If I ask you, do you sleep? You will think it’s pretentious – who doesn’t know how to sleep! In fact, the “sleep” refers to the sleep position, when it comes to this issue, it may not be everyone understands. I asked many patients in the clinic to sleep in what position: is it supine or side lying? The vast majority of people answered is side lying. First, poor sleep posture can also lead to cervical spondylosis So, the physiological curvature of the cervical spine is how to disappear? Most people know that a long time with the computer, work, low head work and other reasons can cause such a result, in fact, in addition to these reasons, there is an important reason – that is, the sleeping posture. Poor sleeping posture may be the cause of cervical spondylosis in many people. The author learned at the recent National Academic Conference on Spine-Related Disorders that many children’s headaches, head and neck throbbing and other symptoms may also be caused by cervical spondylosis. And the main reason why children suffer from cervical spondylosis is poor sleeping posture (such as sleeping on their stomachs). Second, the cervical spine patient’s sleeping position should emphasize the cervical spine to comply with the physiological curvature of the cervical spine for cervical spine patients, what kind of sleeping position is correct? That is to emphasize to follow the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, sleep on the back, so that the health of the cervical spine is beneficial. Moreover, the neck should be supported by pillows. In order to achieve the purpose of supporting the neck, the pillow (buckwheat pillow) shape a little bit of organization to meet the requirements of the shape of the pillow from the side to be similar to the “6” word, the height of the protruding part of the height of their fists, so that the pillow on the pillow is more comfortable. Some people are accustomed to sleeping on the side for a long time, may not be accustomed to sleep on the back at the beginning, however, as long as the practice, slowly get used to it. Third, the most common buckwheat pillow adaptability is stronger Now there are a lot of so-called “cervical health pillow”, but in fact, there is no one pillow height, type, softness for everyone, because everyone’s body shape and neck circumference are different, relatively speaking, but the most common buckwheat pillow adaptability is stronger. Fill the pillow, be careful not to fill too full, otherwise it affects its “deformation” ability, the correct method is to fill about 70% on it. Fourth, the sleep position should vary from person to person However, it should be pointed out that not all people are suitable for supine sleep, sleep apnea syndrome, pregnant women (especially pregnant women with large gestational months) should not sleep on their backs. For the elderly, when sleeping on the back, the root of the tongue and the soft tissues of the throat are very easy to relax, may block the airway, breathing difficulties, resulting in oxygen deprivation, so it is not appropriate to sleep on the back. Of course, people in the sleep process posture is not fixed, just fall asleep can maintain a posture, but also very calm, but soon began to turn, in the whole sleep process, the position may change 20 to 60 times, nevertheless, there is a supine sleep consciousness, try to maintain the supine sleep position for a long time, for the protection of cervical vertebrae is still meaningful.
