Are You Sleeping Wrong? This Position Could Ruin Your Spine

Most people never think about how they sleep at night. But here is the truth that doctors are finally telling patients: the way you sleep could be destroying your spine and hurting your health.

Sleeping on your stomach is the worst position for your back. Your spine gets twisted out of its natural shape all night long. This is not something that happens over years, either, it starts happening right away.

When you sleep on your stomach, your neck has to twist to one side so you can breathe. Your neck stays twisted like this for eight hours or more every single night. This puts huge stress on the delicate bones and muscles in your neck.

Your spine starts to sag and flatten when you sleep on your stomach. This puts crazy pressure on your discs and nerves. The result is tingling, numbness, and pain that wakes you up feeling broken in the morning.

People who sleep on their stomachs get more headaches and stiffness. Some even develop wrinkles on their face from pressing into the pillow all night. Your shoulders start to hurt too because of how twisted everything becomes.

The scary part is that most Americans have no idea this is happening to them. They just think that morning pain is normal and part of getting older. But it is not normal, and it does not have to happen to you.

The good news is that you can fix this starting tonight. Sleep on your back or side instead and use a pillow under your head and another under your hips. Your spine will thank you within just a few days.

Take control of your health and change your sleeping position now. Do not wait for the pain to get worse. Share this with everyone you love so they can protect their spines too.
