Have you ever noticed that your back is aching right after you wake up in the morning? Then you remember, that oh no it’s because of the bad position. For the poor posture leading to orthopedic issues like lower back pain or neck pain, standing posture, or sitting position probably come to mind. Your body’s posture during sleep can hurt your spinal column — and other body parts, too the posture we hold during sleep is sustained for numerous hours at a time. If something in the body is curved, wound, closed under another body part, or held at a strange angle, it can stay that way for far, far longer than it would when you’re awake.

If you’re not positioned in a way that keeps your spine aligned and relaxed, you may be putting excess weight or strain on different parts of the back.

 Have you ever thought what’s the reason behind your stiffness, soreness, and pain in your arms, back, soldiers:-

• Sleep positio
• Sleeping on your abdomen with your head bent to one side is a method for neck pressure. But sleeping in any position can be a problem if your neck isn’t sufficiently supported.

• Pillow option

If your pillow is too huge or too low, too thick, or too thin, your head will bend away from the neutral spine position. Finding the right pillow can be hard. Some people prefer memory foam because it forms to the head and neck, giving support where you need it most.

• Weak or tight muscles

If you don’t stretch often or if you keep your shoulders and head in a fixed, unnatural position during the day, you may maybe be bringing that stress to bed at night. Stretching, strengthening, and massage may help you to re-balance your body and loosen up in the neck and shoulders. It’s difficult to achieve a neutral spine in sleep if you can’t achieve it when you’re awake.

• Other issues

Neck pain can also be caused by other orthopedic conditions like muscle strain, osteoarthritis of the cervical spine, or a slipped disc. Seeing an orthopedic physician can help to determine whether you have another issue that may be contributing to a pain flare-up when you sleep. 

When you are asleep, your body is at rest. Your spine and other joints are not bearing any weight. This should not cause pain. If you have backache when you sleep (most commonly, lower back pain), chances are it’s caused by something other than your sleep position. You may have an underlying issue like osteoarthritis of the spine, a slipped or herniated disc, sciatica. For most people, though, daytime posture and lifestyle is a huge contributor. Back strains from carrying heavy objects, for example, can strain muscles and ligaments. Holding an awkward body position when driving, sitting at a desk, or standing and walking can also lead to muscle tension or weakness on one side of the body.

As with neck pain, it’s important to sleep in an optimal position — but also to choose the right mattress and the right pillow, and to use extra pillows or bolsters if necessary.
