Bed position is critical
Position is out of tune, emotional hurt
Many men have encountered this situation
Since my wife likes this pose
My body seems to be plucked out
Empty
Sleep all night without sleep
The suffocating “Nine Yin and White Bone Legs”
Follow all the way, nowhere to run
Also often wake up in the middle of the night
I opened my eyes and saw that the quilt was “pinch away”
Lack of sleep for a long time, can not help but runaway
Why do girls like to clip things while sleeping?
Clarification needed first
“Love to sleep with things” is not a girl’s patent
Some boys said they also have this habit
(Source: Kuaishou Platform, Tencent Medical Dian Kangkang’s fan comments)
Secondly, “sleeping with stuff” mostly occurs when sleeping on the side
Actually this habit has many benefits
01 Saves Knee and Leg Muscles
Many friends who are used to sleeping on their side may have had this experience
Wake up with numbness in the calf and more tired than before going to bed
Can’t help but wonder:
“I just took a nap
Why is it like a fight with someone? “
This may be related to sleeping position
When sleeping on the side, there is a gap between the legs
The upper leg is pulled down towards the bed surface and the lower leg due to gravity
At this point the soft tissue on the outside of the thigh is in a stretched state
This in turn flexes and adducts the hip
Piriformis stretched, sciatic nerve compressed
May cause radiating pain in lower extremities
Over time
May cause knee, ankle deviation
Long-term pain
If you put a soft pillow or folded blanket or towel between your legs
Can change this floating state to a certain extent
Reduce the effect of gravity on the upper leg
Let it “land” safely
During our long sleep
Get Well Soothed and Relaxed
02 Improve sleep quality
Spine health affects sleep quality
Studies show
The healthier the spine, the higher the sleep index, the better the quality of sleep[2]
Normally
The front and back of the spine should be in a straight line
(Note: the spine is made up of multiple vertebrae)
But when sleeping on the side, the upper leg causes pelvic roll or rotation
This will lead to abnormal position of the lumbar, thoracic, shoulder, and cervical vertebrae
Long-term, this may cause waist, back, neck discomfort
Place a soft pillow, blanket or towel between your legs
Helps maintain a neutral spine position
Protect the spine and improve sleep quality
03 Cooling and ventilation
A moderate temperature, usually slightly cooler
Can significantly improve sleep quality[3]
The temperature is higher in the quilt
When we sleep on our side with the quilt in place
One leg exposed
Provides cooling to help wick away sweat and keep you cool
All in all
“Pull things to sleep” improves sleep quality,
Relax joints, soothe muscles, and more
However, it is not recommended for everyone to have a partner
As a “tool man” sandwiched between the legs
National Sleep Foundation survey shows
Sleep linked to marital satisfaction
When encountering a “difficult” partner
How can I improve my sleep quality?
Please keep the following 2 tricks:
One, pillow as a barrier
Build a “pillow wall” between you
It can block the other party’s voice and actions to a certain extent
Second, sleeping in separate rooms in the short term
Sleeping in separate rooms is not recommended as a long-term solution
But when one partner’s sleep is interrupted by their partner for a long time
Neither conducive to the normal functioning of the body
Also prone to negative emotions, affecting both parties’ feelings
So consider sleeping separately in the short term
As for sticking to see here
Singles who feel useless knowledge has increased again
