“Which sleeping position is the best for everyone?”
ask:
“Which position allows me to breathe comfortably, maintain good alignment, and wake up without pain?”
Try these simple adjustments:
If you sleep on your back:
Use a supportive pillow and consider placing a pillow under your knees if it feels comfortable.
If you sleep on your side:
Keep your neck aligned and consider placing a pillow between your knees.
If you sleep on your stomach:
Try gradually transitioning toward side sleeping if you experience persistent neck or back discomfort.
If you snore:
Side sleeping may be worth trying, but persistent loud snoring or breathing pauses should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
If you’re caring for a baby:
Always place the baby on their back on a firm, flat sleep surface with no loose bedding or soft objects.
