Stomach Sleeping: When you lay on your stomach and sleep, you are forced to turn your head severely to one side or the other. Can you imagine how horrible you would feel if you sat at a computer like that all day? Stomach sleeping is a major contributor to chronic neck pain and muscle tightness. It is also one of the reasons that some patients do NOT hold their upper cervical adjustments very well. So if you are doing it. STOP!
Too Many Pillows: What’s with all the pillows? Some people act like it’s a competition to see who can sleep with the most pillows. The problem with too many pillows is bad posture position it puts you in. Too many pillows for a side sleeper laterally flexes the head and can cause neck pain and muscle tightness. Too many pillows for a back sleeper will push the head forward and contribute to forward head posture and ultimately the dreaded “hunch.” NO ONE wants the hunch.
