2nd short from this channel I've seen. Both tell me this is a bad sleeping position and offer no alternative. Top notch content.

[Xxxxxrrr]

Must be hard to sleep when somebody peeled all the skin off your body

As a physical therapist I have to ask... where is the data backing up this baseless claim that sleeping on your stomach will damage your body?? If it starts hurting to sleep like this then change positions but in the meantime please sleep however you want

[pattyenglish]

I'm 39, diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis in my late 20s. I've been a side sleeper, sleeping in the same side position this guy has identified as the "perfect sleep position" with a pillow between my knees, since I was a kid. All the parts of my body that he said will hurt in this position (in the video), currently hurt and keep me from sleeping a full night. I just started sleeping in this position, about a year ago because it's the only position that has given me any relief in my hip. I have a big body pillow I put my arm over and rest my shoulder against and this gives relief to my shoulder.

Maybe make a video on how to correct it?

The way I’m sleeping is wrong. The way I’m walking is wrong, the way I’m taking a #2 is wrong. The way I’m typing is wrong, the way I’m sitting down is wrong.

Anybody else see a trend here?

The thing people forget about is even if you fall asleep in this position, you will move throughout the night into different positions... Even if you fall asleep in the "correct" position, you will most likely not wake up that way in the morning

[hollywoodkbbadstepdad]

Thanks for telling me the correct way to sleep

Last time I checked, scientific evidence shows we change position naturally several times when sleeping and the position doesn't matter. Do you have the sources that back up your claims?

I’m 66, and I have slept on my stomach my whole life. The only occasional pain I have is from a bulging disk at L5 I injured in my early twenties playing baseball. ( it is mild and I just move to the other side). I swim a mile 3-4 times a week, play tennis 2-3 times a week, lift weights 3 times a week, stretch everyday, do core exercises most days. By the way I can still serve a tennis ball 120mph. No shoulder pain.
Now who are you going to take advice from a book taught 30 something YouTuber, or somebody with 66 years of experience.
There are pluses and minuses with all sleeping positions. Do what works for you, if you get uncomfortable move to a new position. Stretching, diet, and exercise is far more important than sleeping positions.

[grethi]

you just broke my heart. so how are we supposed to fix this?? I've slept like this all my life

[LaurenHuddleston-opbx]

Fuck that. That position is the comfiest position I’ve ever been in ever in my entire life and I don’t care if it kills me !

[iheartlilly]

I love this sleeping position... im already having pain in these areas GREAT.

[DigitalPlacebo]

About to turn 49. been doing this my whole life. Not going to stop now. And I feel great.

[Vio-mxzu]

I'm only 35 and the pains are there because of this sleeping position

[iWillRun_]

People maybe making fun of you but what you’re telling is valuable information.

I don’t understand why people saying it’s comfy. Yeah eating icecream is also enjoyable does it makes that good, daily icecream = Bad gut health

Thankyou

[chidinmaeze]

So wat the best position to sleep because am already 21 going to 22 and I have pain already around the neck hip and ribs

[sandywieringa]

Shoulder issues from skiing accident 25 years ago, S.I. issues from car accident 30 years ago, and hip pain from spending the last 20 years standing on asphalt at least 8 hrs a day. This is the only comfortable way for me to get any sleep!

[thenexus]

Heres the issue, I Physically can NOT fall asleep any other way, I however fold my pillow so its covering my neck and what not tho.

[isabelaguzei]

I am now 37 and I sleep comfortably in this position for as long as I can remember. And will do so "until I hit 60 or 70"😂😂😂
