How Bad Sleep Affects Your Back
Sleep disturbances can lead to back pain as a result of poor sleep posture and the accumulation of physical stress on the back and neck during the night. To prevent sleep-related back pain, it’s important to have a supportive mattress and pillow that promote proper spinal alignment, avoid sleeping on your stomach, and use a supportive pillow to keep your neck and spine in a neutral position. Additionally, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress can also help improve sleep quality and decrease your back pain. Clinging to these bad sleep habits will make it more likely that you will develop back issues in your life. [via Docs Health]
