because when lying on the stomach, the physiological curvature of the spine cannot be fixed and supported by the bed, which may cause low back pain, distortion and deformation. If you sleep face down, your skin will rub and squeeze with the pillow, resulting in skin dehydration or increased wrinkles, and also affecting breathing. In addition, sleeping on the stomach will also bring more pressure to the neck.
hands up – stiff shoulders
This kind of “surrender” sleeping posture has both advantages and disadvantages. Lying on your back can prevent wrinkles and pimples caused by the contact between your face and the pillow, but lifting your hands up will pull the shoulder muscles and compress the shoulder nerves for a long time. People with shoulder pain symptoms should avoid sleeping like this.
So, what kind of sleeping posture is the correct posture for beauty sleep?
The best sleeping position is half side lying, that is, the body and the bed maintain an inclination angle of 30 ° ~ 40 °, which can not only ensure the blood circulation of the whole body, relax the body and mind, but also avoid squeezing the face and causing wrinkles. If you are not used to half lying on your side, you can use a quilt or a small pillow to cushion your waist, back and buttocks, or use a soft silk pillowcase to adopt a full lying position to reduce facial compression.
