I’m in my mid 30s and I learned TODAY from a chiropractor that I’ve been sleeping wrong my entire life. Front sleeping = bad, according to the chiropractor who was trying to undo the damage. I can’t believe this far in life before anyone told me this crucial information. This should have been the first thing we were told in school.
@herdingdata I feel like I dodged a bullet here by passionately hating the sensation of lying on my front for any length of time.
@leyrer sleeping whilst lying on one’s front i.e. stomach down 🙂
@leyrer (“front sleeping” is a term I’d never heard until today so it’s a reasonable question! 😂)
@HelenLockhart she pulled up an example image of a spine with curves in the wrong places, accompanied by the phrase “yours looks like this” 🙈
@herdingdata Ah so it is to do with spinal issues rather than breathing issues. I have developed shoulder issues which my physio says is due to me sleeping on my stomach and having my arms up under the pillow. Like you, nobody ever told me. Good to know though.
