The worst sleeping position that makes me tired even if I sleep for a long time?

The prone position' can cause pain by twisting the neck ligament or spine in a sleep position that causes fatigue, and can increase intraocular pressure to damage eye health.

If you feel tired even if you sleep for a long time, it is better to check your sleeping posture. It is most desirable to take a healthy sleeping position while sleeping, but avoiding an unhealthy sleeping position can relieve fatigue. What is the worst sleeping position that causes fatigue even after a long sleep?

Among sleep experts, the "down position" is considered the worst sleeping position. Sleeping in a prone position causes the hip and backbone to bend toward the ceiling, which can cause neck ligament or spine to twist and cause pain. In addition, sleeping on your stomach increases your intraocular pressure and increases your risk of glaucoma. According to a domestic study of 17 adult men and women, the intraocular pressure of the eyes rose from 16.2mmHg when lying directly toward the ceiling to 19.4mmHg when lying down. Compared to lying down looking at the ceiling, pressure on the head and neck was easily applied when lying down, resulting in higher intraocular pressure. Even if the intraocular pressure is lowered by 1mmHg, glaucoma progression is slowed by 10%.

A healthy sleeping posture is a posture in which the "S" curve of the spine is maintained. Lie down toward the ceiling, place the back of your head, neck, and spine in a straight line, and stretch your arms and legs so that the gap between your armpits and groin is 45 degrees. Keep the palm facing the ceiling so that the shoulders do not roll in. Even if the pillow is too high or too low, the angle of the neck bone is twisted, making blood circulation difficult and the surrounding muscles stiff, so you should also pay attention to the height of the pillow. The pillow height is appropriate for adult men and 3cm for adult women.
