I am a stomach sleeper. I can't sleep until I flip over. Unfortunately, sleep position actually matters and, as a stomach sleeper, I am not doing myself any favors. Back sleeping (which kind of creeps me out because of its vampireseque quality) is much preferred. It helps ease and prevent back pain and also prevents wrinkles (because you're not squishing your face against the pillow).
It's going to be a difficult change but my new, healthy habit will be sleeping on my back.

Back is how I sleep. I have trained myself for the past two years. Why you ask? wrinkles? no. back issues? no. I will tell you. it is one word. baby. When I am pregnant I will not be able to sleep on my tummy because I will squish him or her. so for almost a year now I have trained myself to sleep on my back. (I too was a stomach sleeper) I did this so it is an easy transition, when I am pregnant. No sleepless nights for me. If I can do it, so can you.
ReplyDeleteput a pillow under your knees. it's better for your back that way.
ReplyDeleteKristy! TMI!
ReplyDeleteKristy: you're supposed to avoid sleeping on your back when you're pregnant, it's not ideal for either you or the baby's health. Side sleeping is the preferred way when you're pregnant, mainly on your left side. Sorry :(
