As a doctor of physical therapy, I get asked about sleeping positions all the time. Usually these questions come from patients who are dealing with pain either in their necks or lower backs.
These conditions can be limiting and debilitating on so many levels; one thing that is often affected is sleep.
Today I wanted to share with you five tips to ensure you are getting your best sleep possible even despite
1. The best sleeping position for you is one that is comfortable and holds your spine in the correct posture: The bottom line is the best sleeping position for you is which ever position you find to be the most comfortable while keeping your spine in as neutral a position as possible. Make sure you are aware of your spine alignment front to back, side to side, as well as if you are rotating or not.
2. To get the right posture you need the right support: In order to achieve a correct, neutral spine posture, you need to have the right support from your mattress and from your pillow.
Mattress: It is recommended that you replace your mattress every 8-10 years. If it’s been a decade since you got a new mattress it might be time.
Pillow: I make pillow recommendations based solely on two things - body type and sleeping posture. I would recommend a different pillow for someone with a petite frame versus a larger frame. Similarly, it you slept primarily on your back my recommendation would be different than if you slept primarily on your side.
3. Stomach Sleep: DON’T DO IT! This is the worst of all the postures you can sleep in through the night. It maximally rotates your neck all night, it puts your lower back in an extended position, and it puts pressure on your internal organs. Stop sleeping on your stomach.
4. Side Sleepers: Again the goal is to achieve as close to neutral spine as possible. This is achieved with proper support for your head/neck, torso, and hips/legs.
Head and neck: you want a pillow that supports your neck in a neutral position. If your pillow is too full your neck will be bent too much up towards the ceiling. If your pillow is too flat your head will be bent too much down towards your bed. Try to find the right pillow to achieve a neutral spine position.
Torso: Again, this is where the right mattress comes into play. It needs to be firm enough to support the side of your trunk but soft enough to unload your shoulders and hips (areas of higher pressure). You can also get small pillows designed specifically to achieve this goal. Click here to see these pillows:
Hips: Oftentimes when we sleep on our sides our top leg rests on top of our bottom leg putting pressure on your knees, pulling on your hips, and pulling your spine out of alignment. My solution here is to sleep with a pillow between your knees to unload stress at all three of these areas. You can even get pillows that specifically go between your legs that are intended for side sleepers; check out this link to get yours:
5. Back sleepers: Back sleepers are typically a little more prone to snoring, but if you can handle that it’s a really good position for your back! Again, the whole goal here will be getting your spine into a correct position and supporting it there.
Head and neck: Again - you want just the right amount of support to maintain your head/neck at the correct angle. If your pillow is too full, you’ll spend all night with your neck flexed up. If your pillow is too flat, you’ll spend all night with your head extended and your neck unsupported. Typically your pillow should be smaller if you sleep on your back than it would be if you preferred to sleep on your side.
Hips: Oftentimes laying out flat on our backs puts a lot of stress on our lower back due to hip flexors pulling on our spine. I always recommend that if you sleep on your back you do so with 1-2 pillows under your knees to unload some pressure in your spine. You can also buy different wedge-shaped pillows designed specifically for this purpose. You can check out this link to see my personal favorite: amzn.to/2YOmzNG

You skinstry keeping a thin pillow or a small pillow under your tummy so that it doesn't cause any stress to your tummy but it pushes your lower back up I do that and every time I put a pillow under my tummy I feel insane relief. I'm not sure if this is right, but everytime I do it I just feel a lot better in terms of lower back flexibility

Thanks for the information and fantastic advice 👍. I use pillows and cushions for my sleep and restless legs syndrome and sciatica and slip disc's discomfort throughout the day and night. Now watching your video will be more careful and disciplined than before. I am sure with your instructions, I'll sleep or rest better. I am on bed rest most of the day too.I watched another video of yours and I am going to get up from the bed with correct tips from you. God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌
I watched this video a couple of weeks ago and returned just because I wanted to write a review here and thank them. I have been suffering from a low back pain that radiates to my right leg. I tried all kinds of medicine, therapies and massages, nothing helped. This video has been super useful. I tried the exercise described here and it actually helped. I will not say the pain was relieved forever (for that, I will have to find the cause and treat it and I'm on it) but every time I experience back pain/discomfort, I try these exercises and it actually relieves me off the pain immediately. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for making this video!! This is super helpful and very very informative. Thank you!!

You're 20 and dealing with these issues? You need to check if you have some sort of disorder. I had issues with my neck since I was around 17. I was diagnosed in my thirties with a degenerative disorder of the spine. I'm going through hell with it right now at 43. I would also suggest doing a lot of back, neck and abs strengthening exercises to avoid ending up like me. Glucosamine, collagen, Vit D, Magnesium, Vit K and Calcium to keep your bones strong. Quit soda if you drink it.

i have tried all positions and pillows for sleep all worked for me so so well
Thank you so much, this has relieved the majority of back pain I've had for over 20 years ! I am now 53. I have spent a lot of time and money with a chiropractor using Neuro Impulse Protocol which helped temporarily but never cured any of my pain for good. At no time has a GP or chiropractor ever mentioned that the way I sleep could affect the amount of pain I've been in. Since trying these methods with ordinary pillows, both sleeping on my back and side, I am for the most part, now pain free. I've treated myself to a half moon pillow for behind my knees and a pillow for between my knees as an early Christmas present to myself. Once again, thank you so much, I feel like a new person.
Your video popped up randomly in my suggestions - great stuff! It answered a bunch of questions I barely knew I had, about back and knee problems I struggle with. Thank you! 🙏

Same here. I'm a young guy and both American and Indian doctors tell me I shouldn't be having disc issues in my lumbo-sacral and cervical regions. I do now understand after watching this video why everytime lying down on bed in supine position eases pressure on my lower back as soon as I fold my fingers as if I'm going to punch somebody and place it under my lower back. Earlier spine used to "pop" and give instant relief from any pain but for quite some, I notice no popping at all. What's the issue with your knees? I see you may be German or Swedish. Is it because of the cold weather you have?

It's quite easy if you force yourself to lie flat every night, you will get used to it. My unbalanced shoulder became balanced by adjusting my sleeping position 🌱

So helpful! Your explanations are clear and concise. I really appreciated this video and the one on exercises to avoid/eliminate sciatica. You and your wife are a charming team. Sleeping better in Seattle.

This comment made my day, Wendy! I'm so glad these techniques have helped you and I wish you continued progress towards pain-free goals.
Thank you for making this helpful video.
Thanks, this is the third video I watched to help with posture and back pain (bulging diss pain) I have always slept with the pillow between the knees since my first pregnancy, making some changes to see if it will help with lower back pain. My job requires me to sit most of the time so I will be making changes there too!
Have had ciadica for a while now and have had broken sleep in all that time any advice is gold for me
Superb !!! I used to love sleeping on my right side. Noticed something was not good ... as I am a yoga lover, I noticed that sleeping on my back using a round bolster beneath my knees felt sooooo much better. Wished I knew this many years before. Anyway huge thanks for this excellent explanation 👍🙏

I was and prefer side sleeping left+right, but having terrible back issues and was terrible in the mornings more so. Forcing myself on my back ATM to sleep and in the morning I am so much better for it.
Great video! Yes, I was a stomach sleeper well into my thirties, couldn't fall asleep any other way. However, trained myself to sleep on my side and yes I love the extra pillow between my knees and I actually have another small cushion under my armpit (result of time with shoulder injury). Changing sides during sleep with the pillows takes some practice... ha ha.

WOW💥🎯💥 I came across this video right before going to bed last night and had to watch it because those are exactly the areas where I feel pain. I sleep on my side and decided to try sleeping with a folded hand towel under my waist. Oh my goodness! For the first time in I don't know how many years, I woke up...and got up...without any lower back pain or stiffness. AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH! GOD BLESS YOU! 💖👏🏻🤗💖🙏❣

I have four fused vertebrae in my neck and sleep on my side. I also have a spinal cord injury. I use a buckwheat hull pillow that has a zipper, and by adding or removing the hulls, I can attain a neutral position with my spine. Pillows are essentially a fixed floating device on a mattress. What may feel right on a firm mattress will not be the same as on a pillow top mattress because the body and shoulders sink in more. I have struggled a long time with mattresses and pillows over the last 35 years living with the neck and spinal cord injury and a buckwheat Hull pillow is the best support for my neck while sleeping I have encountered. Granted I have a very fragile and sensitive neck but thought I would offer the above insights that may help others with a similar problems.

I’m literally suffering from both neck and back pain rn!!!
My sister told me a long time ago to go to sleep in the same position that you woke up in because that is your most comfortable position to sleep in. I have been doing this ever since. I do not move at all when I sleep, I stay in the same position all night long! No tossing & turning for me!
