An important part of sleeping or the reasons for insomnia (not sleeping well) can be sleep position.  Proper alignment of your spine reduces the stress on your musculoskeletal system and organs allowing your body to rest.

Most experts agree that the best position for proper spine alignment and comfortable sleep is on the back with knees slightly elevated.  If this is not possible due to pregnancy or other issues, then sleeping on the side with a pillow between the legs is recommended.

Poor neck support can cause you to wake up stiff and sore, as the result from fatigue neck muscles.  A good contour pillow is also necessary for proper neck support.  Your doctor at Infinity Wellness Center in Austin is happy to evaluate your sleep position to determine if your sleep position is the reasons for your insomnia.
