If you go out there and ask people what constitutes a healthy lifestyle, they will most like suggest that having an health diet plus exercise is th way to a better health. Many people don’t consider adequate sleep as an important aspect of healthy-living.
Especially if you're dealing with lower back pain. You're not alone. The Global Burden of Disease study named lower back pain problem resulting from poor sleep as the leading cause of disability across the globe... What’s even more interesting is that most back pain isn’t caused by serious medical conditions or arthritis. Instead, it’s often brought on by stress or strain from bad posture, awkward sleeping positions, and other lifestyle habits.
Unfortunately, the position that you find most comfortable might end up causing health problems, ranging from aches to sleep apnea. Learn about the pros and cons of common ways to sleep, and discover easy tips on making each position a little bit better for you.
WebMD states the following:
If you have a herniated disk, you may want to try sleeping on your side curled in a fetal position:
- Lay on your back and then roll over gently onto your side.
- Tuck your knees toward your chest and gently curl your torso toward your knees.
- Remember to switch sides from time to time to prevent any imbalances.
