#1 – Stomach: You get back problems
Sleeping on the stomach is the number one position that you should avoid at all costs because it’s literally the enemy of your spine.
First off, most of your weight is in the middle of your body and sleeping on the stomach puts a huge strain on your spine, in addition to your joints and neck. Because you’re forced to turn your head to the side while sleeping on your stomach, it adds stress to your neck which may lead you to end up with chronic neck pain.
This sleep position also flattens the natural curve of your spine which causes lower back pain, in case you were wondering why you wake up with it every morning.
The only good thing about this sleep position is that it eases snoring, yet it’s not a good enough redeeming quality, unless you’re willing to sacrifice the health of your spine!
