Sleep Positions, Stretching May Reduce Pain

Whether you’re a side sleeper, back sleeper, or stomach sleeper (or a combination of all), how you’re sleeping could be contributing to the pain you may be experiencing.

Pillows are often bought quickly, by feel in a store. But when you bring that pillow home, is it really as comfortable as you thought it would be? Is it right for your particular style of sleeping?

After years of not being able to find a comfortable pillow, I finally found one by pure chance. I was traveling back from North Carolina and we stayed in a hotel in PA. The pillows were – to me – the most comfortable ones I’d ever used in my life. As soon as we got home, I went on line and ordered two. They weren’t cheap, but they made my quality of sleep much, much better.

But how do you know if your sleep position is making you uncomfortable during the day and if so, what can you do about it? This article, Sleep On It , is very informative. The author writes about the different sleep positions and the stretching you can do in the morning to help alleviate tightness or discomfort that may have developed overnight.
