睡眠体位の秘密:睡眠の仕方が健康に影響する可能性がある

Share:

睡眠科学者のキャット・レダール博士によると、睡眠の仕方は健康と睡眠の質に影響を与える可能性があるそうです。彼女は、好みの睡眠姿勢を持たない人もいれば、好む姿勢を持つ人もいますが、これは時間とともに変化する可能性があると説明しています。

特定の姿勢で寝ると、健康上の問題を引き起こしたり、悪化させたりすることがあります。たとえば、前で寝ていると、背骨の位置がずれるため、首、腰、背中の痛みにつながる可能性があります。通常、頭は片側を向いているため、この姿勢では首に緊張が生じることもあります。さらに、仰向けに寝ると、睡眠中に呼吸困難を引き起こす睡眠時無呼吸(睡眠時無呼吸)が悪化することがあります。

Lederle博士は、横向きに寝て肩の痛みを感じる場合は、膝の間に特別な枕を挟んで体の位置を整え、肩にかかる圧力を軽減することを提案しています。首の痛みがある方には、首、背骨、腰の位置を保つために、平らな枕を使うと良いかもしれません。

一晩中お腹の上で寝ていると、首の痛みや、胃酸逆流などの胃の問題につながる可能性があります。慢性的な痛みを抱えている人は、快適な姿勢を見つけようとすると落ち着きのない眠りにつくことがあります。この落ち着きのなさは、回復を促すような深い睡眠の量を減らし、睡眠不足と痛みに対する感受性の高まりの悪循環につながります。

妊娠中の方は、緊張や圧迫を和らげることができるため、左側で寝る方が快適だと感じるかもしれません。この姿勢は、胃酸逆流症の人にもお勧めです。

しかし、Lederle博士は、睡眠姿勢には厳密な規則はないと強調しています。重要なのは、ストレスを感じないことです。そうすると睡眠不足になる可能性があるからです。また、マットレス、羽毛布団、枕に関しては、体型や好みは人によって異なるため、万能のソリューションはないとも述べています。彼女は、マットレスを購入する前に試して、ぴったりフィットすることを確認することを勧めています。
