Do you sleep flat, face down, or sideways? Which is better for your back?

On my side, holding a pillow. Always. With one leg propped up - and it is better for my back. A physical therapist taught me the position after I broke my tailbone in a riding accident.

I love sleeping on my right side... but now I sleep on my left so I can hug my husband who is likes to sleep on this left. But when I wake up in the morning, I'm back on my right. Hee hee... old habits die hard :)

When your pregnant they tell you to sleep on your left side because your stomach empties to the left so it will help with digestion while  you are sleeping.

Purchase a back brace, you can either wear them under or over your shirts, depending on how much you need the support. As for the ongoing pain, take some Tylenol or another OTC med and take a hot bath, the warm water helps muscles relax.\n\nAlso, what I discovered, stand up tall and straight, may think that it'll hurt worse, but it really doesn't. The more you slouch, the more pressure is put on your spine.

It is just your preference, you can eat while standing on your head if you want.  The only problem with upside-down is you have to hold your nose.\n\nBut neither way is healthier, eating healthy depends on what you eat, not how.

Well, I sleep on my back but that never stopped my caboose from growing. \nYour DNA decides how big your breasts grow, not your sleeping style.

lie on your back with your legs bent like you're going to do a crunch.  with weights in your hands and your arms almost straight out to your side, lift the weights (arms still slightly bent)  until they almost meet above your chest.

I have scoliosis, so my spine is curved in a backwards "S" shape. I wish so much that it were perfectly straight. It would make me about 3 inches taller and have less back problems.\n\nLuckily mine isn't so bad that you can see it when I'm wearing my clothes, but it's pretty obvious when I'm not. I wish I could say something superficial here like having bigger breasts, but if I only have one wish, it would be the straighter back!!

I do one of two things when my lower back starts to hurt that may help you.  Flip your mattress if you haven't in awhile.  You can also lay on your back on the floor and try to flatten out your back by pressing the small of your back into the floor.  You could also try getting a massage or visiting the chiropractor.  Hope you feel better!

It could be a strained muscle, thats what i think it is, from sleeping wrong, and maybe from your muscles straining so much, just stretch it out alot and try to sleep on your back not your side.

I'm a side sleeper.  As for snoring---I don't know if I do or not.  I do talk in my sleep.

The reason that they don't recommend it is because it puts your neck in a strained position.  I also sleep on my stomach.  I just can't fall to sleep on my back! Might explain why I've a pain in my neck.....lol....noooooo, I'm not a pain in the neck!

Well, my husband is what is called a "heroic" snorer, in which the snoring is so loud it can be heard in other rooms of the house.\n\n"Because you tend to snore more when sleeping on your back, one useful technique is to try to keep from sleeping in that position. One way is to wear a pocket T-shirt backward with a tennis ball in the pocket. You will be less likely to sleep on your back because it is very uncomfortable to sleep on a tennis ball."\n\nTry losing some weight. As little as 10 pounds might make the difference.  Avoid alcohol, especially in the 4 hours before going to sleep.  Avoid using sedatives and narcotic medications. Alcohol, sedatives, and narcotics cause relaxation of your throat muscles and increase the tendency for airway obstruction related to snoring.\n\nThose should help.  The Breath-Rite nasal strips should help.  But, in our house, just having the snorer sleep in a different position does the trick!  \n\nLots more info on snoring and treatment of snoring at site below.  Hope that helps!
