When sleep experts talk about sleep, they talk about the vertical of sleep where, oh, you know, keep your airway closed, or it's about breathing. Yeah, maybe they help people fall asleep, but they miss a huge vertical, which is the structure. Your structure affects your function.
All right, guys. Dr. Peter Martone here today. We're talking sleep. One of the top sleep experts in the world. Thanks for coming on, man. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. And you're from New York. From Boston. Oh, from Boston. Yeah. East Coast. Let's go. Same here. New Jersey. Whoa, I could tell. I love East Coast. Nice. It's good. It's hard to beat. Totally different gig.
There are two lacks out here, man. We hustle.
Yeah, you're not lying. It's definitely a hustle. How'd you get into the sleep stuff? Well, it's interesting. I'm a kinesiologist and chiropractor. That's kind of my background. And I was working with patients at the time, 15 years, always had back pain. And I'm a competitive mountain biker. So I had herniated my disc in a little mountain biking injury.
And I reviewed about 3,000 x-rays and found that the problem with my back wasn't really my back at all. It was my neck. And it was because I lost the cervical curve in my neck and picked up rotation in my lower back, which I was helping my patients with for years. And I'm like, if it's my neck, I should be able to fix this. Why is it? When can I fix it? I've been getting it adjusted.
And I'm like, well, due to Davis's law, the only way to really stretch a curve back into the neck is with long. Like when you stretch, you want to stretch like for a long period of time, right, to get the maximum benefit. So you have short stretching, you know, where people bounce. But the most beneficial stretching is slow stretching over a long period of time.
And I said, you know, best time to do it is to force myself to sleep on my back and get my neck into extension. And I created a pillow that does that. And I started to sleep on my back. And after about a month of sleepless nights, but really focusing on my sleeping posture, my back pain went away. And I've never had back pain again since. Damn. So sleep posture is super important.
So when sleep experts talk about sleep, they talk about the vertical of sleep where, oh, keep your airway closed, or it's about breathing, or room temperature, and And they talk about all of these things that, yeah, maybe they help people fall asleep, but they miss a huge vertical, which is the structure. Your structure affects your function. Your neurology is housed within your spinal column.
And when you sleep on your side, and most people sleep curled up in a ball because they want to feel protected and safe. And when you sleep like that, you're destroying your structure. And what you don't realize is you're actually destroying your health. So yeah, man, sleeping position is critically important to being able to not just sleep better. Like I can fall asleep.
