Pose in a dream tells about your illness

In the treasury of the information obtained in the course of somnological studies, it adds another one. Scientists have found that in the meantime, in what position is sleeping man and his disease there is some connection.

After analyzing the "pros" and "cons" of different poses, experts Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University (UK), led by Professor Jim Horne found out exactly how this or that position during sleep affects our health and well-being:

On the side.   In this position, you can easily make the wrinkles to be more pronounced depending on which side you sleep. If the you are used to sleeping face in the pillow, the wrinkles can become deeper, said Professor Jim Horne. However, sleeping on your side helps with indigestion, reducing the severity of the symptoms of acid reflux, often manifested in the form of heartburn.

On the side with bent knees, so-called "fetal position".   This position is very beneficial for the spine: the pressure on the wheels is reduced, which allows you to relieve back and recover faster. However, easing pain, posture embryo provoke pain in the neck and headaches, especially if properly matched cushion. How to choose the pillow?

On the back.   Sleeping on your back brings relief for arthritis and joint pains, but asthmatics and cores, it is contraindicated. In this position the body weight is distributed without overloading any one area, which relaxes the muscles and the tongue and jaw. Hence - the snoring, particularly in obese people. Finally, the study found that people who sleep on their backs, have a low content of oxygen in the bloodstream. This position has to breathe faster, which is why the body tissues do not get enough oxygen and the risk of respiratory illnesses.

Hugging partner lying face to his back (the position of "spoons").   Sleeping in this position helps to cope with stress: physical contact partners can reduce the degree of psychological stress in men and women. But sleep in this position at night is not recommended: it increases the pain, which are already present, provokes the emergence of new, shoulders and back. And if you sleep on your arm breast or partner, and even pain in the neck.

On the abdomen. As the antithesis of posture "on its back", this position prevents snoring. But perhaps the other virtues it does not. Sleeping on your stomach can cause numbness in the hands or causes that a person begins to grind the teeth for by increasing the load on the teeth and jaw displacement. Pain in the neck can also be infrequent guests.
