What's the matter with liking to sleep while crawling

In life, many people like to sleep on their stomachs. There are many reasons for this, such as a sense of security, stagnation, and weak spleen and stomach. Therefore, when the sleep quality is poor, it is relatively easier to fall asleep on your stomach. But sleeping on your stomach is actually very bad for your health. Today, this article will introduce to you 5 dangers of sleeping on your stomach. Let’s take a closer look at them.

1. There are 5 major hazards of sleeping on your stomach

1. Affect vision

If you often lie prone on the bed, or sleep with your arms on your back, it will often compress the eyeballs, put pressure on the eyes, and affect the blood circulation in the eyes. For example, when you just wake up, you may feel dizzy and have blurred vision, which is caused by insufficient qi and blood in the eyes. If things go on like this for a long time, it is easy to develop myopia and induce other eye diseases. People's myopia often develops from childhood. Therefore, sleeping on children's stomach has a greater impact on their eyes.

2. Affects the heart and brain

Sleeping on your stomach often makes breathing difficult and also compresses the heart and abdominal organs, which is detrimental to blood circulation and leads to insufficient blood supply. As a result, it is easy to have insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. Insufficient blood supply to the hands and feet can easily lead to numbness of the hands and feet. Insufficient blood supply throughout the body will make you feel tired and weak when you wake up, as if you have not rested.

3. Affecting spinal development

The human spine has a normal physiological curvature. The best posture to maintain physiological curvature is to lie flat with the waist cushioned slightly higher.

The second is side lying. Sleeping on your side can sometimes cause the lumbar spine to bend.

The worst posture is lying on your stomach. When you lie prone at this time, the spine cannot maintain a normal position, which will affect the cervical curvature and lumbar curvature. Over time, it will lead to scoliosis and affect the development of the spine. You will usually feel like you can't stand straight and are crooked. It is likely related to improper sleeping posture in childhood.

4. Affect facial development

Sleeping on your stomach will also affect the blood circulation and nerve conduction in the face. The face, eyes, nose and other parts will grow asymmetrically on both sides. Over time, one side may develop well and the other side poorly. Generally speaking, the compressed part is poorly developed, while the other side is well developed. In fact, you can also see from the photos that if you look particularly good in photos on one side, then this side is usually the better developed side.

5. Affects spleen and stomach digestion

Sleeping on your stomach puts pressure on the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to weakened gastrointestinal motility. Over time, it affects digestion.
