Sleep Posture

Do you ever wake up in the morning with a stiff neck, back pain and/or a headache? Well, it may be because of your sleeping posture.

According to chiropractor Chip Abbadessa of Kaneohe Family Chiropractic, the best sleeping position is on your back.

“The correct position to sleep in is on your back, side is your next best, and stomach is the worst,” says Abbadessa. “If you’re a stomach sleeper, it can be damaging your spine and nervous system. It’s the worst position to be in because it turns your head in an extreme rotation and it puts your head back in extension.
