Attention seniors: sleeping like this could increase your risk of stroke

3 positions to know (and their effects)

Position	Risks	Potential benefits
On his back, head too high	Oxygen deficiency, unstable blood pressure	Temporary comfort
On your stomach	Neck tension, restricted breathing	Less snoring in some
On the left side	Improved circulation and digestion	Recommended for reflux

Changing your sleep habits doesn’t happen overnight, but a few simple steps can already make all the difference:

Sleep on your left side: this improves circulation and limits acid reflux.
Use an ergonomic pillow: to keep your head properly aligned with your spine.
Slightly elevate your torso (not just your head) if you suffer from snoring or mild sleep apnea.
Place a pillow between your knees if you sleep on your side: this helps to align the hips and relieve joint pain.
