MAN LIKES TO SLEEP IN A FETAL POSITION
Men who
opt for the fetal position are doing their bodies a favour as well. According
to Health Line, those who suffer from lower back
pain benefit from this sleep
Posture. Because the legs are tucked in and upward, it
opens space between
Vertebrae, relieving pressure on discs.
When you lie on your side and bring your
knees up to your chest, you are sleeping in the fetal position. Some people
curl an arm under their pillow to support their head while in this position,
but others may not. It is called the fetal position because it mimics the
position of a fetus in the womb.
Side
sleeping is the most common sleep position, but researchers have not yet
studied how many people curl up into the fetal position while sleeping on their
sides. Sleeping on your side appears to become more preferable as you get older2.
Children usually spend equal time sleeping on their stomachs, sides, and backs,
while older adults spend more time asleep on their sides.
Sleeping
on your side offers quite a few benefits. Studies show that sleeping on your
Side may
help reduce heartburn3, especially if you are sleeping on your left
Side. Snoring4, another common sleep disturbance, is also reduced when
sleeping on
Your
side. You may want to consider sleeping in the fetal position if you share a
bed
With a
partner, in order to minimize sleep
disturbances5 and other issues caused by
Snoring.
Sleeping
in the fetal position may be a great option for people who are pregnant,
Especially
in the later stages of pregnancy. Sleeping on your back while pregnant can put
unnecessary pressure6 on
your back and cardiac system.
The fetal
position, in which you are sleeping on your side with your knees bent, can reduce pressure on your heart7 during
pregnancy. Experts specifically recommend sleeping on your left side while
pregnant.
