Beauty sleep is everything! It’s essential for restoration and rejuvenation and helps you look and feel energetic and youthful. A good night’s sleep is the perfect complement to a consistent regiment of facial exercises and anti-aging skincare. To make the most of sleep, it’s extremely important to sleep on your back. Across the board, doctors and sleep experts agree that it’s the healthiest position to sleep in.
Here are five reasons why you should retrain yourself if you’ve been sleeping in other positions.
1. Sleeping on Your Back Protects Your Face
Sleeping on your back helps protect your facial skin against the formation of deep lines and creases. Sleeping with your face in the air is healthier overall and helps you avoid the lines that form when your face is smashed against a pillow. We’ve all seen those sleep lines when we wake up and prayed they would disappear. The reality is, if you continue sleeping in the wrong position, over time, those lines will remain.
2. It Protects Your Decollete
As with your face, sleeping on your side or stomach causes deep creases in your decollete that are very difficult to get rid of.
3. It Maintains Perky Breasts
Sleeping on your back ensures that you don’t put too much pressure on your breasts, which leads to sagging over time. It’s not very comfortable either!
4. It Provides Spine Support
When you sleep on your back, your spine can maintain neutral position and you don’t force your back and neck into any contortions. In addition, sleeping on your back allows your mattress to provide support for your spine.
5. Sleeping on Your Back Fights Acid Reflux
When you sleep with your head facing upwards and elevated, your stomach will be lower than your esophagus. In this position, food and acid won’t be able to come back up.
