Keep your arms relaxed by your sides or place them comfortably under your head for support.

4. Sleeping on Your Back Without Support
Sleeping on your back without adequate support can lead to back pain and discomfort, especially for those who suffer from lower back issues. Without the proper support, the spine is unable to maintain its natural curve, which could lead to misalignment and tension in the back muscles.

Why it’s risky:

Poor spinal alignment

Increased pressure on the lower back

Potential for long-term pain

Tips for a better sleep:
If you prefer sleeping on your back, use a pillow under your knees to help maintain spinal alignment.

5. Side Sleeping with One Leg Raised
Sleeping on your side with one leg raised can lead to pelvic and lower back misalignment. This position places strain on your hips and spine, increasing the risk of pain in the lower back and hips. Over time, this position could lead to chronic discomfort and reduced mobility.

Why it’s risky:

Pelvic misalignment

Increased pressure on hips and lower back

Potential for chronic pain

Tips for a better sleep:
Try keeping both legs aligned while sleeping on your side. You can also use a pillow between your knees for added support.
