They did something during the night and they all, I must've done something when I slept, right? People say that all the time because they probably did. They probably did.

They either stayed in one position for too long and weren't conscious of it or they positioned themselves over an arm and it kind of was in this really strange position for a long period of time because they weren't conscious of it But then there's the sort of chronic effects of being a certain type of sleeper, like a side sleeper, especially some that like to sleep in the fetal position.

They pull their knees up. The last thing you need is more hip flexion. It's like sitting, like you're getting from a chair. You're creating your own chair in bed, right? You got another eight, nine hours of being in that position. Like lengthen them out, you know, get some flexibility or at least, you know, get some elongation at that joint and those muscles.

You know, sleeping with a pillow that is too fluffy can wreak havoc on your neck. You know, you wake up the next day, most of the back pain sufferers you talked about before, 82%, I believe, of people that report sleep disturbance say it's from back pain. And what happens? They feel it mostly, 77% of them feel it upon waking.

So they're not feeling it when they're sleeping, which is even worse, because if they did, they might be able to modify that. They're feeling it upon waking. And it goes back again, what we were talking about earlier, You see, it all relates. This back pain seems isolated, and we're talking about the thoracic spine, and that's back pain. But now I'm talking about sleeping, and that's back pain.

All these things relate to each other. That's why you have to care about all of it. But being in that position with that pillow up behind your head causes a lot of... excess flexion of your neck, which can cause issues with the muscles around your neck and with the joints in your neck over time.

So you might like to do that, but I'm telling you the healthier position is to sleep with a really flat pillow, a really flat pillow. I myself used to wake up every morning with some degree of neck stiffness. I switched to a pillow that is pretty much only about one or two inches high, just enough to support my head. I never have any issues with neck pain again.

You're not abnormally propping it up. Not to mention if you have any type of sleep apnea issues or breathing issues at night, the on the back position with the head propped up is going to be worse because you're closing down your airway a little bit more. You know, there are some cases where, again, that apnea patient might want to be on their side.

you know it's gonna be it's gonna be easier for their breathing but in most cases on their back and also too interestingly you know look our most people have tight calves right their ankles are again we sit all day we're not pulling our ankles back towards our head we're not maintaining that mobility towards in our ankle with our foot moving towards our head well what happens in a bed you get in bed the sheets are kind of tight at the bottom they're pulling your ankles straight down like that and your feet are pointed the whole night

further tightening those calves because they're just shortening in that position. Especially if you trained your calves that day and your muscles repair and regenerate at night, you're basically repairing them in the shortened position because your toes are pointed down.
