When you sleep on your back, your weight is evenly distributed across your body. This reduces stress on your neck and upper back. It also helps align your internal organs and spine. The secret is to add pillows that support your neck and knees. This helps maintain the natural curvature of your spine.

2. Spinal discomfort

This is an excellent sleeping position for people who often sleep on their stomach and have difficulty falling asleep in other positions. Place a pillow under your stomach and upper pelvis. Make sure it is thin, no more than 3 inches thick. The support of the pillow placed under your stomach relieves some of the pressure on your back, which ultimately helps you fall asleep. No results? Try moving the pillow away from your head.
