Sleeping positions to reduce back pain.

Blogs

Many people experience back pain upon waking up in the morning. The pain may not be severe, but it can make it uncomfortable to fall back asleep or even impossible to sleep again.

When I get out of bed to go to the bathroom, which takes about 4-5 minutes, the pain completely disappears and I feel normal again. In short, the pain only occurs when I wake up, and at other times there is no pain or any other symptoms. The pain is only in my back, across the entire lower back, something like that.

 

Work habits that increase the risk of back pain.

 

  • My job requires me to sit in front of a computer all day.

 

  • I like to sleep on my back. When I wake up, I'll be in the same position.

 

  • I don't exercise much. If I do, it's usually brisk walking or using the exercise equipment at the park.

 

  • Before bed, I usually sit on the floor to use the computer and watch TV, but I don't have a computer desk or anything because I use my laptop.

 

  • The mattress was neither too hard nor too soft.

How to adjust your sleeping position to reduce back pain.

 

🔵 Sleeping on your side: It's recommended to sleep on your side because it allows the spine to maintain its natural curve. You should slightly bend your knees and place a pillow between your legs to keep your hips aligned with your spine, preventing abnormal curvature and promoting better sleep.

 

🔵 Sleeping on your side with your arm alongside your body is one of the best positions for your spine. It keeps your body in a natural posture, helping to reduce back and neck pain, and even reducing snoring. However, sleeping on your arm for extended periods may lead to shoulder and arm pain. Therefore, it's best to change your sleeping position periodically to avoid this.

 

🔵 Side Sleeping with Bent Knees: Sleeping on your right side is a good sleeping position and can help relieve back pain, especially if you bend one knee and hug a body pillow. Bending both knees can further alleviate back pain.
