Sleeping on your stomach may feel cozy, but it’s often one of the most challenging positions for your body. While it can provide certain short-term benefits—like reducing snoring or helping some people fall asleep faster—the long-term effects are not always favorable.
One of the primary concerns is spinal alignment. When you lie face-down, your back is forced into an unnatural curve, which can strain muscles and lead to chronic lower back pain. At the same time, your neck is twisted to the side for hours, putting pressure on nerves and muscles, often resulting in stiffness, tension, or morning headaches.
