The Sleeping Position That Could Harm You

Beyond sleep position, consider other habits to enhance rest. A consistent bedtime routine, like reading or light stretching, can signal your body to wind down. Avoiding heavy meals or caffeine before bed may improve sleep quality, as some studies suggest these can disrupt rest. Keeping your bedroom cool and dark also helps. Pairing these with better sleep posture might leave you feeling more refreshed each morning.

Ready to try a small change? Pick one adjustment—like adding a pillow between your knees if you’re a side-sleeper—and test it for a few nights. Notice how you feel when you wake up, and share your experience with a friend or family member. Small tweaks can make a big difference, and we’d love to hear how it goes for you.
