What kind of sleeping position is the healthiest?

1. The best sleeping position for women: lying on the right side.

Exclude supine position and prone position, and sleep on the left side. Among them, lying on the left side is not ideal because it will press the heart and may cause discomfort. Lying on the right side does not have the problems that may be caused by the above sleeping positions, and naturally becomes the most recommended sleeping position for women.

2. The best sleeping position for men: supine.

Some people say that lying on the right side will neither oppress the heart nor the scrotum, so it should be a good sleeping position. But they ignored an unexpected situation-testicular torsion. This disease is common in thin adolescents aged 12- 18. Theoretically, the testis itself is not twisted, but there is a twisted and knotted spermatic cord like a rope on it. Because the blood vessels that provide nutrition and transport metabolites to the testis pass through it, once the spermatic cord is knotted, the testis will starve to death, and it will be ischemic and necrotic after more than 12 hours. Most patients with testicular torsion get sick after strenuous exercise, but some of them happen while sleeping on their side. This is because when sleeping, the testicles and penis are squeezed between the legs, and the pressure on the reproductive organs is more obvious than when standing. In addition, some people sleep badly, their legs will wriggle, and the spermatic cord will "rub" into a ball, which is more prone to accidents.

To sum up, supine is indeed the best sleeping position. At the same time, it is best for men to naturally separate their legs and give the scrotum and penis enough room to move. If the male is obese and snores when lying on his back, he may wish to tilt his head slightly to one side when lying on his back.
