We all know the basics of healthy living—eat well, exercise, manage stress—but many forget how much sleep posture matters. “Even if you’re clocking in eight hours of sleep a night, you might wake up sore, stiff, or exhausted.” That’s a warning sign.

The Hidden Risks of Common Sleep Positions

– Stomach Sleeping: Though it may feel comfortable, it causes your neck to twist and misaligns your spine. This leads to neck pain, headaches, and lower back issues.
– Arms Overhead: Sleeping with arms above your head or under your pillow can compress nerves, making your arms feel numb or tingly. It also reduces shoulder mobility.
– Tight Fetal Position: Curling too tightly restricts breathing and strains your lower spine. A looser version is better—legs gently bent, body relaxed.

Poor sleep posture can silently damage your body night after night. The good news? Small changes make a big difference.
