How does your sleeping position affect your health?

For children, sleeping on their back is recommended to reduce the risk of   sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)  . For teenagers, this is an opportunity to establish good postural habits. But after age 60, sleep apnea becomes a real problem:   avoid sleeping on your back   !

Two testimonies that speak for themselves

Ekaterina, 34, suffered from heartburn after giving birth. Treatments only masked the symptoms. Simply switching sides while sleeping led to a noticeable improvement.

Anatoly, 57, woke up exhausted every morning. Diagnosed with sleep apnea, he opted for an orthopedic pillow and a lateral position. The result: his apneas decreased by 70%.

5 myths we urgently need to forget

  • “Sleeping on your back is ideal”   : Not for everyone!
  • “In the stomach, it is good for digestion”   : it is quite the opposite.
  • “Ergonomic pillows don’t work”   : A good pillow can transform your nights.
  • “Snoring is just noise”   – This is often a serious warning sign.
  • “I’ll make up for it on the weekend”   : Sleep can’t be stored!

Simple tips for a better night’s sleep

  • Slide a pillow between your knees: perfect for relaxing your lower back.
  • Slightly elevate the head of the bed to reduce reflux and make breathing easier.
  • Try nasal strips if you often have a stuffy nose at night.
  • Choose a mattress with balanced support   to keep your spine properly aligned.
  • And above all, sleep in the correct position, even if you move during the night!
