The most correct and healthy sleeping position is considered to be sleeping on your back, supporting your head and neck with a pillow of medium height and hardness. The mattress should be hard or semi-hard to support the spine in a natural position without creating excessive pressure on certain parts of the body. Neurologist, osteopath, chiropractor Andrei Galkin told socialbites.ca.

“Many people like to sleep on a high pillow, but is it really good for your health? A high pillow can really negatively affect the body’s condition. The head being higher than the back level negatively affects the blood vessels and disrupts blood flow to the brain during sleep,” he said.

As a result, the neck muscles become tight and experience constant tension and spasm. This can lead to morning stiff neck, headaches, and even the development of chronic musculoskeletal diseases.

“A very soft mattress may not provide sufficient support to the spine, which can cause poor posture while sleeping. This can cause back pain. It would be better to choose firm or semi-firm mattresses to provide adequate support to the spine,” he said.
