[@Healthyconsumer]

Thanks so much for watching. Let me think about how I could present that. If others are interested in this, please like the original poster's comment!

[@joanbraunstein1679]

I listened to this video after I went to bed, got up and switched out my pillow for a towel and slept better than I have for a long time. I even dreamed, which is a rarity. Thanks for this, and I look forward to more videos.

[@Healthyconsumer]

Woooohooo!!! I love hearing this. Nothing like a good night's sleep, right? Keep us in the loop how it goes over the next week.

[@thisguysgaming7246]

Thank you I’ve been having a spine problem when I tried sleeping

[@quispcereal380]

I have kyphosis and wake up at least 10 times a night with an achy neck and shoulders, I've bought 2 new beds in the last 4 years, and exchanged 2 others, all of them are this horrible memory (sinking) foam. I will be buying a firm inner spring mattress tomorrow but these towels might help too. I am horribly sleep deprived and looking forward to using these towels.

[@Healthyconsumer]

Let us know how it goes, Leah!

[@lovemac509]

Leah Camp Tempur mattresses are good 👍

[@Kevin-ms9eb]

Have you considered strength training for you posture to realign your body? Working at a desk or constantly sitting, causes rounded shoulders which creates that kyphosis. You probably have inactive lower trapezius and a tight chest.

[@strangeboss247]

I thought spring are not good for side sleepers?

[@andygomez0206]

Thank you, I will try this and see. Lately I've been more tire when I wake up than befero I went to sleep

[@Healthyconsumer]

Cheers to your health, friend!

[@smallick100]

I was waiting for this video. Thank you, it's very helpful!

[@Healthyconsumer]

You are very welcome! Thanks for being a viewer!

[@willgarrison5075]

The thing that sucks about being a side sleeper is I have to roll over every so often because one side starts to hurt after a while

[@ms1295]

Thanks for sharing these tips, Chris! What about ppl who have to switch between sleeping on their back and their side throughout the night? What would work for both positions?

[@Mark-xx9by]

Awesome video thank you. I suffer from a very bad lower back. I think your tips will be helpful.Thank you. 😉👍🏻

[@Healthyconsumer]

I hope it helps, Mark! Let us know how it goes.

[@Mark-xx9by]

Dr. Chris Sovey hey sorry Chris it took me so long to get back to you. I am a new be at being on line. Great videos. Thank you.

[@Chris-tf7rm]

The one thing about side sleeping that bothers me is what to do with the shoulder you're lying on. If you dont put it out in front of you, you crush it with your bodyweight. If you do put it out in fron of you, youre ingraining forward shoulder positioning and twisting. If you absolutely have to sleep on your side, what's the best position for the shoulder you're lying on?

[@BrianLeevoice]

I'm trying this tonight. First video I've seen to address the bottom shoulder this way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZuqf2t9odOVe9k

[@saibirina]

I'll try it! I have a lot of spinal problems

[@Healthyconsumer]

+saibirina let us know how it goes!

[@RioTube]

great video again, thanks chris! is sleeping on my stomach bad? i rarely do but i do sometimes when my neck gets tired when sleeping on my back or side.

[@Healthyconsumer]

+Rio LA I think the better question is why does your neck get "tired?" Have you looked at your alignment? Do you have a neck injury? We can't always control how we sleep and occasional stomach sleeping isn't so bad. Not desirable long term for most people.

[@TheLittlestcrow]

I'm sleeping on a tempurpedic adjustable bed. I can adjust it but at this point find the flat position best. I'm a side sleeper and I am trying to figure out how not to have so much pressure on my shoulder. I have almost every kind of pillow for my neck that I rotate depending on what my body finds comfortable. I also sleep with a pillow between my knees and one on top of me to rest my free arm on. Will towels work to support me on this type of bed? How can I get the pressure of my shoulder? I do also have a body pillow I might try again to prevent the twisting, I tend to roll the top leg forward. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!!

[@BrianLeevoice]

Here's the first video I've seen to address the shoulder problem, which I'm going to try tonight: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZuqf2t9odOVe9k

[@Teresahorner]

THanks I'll get towels out mow and see if I can do, I'm having shoulder n neck problems and got kyposis, and had ANV where my hip bone died n just got a hip replacement so trying to wrk different parts for now until I can exercise better. God bless I'm gonna subscribe

[@Healthyconsumer]

Sorry to hear about your hip and posture struggles, Teresa. I try to offer similar simple tips for improving your posture and strength/flexibility like this every Wednesday. Cheers to your health!

[@Teresahorner]

Dr. Chris Sovey. Thanks you. Cheer btw. I did get my pillows n did subscribe

[@Healthyconsumer]

Sounds like a great idea. Let me consult with my colleague. She's more knowledgeable in this area than me. Please like Daw Daw's comment if others are interested in this idea as well.

[@inventamus]

There should be a towel below armpit. Best to sleep in back.

[@Healthyconsumer]

Yes, if I could redo this, I’d actually put a body pillow in front .

[@tkucey8689]

physically impossible to relax body with stacked shoulders / hips in alignment because once your body goes limp you are naturally going to slump forwards or backwards.

[@Healthyconsumer]

+Tanya Kucey not true. Use a body pillow to hug in front of you if you cannot control a forward progression of the upper body.

[@mikkareads]

To be honest: we must have different definitions for "effortless"...

[@ArtePlays]

0:56 put my spine back wtf
