Is your sleep position harming your health?

Is your sleep position harming your health?

If you sleep on your stomach, then the answer is most likely yes. This unnatural position forces you to crank your head and neck dramatically to one side or the other. Rotating your head this far, and for extended periods of time puts a strain on your brain stem, spinal cord and nervous system.

The best position for your neck and spinal cord is either on your side with the correct pillow support or on your back with a thin pillow. Keeping your spine in a neutral position will ensure the best health.
