184 How Important is Good Posture While You Sleep?

Have you ever woken up with a stiff neck and wondered if there was some magic grail of pillows that would prevent it?

You spend 1/3 of your life asleep - but do you actually need a bunch of fancy (and probably overpriced) pillows to keep you out of pain while you sleep?

I hate to break it to you, but how you feel in the morning has less to do with your sleep position and everything to do with how you're moving throughout the day.

But there are some things you can do to improve your sleep posture so you can wake up feeling refreshed.

This week on the Body Nerd Show, you'll learn:

The importance of sleep position
The relationship between pain and sleep quality
Why waking up feeling achy has more to do with how you're moving (or not moving) during the day
And how to get your best night of pain-free sleep ever
