Lying on the Stomach – Problems with spine alignment and muscle/joint pressure
While some individuals find comfort in sleeping on their stomach, this position is generally not recommended for a restful night’s sleep. Sleeping on the stomach can cause problems with spine alignment, leading to potential back and neck pain. Furthermore, this position puts unnecessary pressure on the muscles and joints, which can lead to discomfort and stiffness upon waking up. For those who prefer stomach sleeping, using a flatter pillow and placing a pillow under the hips can help alleviate some of these issues.
