Sleeping on your stomach - harm or benefit
Some people simply cannot fall asleep unless they lie on their stomach, and will toss and turn until they finally get into that position!
Sleeping on your stomach is considered by many people to be the most comfortable sleeping position.
A number of doctors, after conducting research, have found out in which cases sleeping in this position can be beneficial, and in which cases it can be harmful.
It is useful to sleep on your stomach if you experience:
• digestive system disorder;
• colic;
• bloating;
• gas formation.
This pose can reduce the state of discomfort and reduce unpleasant sensations and reduce painful cramps in the abdomen. Thus, it is recommended to lay newborn babies on their tummy for colic.
It turns out that with such an incorrect position, the internal organs and, in particular, the genitourinary system are compressed under the weight of the spine.
Also, the habit of sleeping on your stomach can greatly affect the condition of your skin – face and chest.
During sleep, the skin becomes deformed and compressed, initially forming shallow folds and wrinkles, but don’t be surprised if over time you develop deeper wrinkles – this is a consequence of sleeping on your stomach.
Resume
It is useful to sleep on your stomach only in those rare cases when you suffer from stomach and intestinal disorders; in other cases, it is completely harmful.
