Doctor:
The surrender sleeping position is a poor sleeping position
Do more harm than good!
Liu Li, attending physician of the Department of Rehabilitation of Wuhan Donghu Hospital, introduced that the "surrender sleeping position" refers to the most commonly used sleeping position when the baby sleeps, similar to the posture of the fetus in the womb, which is related to the inertia formed by curling up in the uterus, mainly an instinctive reaction, which is a normal phenomenon.
The "surrender sleeping position" of adults, which refers to the posture of raising hands above the head when sleeping flat, is a poor sleeping position. The disadvantages of this posture far outweigh the benefits, and maintaining it for a long time can have many effects on the body.
Studies have shown that:
■ Raise your arms when sleeping, due to the stretching of the muscles to displace the diaphragm, resulting in increased abdominal pressure, which is more obvious for bedtime eaters, the elderly and the third trimester, and severe cases will cause reflux esophagitis;
■ Long-term poor posture will cause poor blood circulation in the upper limbs, causing numbness in the upper limbs, and for a long time, it will cause peripheral nerve ischemia and hypoxia, causing peripheral neuritis and other diseases;
■Prolonged stretching and stimulation of upper limb muscles, easy inflammation of the bursa around the shoulder joint, and cold exposure to the outside can easily induce frozen shoulder.
Love the "surrender sleeping position"
It could be a physical problem!
Discomfort of the cervical spine
Because the soft tissues of the neck and shoulders are too tense, raising your hands high can relieve the difficulty of falling asleep caused by muscle tension and slowing blood circulation.
Levator scapular syndrome
The levator scapula is the muscle that connects the lateral side of the upper cervical spine to the scapula, causing pain in cases such as injury, spasticity, fasciitis, or tendonitis.
People with levator scapular syndrome are used to raising their hands while sleeping, which can relax the levator scapula muscles and relieve pain.
Hunchback trend
Under normal circumstances, when a person breathes, the front and back half of the body are balanced. Once you have a tendency to hunchback, the fascia of the front half of the body will be more tense, and the chest will rise and fall when breathing, transferring to the shoulders.
So the body must lift the arms and let the ribs lift in order to make you relatively "gasping for air".
Cardiopulmonary problems
Once respiratory arrest occurs during sleep, the brain immediately directs both hands to open the chest cavity to decompress the lungs.
Same goes for it, if you feel
These two sleeping positions are healthier!
Experts remind that for most normal people, lying on the side and lying on the back is recommended.
When lying on your side
The pillow is shoulder-level with the head in a neutral position and a thin cushion or small pillow between the knees to keep the pelvis neutral.
When lying on your back
Thin cushions or small pillows can be placed under your knees to maintain the natural flexion of the lumbar spine and relax your muscles.
There are also different sleeping positions for people with different diseases:
■ People with high blood pressure should lie on their backs, and the height of the pillow should be about 15cm, which is conducive to brain blood circulation;
■ People with heart disease should lie on the right side to return more blood to the right side and reduce the burden on the heart; ■
