A correct sleeping position prevents tension and pain in the shoulder/neck area, - a pressure relief for the whole body!
Correct sleeping position
The pillow is the right height and fits my body. It exactly fills the gap between my head and mattress.
The shoulder rests freely on the mattress and sinks in lightly.
The head rests freely on the pillow.
The neck is relaxed, the spine is in a straight line with the head and neck.
Wrong sleeping position
The pillow is too high - as a result the head is bent upwards.
Or the pillow is too low - as a result the head is bent downwards.
The shoulder may also be resting on the pillow.
The head and neck are bent upwards. Or they make a «kink» downwards: Both can lead to tension.
The spine is bent sideways, which can lead to tension and back pain.
