Other Benefits of Sleeping on the Back
In addition to these above-mentioned health benefits, sleeping on the back can also provide the following positive effects:
– Reduce acid reflux: The key is to keep your head elevated enough so that the esophagus is located above the stomach
– Ease puffy eyes: Back sleeping prevents blood from flowing too much under the eyes, thus reducing puffy eyes
– Prevent fine lines and wrinkles: If you sleep on the stomach or belly, the face may smash into the pillow, which causes wrinkles to develop over time. Back sleeping can reduce the risk of these problems
– Benefit spine health
– Reduce sinus buildup and prevent blood from flowing and accumulating in the nose when you are sick or have sinus pain. [5]
