I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY PEOPLE LATELY THAT THEY ARE NOT HOLDING THEIR ADJUSTMENT. “I FEEL GREAT AFTER MY ADJUSTMENT BUT ONCE I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING I AM ALL OUT OF ALIGNMENT AGAIN” INTERESTING! SO, DON’T YOU THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK INTO THE WAY WE ARE SLEEPING? WE ALL – INCLUDING MYSELF- CURL UP INTO BE EVERY NIGHT AND USUALLY ARE IN THE SAME POSITION.  WE WAKE UP SORE IN THE MORNING AND WE DON’T KNOW WHY. WE SPEND 1/3 OF OUR TIME SLEEPING, MAYBE WE SHOULD FIND THE PROPER POSITION FOR OUR SPINE.  

Info from the Dr. Oz show:

Dead Man's Float

This sleeper spends the night prone, on his stomach, head turned to the side, with arms splayed under the pillow.
The problem - In this position you hyper-flex the neck and exert pressure on the nerves along the underside of your arms that can cause pins and needles and awaken you from sleep. The body's weight compresses the lungs, preventing a fully expanded deep breath. It also exerts unnecessary pressure on the breasts.

The fix - Don't use a head pillow at all. Try raising the whole side of your body slightly with a long pillow, or place a pillow under your hips.

The Soldier

This sleeper spends the night on his back.
The problem - Sleeping in the supine position can cause the tongue to fall inwards to block the breathing tube. Back sleepers are prone to snoring and sleeping supine is not good for people with sleep apnea, a life-threatening sleep disorder that causes brief episodes of breathlessness.

The fix -Sleeping on your back is not good for you or your bed partner, who may have to endure every snort and rattle all night. Infants however, should always be placed on their backs to prevent sudden infant death (SIDS). If you must sleep on your back, put a pillow under your knees and a small pillow under your lower back.

People with heart failure, certain respiratory diseases, glaucoma or gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) may benefit from taking their solider position into a semi-sitting position.

Sleeping Beauty

This type of sleeper sleeps on the side, back slightly curled with knees bent and arms folded.

The problem - None. This is the healthiest position to sleep in. This posture complements the natural curvature of the spine.

To make it even better - Add comfort and reduce stress on the hips by putting a pillow between your knees. Use a pillow of moderate height to support the head. Try a water pillow that can be easily adjusted. If there is room, stretch arms out front. If you have high blood pressure, try sleeping on the left side. If you are prone to kidney stones on one side, side-sleep on the other side.

I HAVE ATTACHED SOME PHOTOS THAT I FOUND WITH PEOPL SLEEPING WITH CERVICAL PILLOWS. WE HAVE THESE PILLOWS AT VITALITY CHIROPRACTIC, SO NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN ASK US ABOUT THEM.
