The dangers of sleeping with your head low and your feet high

Sleeping with the head low and the feet high is a very bad way, because it increases the burden on the heart and causes more blood to reflux in the lower limbs, which will affect breathing and the health of the heart. In daily life, you must adopt a good sleeping method. Only in this way can you promote the health of your body. About 1/3 of a person's life is spent sleeping, so sleep is not a trivial matter.
