平躺睡姿
Many sleep experts point out that sleeping on your back is a good option for those who suffer from arthritis and joint pain. This is because sleeping on your back distributes weight evenly throughout the body, without putting strain on any specific area.
許多睡眠專家指出,對于飽受關節(jié)炎以及關節(jié)疼痛之苦的人來說,臉朝上平躺著睡覺是個不錯的選擇。這是因為平躺睡姿可以均勻分解身體各個部位的重量,不會讓任一部位感到壓力。
However, the same sleep position is well known to aggravate snoring. In this position, the muscles in the jaw and tongue are relaxed, and the jaw and throat sag under the influence of gravity. This causes the throat to become narrower, producing air turbulence which leads to vibration and snoring.
不過,這種睡姿也是以加重打鼾而著名。采用此睡姿時,下巴和舌頭的肌肉處于放松狀態(tài),在重力的影響下,下巴和喉嚨下垂,造成喉嚨變窄,空氣氣流過急, 導致振動和打鼾。
ACTION: If this is your favourite sleeping position, then make sure you invest in a firm pillow. A lack of support for the neck and upper spine can cause tension in the muscles of the neck and shoulders, resulting in pain. For those who snore only when sleeping on their back, placing a pillow under their upper back may encourage them to change sleeping position and shift onto their side or front.
支招:如果這是你最喜歡的睡姿,那就一定要買個硬枕頭。一旦頸部和脊柱上部缺乏支撐,便會導致頸部和肩部的肌肉緊張,并造成疼痛。對于那些只在平躺睡覺時才會打鼾的人,在腰部以上的部位墊個枕頭可以有助于他們改變睡姿,從而使其采用側臥或是俯臥。
