What is the healthiest sleeping posture between lovers?

Whenever you see a red faced sex scene in a TV series, such as ↓

(Korean drama scene)

Do you also want to fall in love very much, and hug (roll) and sleep (sleep) with your partner every day?

However, in real life, if you really want to keep the pillow arm sleeping posture all night, one of you may get periarthritis of shoulder and the other cervical spondylosis in the near future

Romance doesn’t exist. It’s true that your hands are numb. In fact, the sleeping posture between lovers should be more exquisite than that between themselves. Xiao Jiu summarized several common sleeping positions between lovers. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons!

the first: hugging

This is the classic love sleeping posture. Sleeping between lovers or hugging each other; Or one person lies on his back, the other person nests in his arms, and his limbs touch him.

Lee: this traditional sleeping posture shows a kind of motivation. It is a posture that one party adopts to protect the other, which will increase the degree of emotional intimacy.

Disadvantages: if the sleeping posture remains unchanged for a long time, it will be the same as the pillow arm sleeping posture, resulting in a sense of restraint on the oppressed side, which is easy to cause muscle numbness and affect normal activities during the day. In addition, if one party wants to change his / her posture during sleep, it is easy to wake up the other party.

the second type: following type

Two people lie on their sides in the same direction, one holding the other in his arms and snuggling tightly. Or they may keep a little distance, but their limbs are still in contact.

Lee: This is an infinite physical closeness, which shows the closeness of feelings. Moreover, this intimate sleeping position can increase the number of sexual intercourse.

Disadvantages: this posture may cause trouble to the party who wants some space. For example, when it is very hot, if the other party is close to you behind, it may wake up and affect the quality of sleep.

the third type: back-to-back

The two lovers lie on their opposite sides and adopt a back-to-back posture, or there is no physical contact at all, or there is contact between their buttocks and backs.

Lee: a study by the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom shows that the vast majority of couples adopt the “back-to-back” sleeping posture rather than the “face-to-face” one. This kind of sleeping posture without a sense of oppression and restraint is actually the best sleeping posture. But proper physical contact can increase intimacy.

Disadvantages: completely keeping a distance back to back can easily lead to a situation of competing for quilts, leading to one or even both catching cold. Moreover, for a partner with emotional problems, if he keeps this sleeping posture for a long time, he is likely to dissipate all his remaining enthusiasm.

the fourth type: face-to-face

Lovers face each other, or like mirror images, with space in the middle and no touch; Or their limbs are intertwined and they are very intimate.

Lee: this posture is conducive to intimate contact between lovers, such as kissing and hugging. Moreover, it is more suitable for both sides to communicate and have in-depth exchanges so as to preserve their feelings.

Cons: Although this posture is very romantic and intimate, it shows that both parties are dependent on each other. This dependence is not necessarily a good thing for feelings. Moreover, if one party has bad sleep habits such as breathing or snoring, it will affect the sleep quality of the other party. If the distance is too close, you may breathe the carbon dioxide exhaled by the other party, which is not conducive to your health.

the fifth type: free style

Or one side lies on his back, the other side lies on his side or sleeps by pressing his chest; Or one person sleeps at the head of the bed and one person sleeps at the end of the bed; Or one person sleeps in a “big” shape, and one person is squeezed to the corner; wait. In short, their sleeping posture is irregular.

Lee: this kind of indefinite sleeping posture can let you sleep freely, find the most comfortable posture, and ensure sleep comfort.

Con: it’s just a disastrous night for the space occupied side. It may be that you are sleeping, but your partner can’t sleep at night because of the narrow space or your oppression, which is not conducive to physical and mental health.

(I don’t quite understand why a single Wang of mine wrote such cruel articles…)

In fact, from the perspective of health, “back-to-back” and “follow-up” sleeping positions are relatively healthier, followed by freestyle. However, when the human body is asleep, it will unconsciously choose the most comfortable sleeping position. Therefore, the suggestion is that you can hug and chat before going to bed, but when you are ready to go to bed, try to avoid those romantic sleeping positions that are harmful to your body and mind (pillow arm sleep, chest pressure sleep, etc.), and have a good sleep with your lover!
