Unbelievable. According to experts, there's not a single position that safe to sleep in. Doesn't matter what the position is, i can find an expert that says it's dangerous and wrong.
@@themacocko6311 that's not true. Side sleeping or modified fowlers are really effective. Flat stomach / back are the only positions that are contraindicated for breathing and circulation. It's not about sleep experts, it's about mattress manufactures that have (incorrectly) sold "spine posture" as the goal.
@@YOGABODY.Official sleeping on your back as long as you’re doing it correctly there’s nothing wrong with it. There is many benefits I do it it’s comfortable it’s easy and still good for your health.
@@YOGABODY.OfficialI actually sleep quite a lot on my back since I found out how to do it "properly". Right pillow height for the neck, with support on the neck and another small pillow (or folded towel/blanket) under my back(supporting the Arch) and one more under my legs above the knees (lifting them slightly). That way I manage to sleep like a log (and no breathing issues). For side sleeping. A higher pillow (same conditions). A pillow also below the body (between the hip and 1st floating rib). A pillow between the knees. A pillow between the ankles. That doesn't contradict what you said, but can be a way to deal with some of the issues and help the body . 🙏 Pls feel free to explain what I just said with better words! 😂🤣🤭 Thanks for your great work! 🙏
Actually sleeping on your back is best, but a lot of people can't breathe in this position because of their pillow, posture (mouth breathing), or their craniofacial anatomy. If you are actually optimizing for health, the correct recommendation should be to address the underlying issues that makes sleeping on your back not ideal for you.
I listened to every doctor who told me not to sleep a certain way. Thats why I now hang upside down from the ceiling like a bat when I sleep. Thanks, doctors!
Sleeping on your back is unnatural. Many studies observing the sleeping positions of different primates and tribes have shown that humans and primates instinctively sleep on their side. Also, if you fall asleep on your back, you don’t stay on your back the whole night, so there isn’t much point in trying to fall asleep on your back (you’ll roll around while sleeping to prevent blood clots). Although I do agree that facial structure plays a big role in sleep apnea.
I heard don’t sleep side ways, don’t sleep on your stomach and don’t sleep on your back? What type of sleeping position should we be sleep in then? Upside down 😭
Personal anecdote! Back sleeping has actually benefitted me, although was tough to transition to for the same reasons explained in this video. I grew up sleeping on my stomach as it felt the most comfortable. Back sleeping was a whole new world for me. But after some nights of bad sleep, my body adjusted to the new position and I actually wake up feeling better. 1) I use to wake up feeling really sore. Especially around my neck and shoulders. At the beginning of back sleeping, it didn’t get any better, but after a few months, it did subside as my body adjusted. 2) I had mild sleep apnea, waking up once in a while catching my throat close up on me in the middle of the night. And once I started back sleeping, didn’t get any better as well. Obviously with time, and doing things like mouth taping and learning how to mew, my airway has opened more allowing me to sleep nice and sound on my back. This has now also led to better breathing throughout the day as well.
I don't go to a chiropractor but i have terrible back pain and posture issues from sleeping on my stomach, but i don't snore or have breathing issues. Sleeping on your back does the exact opposite so if you have back issues like we do, adjust to sleeping on your back. If you have breathing problems, adjust to sleeping on your stomach
@protect_trans_lives yeah that's true, often they "fix" things but actually some bones aren't made for that amount of pressure and it might temporarily relieve pain but it causes further problems later on
@@gamerxarmymultistanbones are literally made for hard surfaces to sleep on so they strengthen by that plus tiny muscles too. We live in an over-cushioned world making us too soft and our bodies sensitive when they try to sell us everything for “our well being” yet it’s only causing us more issues for wannabe comfort. Search floor/no mattress sleeping or Japanese sleeping and make your opinion, it’s a highly interesting topic! Peace :)
True, sleeping on your back does cause sleep paralysis but there’s a way to avoid it. The trick is to not have your arms resting on top of your torso while you sleep, like mummies have them crossed over the chest, stomach, or abdomen. Instead you have to keep them on your sides, parallel to your torso or extended away from your body so that they are not putting pressure on your organs while you sleep because this is what contributes to the paralysis.
This is clip from a longer video. 0% of this is my opinion. supine sleeping ios well-documented as the worst for snoring/apnea/etc. Again, this is not an opinion being presented. PMID: 4073378
for people who are confused on how you should sleep: sleep in whatever position is most comfortable and gets you the best sleep. if you sleep better in one position than any other, sleep in that position. dont try to force yourself to sleep a different way just because other people benefit from it.
Yep I agree about the back thing. Years ago I was given a sleeping tablet by a doctor and slept on my back. Was a horrid sensation an artificial sleep that didnt refresh me once I had woken up but worse part was a sensation/possibly dream that I had stopped breathing and woke up suddenly in panic. I dont know if I did stop breathing I was slender then but asthmatic so apparently doctor should never have given me a sleeping tablet as hazardous . Since then I always sleep on a firm pillow on my side. I have never experienced any problems in that position. But recently I decided my posture needed improvement as I seem to have developed a slouch probably due to work or fact I am too heavy. Many videos say you shouldn’t sleep on side if you wish to improve this so attempting to research topic and find solutions. Think like most things in life its probably going to be multiple strategises to fix or reduce issue of poor posture. Get flexible, increase strength in key areas, loose excess weight for multiple reasons and find a good sleeping position maybe with a small knee pillow etc and also eat a healthy diet of sardines and avoid hyper processed foods. Thanks for reminding me sleeping on your back not a good idea 😊
Your plan sounds effective: combine flexibility, strength, weight management, and a healthy diet. Stick with side sleeping and support as it works for you, and adjust as needed. - YOGABODY Team
@@eliseville this can be dangerous if the person is already suffering from some kind of obstructive related sleeping problems. Instead, they should go seek professional help on the subject.
@@DS-rd8ud Yes, we should, but taping is insanely cheap and sleep studies are dramatically more expensive health investments most Americans like myself cannot even pay for. Tape is safe and can easily be released in an emergency if properly applied. It forces the nose-breathing our species evolved with even if our low-D level/poor reparative sleep in childhood left us with less than ideal oral/pharyngeal development.
for an ideal sleep you must relocate your bedroom to space. it doesn't have to be too far from earth, nothing extreme, just outside the atmosphere is fine. this helps to create an optimal zero gravity environment which will allow full fluidity, range of motion and alignment in your joints
Is good to sleep on your back, the reason why people have their air way obstructed is because their jaw is very protruded. by practicing mewing the jaw goes forward, i recommend closing the teeth.
before used to sleep on my stomach i found its not good for health ...the position thats i feel comfortable is now sleeping on my back....when sleeping on my side i experience shortage of breath n feel lk am having ploblem with my heart rate...am left with no choice doc
I have kyphosis like posture and i mouth breath sometimes and im mucussy lol . When i sleep on my back it opens my lungs. I cough up that phlem and breath better in the morning.plus i hunch less ...
on ur right side, literally the best way to sleep, the most beneficial and healthiest way.. even in Islam, our prophet Mohammad (pbuh) told us in hadeeth sahih Muslim 2710a "When you go to bed, perform ablution as is done for prayer; then lie down pn the right side"
Sleeping on your back is recommended by so many other health care professionals. I think sleeping flat on your back is the problem. You need to keep your head slightly elevated to avoid the problems he's talking about
Nope. Unless you’re fat. Sleeping on your back is the best. Bryan Johnson - 100% sleep score for six months straight, only sleeps on his back. Listen to him.
Personally I agree, sleeping on your back allows the most symmetrical way to sleep not messing up your neck and shoulders and staying awake from any muscle and joint imbalances
Sleep positions can vary in effectiveness based on individual needs. While some doctors may advise against sleeping on your back or stomach, many recommend side sleeping, especially with proper support like a pillow between your knees. The key is finding a position that maintains spinal alignment and minimizes discomfort. -YOGABODY Team
Yes exactly! But when I did my sleep study my doctor told me I had to lie on my back. I said I don’t sleep like that! I sleep prone or on side or a combo.
Bro sleeping on the stomach is wrong, sleeping side is wrong, now even sleeping on the back is wrong, then how tf am i supposed to sleep, or am i supposed to not sleep at all ???!!!
If all sleeping positions are unhealthy then why are we not inventing beds that help up sleep straight up? It would save floor space in your room and keep your body in a normal position.
Mattress marketers aren't really worried about breathing or circulation, fear of "bad posture" is easier to sell so they focus on bogus claims about fixing your spine at night.
I wanna sleep on my back to avoid getting acne. Don’t tell me about diet and lifestyle here - they are good! But I absolutely can learn to sleep in my back… so I have to go on roacutaine now to cure my acne
In Savasana, you're still awake (conscious state) and actively focusing on your breathing in this pose. In comparison to sleeping, you're unconscious and your body is automatically breathing.
All these videos you can’t sleep on your side, yo can’t sleep on your back, you can’t sleep stomach, like how tf else am I supposed to sleep like a dog 💀
Sleep on your right side Prophet muhammed a.s 1400 years ago sleeping on the right side is beneficial for circulation and puts less pressure on the heart In our time science just agreed
I hope it’s because we are missing context here, but sleeping on your back is the most healthy way to sleep given you don’t have other health problems.
@@YOGABODY.Officialwow dude only replies for praising comments 😂 how about actually telling us how to sleep? Oh no, wait we have to buy ur book first, ure gonna make profit and we will finally know that this whole thing was just an ugly clickbait, got it 🔥
Isn’t it just when sleeping on a “western” usually foamy mattress and bed with a high pillow/s, causing the head go forward? Which generally is not healthy? For floor/hard surface sleepers, the back is the best position to start with since the side is not as easy to adjust to (1 week in practisting, so I know😂)
What if i get tired of lying on my side due to pain, and I need to lie on my back to ease the pain? I do notice I snore a little bit when on my back, which awakes me, what else can I do?
How is this true? My doctor told me sleeping on my back is best for me and I feel best if I am on my back. Also when you are on your sides it’s bad for your shoulder neck and more. Laying on your back is actually the best without a pillow.
The best sleep position varies for individuals, but generally, lying on your back with a supportive pillow is recommended to maintain spinal alignment. Experiment and find what feels most comfortable for you. - YOGABODY Team
ive been training my body to sleep flat on my back without a pillow. i like it because it evens out my breathing. meaning i get to breathe subtly in that position. no over breathing
I never sleep on my back and i always sleep on my stomach but i have terrible posture and back pain so i need to start sleeping on my back. So acting like it's the same for everyone
