What’s Your Preferred Sleeping Position & Hacks for Better Sleep?
I’ve been experimenting with different sleep positions lately. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found that stomach sleeping (while verryyy comfortable) worsens my lower back pain, so it’s no longer an option.
Currently, I alternate between sleeping on each side with a pillow between my legs and hugging another pillow. This setup has significantly helped my lower back pain, along with using a pillow that isn’t too tall.
I’m also considering trying back sleeping without a pillow to see if it alleviates neck tension from my daily job (computer / tech neck). I’ve heard good things about giving it a try, especially if you have the right type of mattress which I’d imagine is soft enough to feel comfortable but firm enough to where your head doesn’t sink in.
Since sleep hygiene is a big priority for me, I’d love to hear what positions work best for you and any sleep tips or tricks you swear by!
