On Your Back

• Slip a small pillow under your knees to take pressure off of your back. • Use a pillow that keeps your head in a neutral position to reduce neck strain.

Fetal Position

• Avoid the fetal position while sleeping

On Your Stomach

• Avoid this position when possible. • Puts unwanted pressure on your neck and lower back. • Can lead to sleep-related pain.

On Your Side

• The most popular sleeping position. • Avoid tucking in your chin and the fetal position. • Keep your thighs aligned with your torso. • Switching sides can help reduce imbalances.
