Importance of Sleep Posture and Sleep Hygiene

Sleep posture and sleep hygiene are crucial aspects of getting a good night's sleep. Sleep posture expert emphasizes the significance of lying in a position that supports your spine and promotes proper alignment. Sleeping on your back or side with a thin or supportive pillow can ensure even weight distribution and minimize tension on your spine. Additionally, placing a pillow between your knees and ankles while side sleeping can help maintain a neutral posture and improve circulation. Establishing good sleep hygiene, such as avoiding caffeine, not eating late at night, and keeping electronic devices out of the bedroom, can also contribute to better sleep.
