Find Out Your Best Position For A Good Night Sleep!

Have you ever considered the importance of a good sleeping posture? While you may or may not have a preference, sleeping positions can impact the quality of sleep and your overall health. Here are some benefits of different sleeping positions that you can adopt and find out which position best suit you!

• 1. Back Sleeping
  
  Sleeping on your back is one of the most common sleeping position. It is a good position for maintaining a neutral spine alignment, which can help to prevent back pain. Placing a pillow under your knees while lying flat on your back will help you avoid potential neck and back problems1. Additionally, back sleeping can reduce the risk of wrinkles and skin ageing, due to the absence of a pillow or mattress pressing against your face when you are facing upward². However, sleeping on your back might not be ideal for people with snoring and sleep apnea, especially if you are overweight or have a narrow airway2.




• 2. Side Sleeping
  
  
Side sleeping is another common sleeping position, with majority of people favouring the right side. More than 60% of people sleep on their side and especially for older adults. As we get older, the flexibility of our spine decreases² which make sleeping on the side more comfortable. As compared to back sleeping, this position can be beneficial for reducing snoring and sleep apnea, as it keeps the airways open². Additionally, side sleeping (particularly on the left side) can help alleviate acid reflux and heartburn by keeping the stomach acid in place. However, side sleeping can put pressure on the shoulders and hips, leading to discomfort and pain over time. It can also contribute to wrinkles on the face¹.

Your digestive system plays a key role in your overall health and well-being. Alternatively, if you are still facing with acid reflux ad heartburn symptoms, you can boost your gut health with LAC GASTRORX RELIEF. It is proprietary blend of Traditional Chinese herbs used to strengthen gastrointestinal function and promote optimal digestion.


• 3. Stomach Sleeping
  
  Stomach sleeping is the least common sleeping position, and it is not recommended as it can cause strain to the neck and spine and exacerbate existing back pain. However, it is also beneficial for those who snore or suffer from sleep apnea, as it keeps the airway open². If you prefer sleeping on your stomach, try using a thin pillow or no pillow at all and placing a pillow under your hips to reduce pressure on your lower back¹. You may also want to consider transitioning to a different sleeping position to improve your overall sleep quality. Having a good respiratory health can positively impact your sleep quality. When the respiratory is functioning well, it can help you to breathe easily and efficiently, which is important for getting restful sleep. Shape your health with LAC Activated Lung Protect , a combination of TCM herbs which nourishes your lungs and boosts immunity. Beneficial to individuals who are suffering respiratory issues such as sleep apnea or asthma.



• 4. The Fetal Position
  
  Fetal position is similar to sleeping on your side but with your knees curled up towards your chest and your arms wrapped around your legs which is a popular sleeping position for many people. It provides a sense of comfort and security and may be especially beneficial for those who suffer from lower back pain³. To optimize your sleep in the fetal position, try using a pillow to support your head and neck and placing a pillow between your knees to reduce pressure on your hips and lower back².
