⁠​⁠​⁠Life changing! I was already sleeping in the dreamer position among others. So I decided to take the challenge and eliminated the other positions except the soldier to see what would happen. What happened was that the chronic lower back pain that I’ve been experiencing for years DRAMATICALLY improved literally overnight. Nothing I have ever done has helped me this much. Thank you so much for this!

[@dianemccabe9907]

I have changed my life style! I excercise everyday, rain or shine, eat real food and have started to strength train and I'm 68! Most of my friends say they are not doing this. But I have had influence on some of them! My son's noticed that when I came to visit that they could not keep up with me and now they have both lost nearly 100 lbs. Each! They are in their 30's. They have made changes in their lives too! That makes me so happy cause I was really worried about them. Sometimes you gotta walk the walk and show them it can be done. I don't want them to die before I do.... When they see you change they think hey maybe I can make a change too! It really helps if you can all work on it together!!!

[@CibitiPro]

Your comment cuts straight to the point. Sleep position is indeed crucial for overall health and comfort. It’s fascinating how something as simple as a pillow can make a huge difference in our quality of sleep and consequently, our daily lives. This TEDx talk may be lengthy, but the insight it offers could potentially transform the way many approach their rest and recovery.

[@nilasschneekloth2758]

Best Tedtalker I've ever seen, legends laying on the floor with his head on a pillow, throwing a shoulder look back at the slide to speaking as if he was teaching his Childs

[@Liberteabelle]

I’ve been preaching sleep position to family, friends (and strangers if I see them in pain) for 30 years. I have been fine tuning my sleeping position over these years throughout the whole time. First to fix a numb arm, then lower right back pain, recent arthritic hand pain, etc. So I was SO PLEASED to see someone else taking this seriously! People need to pay attention- not just when they are old! A couple of my findings: * Yes the dreamer position works for me too, but I find I do not need a pillow between the knees as long as I keep my knees together. * I keep a long thick pillow (like 12” depth) in front and back of me, pulled in tight next to me. In this way I can balance my arm along the top and not let it fall forward and pinch a nerve thus causing arm numbness. I have not had that problem recur in 30 years. * Pushing the pillow up against my back is like sleeping on a couch - it gives you back support and keeps your spine straight. The reason I keep a pillow on either side is so I can easily flip over to the other side and keep the pillows lined up. The pillow on either side also helped me TRAIN myself to stay in position while I was asleep. Yes! You CAN train yourself, I promise! You do not have to wake up in pain!

[@CibitiPro]

Your dedication to perfecting your sleep position is impressive and inspiring. It's a testament to how small adjustments can have significant, long-term impacts on our health. Your detailed strategy, especially the use of pillows for support and alignment, is a valuable lesson in proactive self-care. It’s a reminder that understanding our bodies and experimenting with solutions can lead to lasting relief and better sleep quality.

[@Liberteabelle]

@@CibitiPro Thanks!

[@Liberteabelle]

@@CibitiPro Have you discovered any sleep position habits that are helpful? I’m always interested!

[@CibitiPro]

@@Liberteabelle Your dedication to optimizing sleep positions is inspiring and clearly beneficial. Here are a few additional sleep position habits and tips that might complement your findings: Adjustable Bed Bases: These can help you fine-tune your sleep posture by elevating your head and/or legs to reduce pressure points and improve circulation. It’s especially useful for conditions like sleep apnea, acid reflux, or swelling in the legs. Body Pillow for Full Support: A full-length body pillow can support your entire body, providing alignment for the spine and reducing the need for multiple pillows. It can help prevent your arm from falling forward and maintain a neutral spine position. Head Pillow Positioning: Ensuring that your head pillow is the right thickness and firmness can prevent neck strain. For side sleepers, the pillow should fill the space between your neck and the mattress. For back sleepers, a thinner pillow helps maintain proper alignment. Mattress Firmness: The firmness of your mattress plays a crucial role in supporting your sleep position. A mattress that is too soft can cause your body to sink, leading to misalignment, while a mattress that is too firm can create pressure points. Finding a mattress that balances support and comfort is key. Temperature Regulation: Using breathable pillows and mattresses or adding a cooling mattress pad can help regulate your body temperature, leading to a more comfortable and uninterrupted sleep. Ergonomic Assessment: Occasionally reassessing your sleep setup can help you make adjustments as your body changes over time. Regularly check the condition of your mattress and pillows, replacing them when they no longer provide adequate support. Mindful Relaxation Techniques: Incorporating gentle stretches or relaxation techniques before bed can help reduce tension and improve overall sleep quality. Practices like yoga or progressive muscle relaxation can be particularly beneficial. Wedge Pillow for Elevated Sleep: If you suffer from respiratory issues or acid reflux, a wedge pillow can elevate your upper body, reducing symptoms and improving breathing. Your method of using pillows to train yourself to maintain a specific position is excellent and shows that with consistency and the right tools, we can significantly improve our sleep quality and overall health. Thank you for sharing your insights; they add valuable depth to the ongoing conversation about the importance of sleep hygiene.

[@Liberteabelle]

@@CibitiPro I ❤️ this, and appreciate YOUR caring and expertise too! I only mentioned a few, but agree with all your suggestions! I will eventually get an adjustable bed because I have occasional ankle issues (5 surgeries) and need to elevate it. Plus I agree on that for heartburn and congestion. I am incredibly picky on pillow selection, agree with you. I easily get ear cartilage pain from sleeping on my side and my ear presses hard into the pillow. So I “dig” a divot in my pillow for my ear, lol. So I tend to get a soft medium pillow that’s cheap, then replace it every 3-6 months. My 2 side pillows are, for me, basically body pillows although they are really exceptionally thick king sized pillows.

[@TheFPSChannel]

It’s talks like these that make me truly appreciate the well prepared, well constructed , well rehearsed TED talks.

[@jentommyontheroad8089]

Yep! Been the dreamer on one side or the other since I had the first hip replacement in 2017 and now with a wedge pillow (for acid reflux) with a hole for my arm. I sleep great now! No more reflux and wake up feeling refreshed!

[@kelmac1618]

I have that fancy pillow too! Life changing!!!

[@CibitiPro]

Your experience highlights how tailored adjustments, like the wedge pillow, can solve multiple issues simultaneously. It’s a great example of how we can adapt our sleep environment to address specific health concerns, leading to better sleep and overall well-being. Your story is a reminder that personalized solutions can often provide the most effective relief.

[@Liberteabelle]

@@CibitiPro Soooo true!

[@P0Lak2012]

A bed is a gamechanger

[@JesúsAbel_MatImagin]

This topic is important to us because maintaining a correct sleeping position has several benefits. I believe that the best option is to sleep on your side. Specifically, you should rest on your left side, allowing your left cheek and body to rest on the bed. This position helps improve blood circulation. Finally, I would like to emphasize the following sentence: “It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality.”

[@bepeach4140]

[@kaqkaq-qj5id]

today is a day when i will try this 2 methodics of sleeping, i think it is gonna work cause once my tutor share this methodics. but i always used to think that it doesn't really matter because it feels uncomfortable. i found this video and watched it for my IELTS listening exam practice. but i understand something that i really needed. maybe in the future, i will find many videos like this, and it is gonna change my life forever. thanks a lot and Hi from Kazakhstan!!!))

[@brianlambertp.t.6499]

I found your talk very interesting. Kids don't have to sleep in any particular position to get a great night's sleep. As we get older, most of us don't maintain the mobility that were had when we were younger. Some mobility is lost due to simple aging but most is lost because we don't work to maintain it. I think that most adults have spinal, pelvic, and hip mobility issues that necessitates sleeping with our spines an hips aligned. I've had good success getting my clients more comfortable by simply getting the body working as close to the way mother nature intended as we can.

[@wadeneumann4959]

well, I tried it.. WOW! holy moly what a great sleep! Thanks James.

[@ItchyKneeSon]

5+ years working at UPS in a hub and I always slept on my back, legs crossed, arms on my torso and never had issues. Now, I tend to sleep more on my right as I heard it's better for digestion. If you pay attention, these things seem to reveal themselves to you. Wild.

[@VidathWickramasinghe]

I had a very bad sleeping habbits about 3 months ago but after i studied about good sleeping habbits now i get a better sleep. i think this video will be a help too. good content . thank you sir. 😊

[@JoshuaCabanillasLSC]

What did you do if I may ask?

[@kludgescraftsplus8631]

The biggest problem I have with any of these including the soldier, which I sleep in, is the inclusion of a pillow for back sleeping. If you were to look at the soldier with his neck on the pillow from the side you'd see his head was stretched upwards. This will cause pain. The back of the head should be on the same plane as the rest of the body. A small pillow should be placed under the neck to keep the head from falling from one side to the other and focus the gaze on the ceiling. The only safe way to use a typical pillow on your back is to scoot up until your shoulders are also on the pillow. This tapers the angle onto your back and away from your neck. I have a series of pillows that I have fabricated changing designs. The most recent version which I sleep with the most often, allows me to sleep on my back primarily but have a pillow for my head on both sides of short time I spend in dreamer. I have lower back issues and I have since I was a child slept on hard floor on my back was acting up to straighten things out. The best change to that ever was to get my head on the floor as well.

[@shellybeau2006]

Thank you! I have real problems sleeping and pain issues. I feel much better by putting my shoulders on the pillow, not just my head. So simple and yet it didn't occur to me. Great advice. I can't seem to get the side sleeping position down pat.

[@JohnAllenRoyce]

Good advice, glad you mentioned the issue with soldier position. I had neck pain before but a few years ago I got a feather pillow and after it compressed I could basically put my head flat with the "cushioning" coming up around it. Really comfortable and no neck pain.

[@JK_JK_JK_JK]

I like listening to ASMR videos on KZbin! 🥱 Its just basically people whispering in your ear! It helps relax me and make me sleep! 💤😴🛌🏻

[@ericroman9126]

I've been the soldier and the hedgehog forever. I've dropped the latter for the dreamer. And it probably sounds lame but truly my dreams last longer. Body aching doesn't disrupt my sleep as much as before.

[@Rosa_Ellah]

It makes a lot of sense now. I've been feeling empty and my mental health is just deteriorating, all because of sleep. And that problem has been going on for a couple of years now. I'm still a teenager so this is taking a toll on my studies. How sad...

[@imperatort1]

I had the same problem as a teenager, it solved itself after a time, but try some sport going out with friends, reading, swimming whatever some hobby that makes you happy. And dont stress too much you r still young

[@Rosa_Ellah]

One important fact that James Leinhardt forgot to mention is your bed mattress matters. Soft mattresses will make you sink in and create back pain. What we need is a firm mattress

[@the3cl3ctic]

[@williamhicks558]

[@ElizabethHeywood-hk3bo]

Carry on with the good work James, you really are making a difference 😊

[@LinzDubNZ]

I've never really thought much about this, and never really had much pain. I sleep somewhere between the dreamer and hedgehog position, but what's the pillow for? I also sleep solidly for about 6 hours, and wake up refreshed and pain-free most mornings. Sleeping 8 hours makes me groggy, but surely everyone is different. If I go to be earlier I wake up earlier. So I'm not sure I'm going to get much from this talk. And btw, I'm 75 years old.

[@jobicek]

You mean the pillow between legs? I used to stuff blanket between my legs as a child to eliminate hot spot between my knees (I guess ankles as well, too long ago). It allows you to place one leg on top of the other. I was skinny. Knees pressed together by weight of the upper leg wasn't comfortable. And especially for women, it fills the gap created by wider hips. PS: That's why other similar postures don't have knees on top of each other. Which is always going to result in some kind of twisting of the pelvis. The idea is to be as relaxed as you can. Too straight or too curled up and something is unnecessarily stretched and kept stretched.

[@stanlystanly9964]

For all the people with back and low back pain- buy yourself a top matrass and sleep on the floor. Do it for 10 days and come back to my comment and curse me or praise me...

[@stanlymark1495]

[@packlife4245]

[@arothmanmusic]

At 12:42 there's a diagram. Sleep in one of those two positions. That's the whole talk.

[@allonszenfantsjones]

Post ORIF here. My PT pretty much said I can sleep anyway I want. She called a 'sloppy sleeping'. All of the components that go into successful sleep kind of got mushed in this talk. I mean there's screen time before going to bed, there's comfy mattress there's too hot too cold, you have to empty your bladder, try not to argue just before you go to sleep. None of that is addressed so all I have is anecdotal evidence. One of the things I don't worry about is if I feel like I have to take a nap during the day I am totally fine with that. Whatever works! No judgement! As a sidebar I don't get the sitting in a chair 'comfy' thing. I can meditate sitting upright for an hour and a half easily. Sit absolutely still with occasional minor neck pain, which actually is worse if you focus on it; the more you simply observe it and don't fight with it, the less of a problem it is.

[@jayachandranthampi4807]

Erect spine is the common factor in all 3 fundamental positions (lying down, standing or sitting). Standing alerts the core muscles of back & abdomen to work against gravity (actually supportive in function, so that you can Act in a controlled way). Lying down is same, however, spine is Horizontal & that makes effect of gravity different & kind of diffused (pro gravity). This loosens cortical grip (voluntary muscles) and we go into lucid state & then to sleep. Sitting it's, in between the two. Thus you could remain in lucid state (meditative) and mind can Act, while body (voluntary) is minimally dominant. Sleep is an "off" state, like heart's dilation state. Here body is more focused on elimination (venous return). Thus making the Mind in the lucid sub conscious state to Unconscious. Even this if prolonged is bad (like death / degenerative). So flexed legs (like sitting) & on side (flat on back is a totally supported spine / back muscles - it's like "Dis - Eased" state). To prevent internal rotation of thigh, pillow is used (ie, like keeping the hip bone steady as if in sitting). Thus Sleep is a Natural meditative Pose to "Posture" our Life ahead....A controlled memory management action. World is "Form" & Name - Body & Mind. In sleep, we lose self (Egoistic Mind with Name) & we in a way become universe as the process itself (person is lost)....thus we recharge by sleeping alert....

Only when my Cats headbutt me I change from a twisted pretzel to soldier position and my neck stops hurting. Thank You for showing people what the corrupt money making industries don't want people to know.

Does anyone from TEDx Talks verifies the content of the presentations? This one could've been one simple infographic

[@CibitiPro]

The simplicity of an infographic could indeed convey the basic points, but the depth of personal experience and scientific context in these presentations often provides a richer understanding. TEDx Talks aim to blend information with narrative to make the content engaging and memorable, sometimes at the expense of brevity.

[@tomato-v8x]

A professor teaching metabolic pathways could easily give students a massive poster on all the metabolic pathways in the human body and how each pathway connects with the other. The students will then be able to identify the reactants and products during each process. Will the poster suffice? Sure. But does the poster give students the breadth and understanding that they need to learn as opposed to a full lecture series? No.

[@DanDascalescu-dandv]

@@tomato-v8x I don't think the analogy holds. All you need to know about how to sleep in a better posture is which posture that is. Metabolism is ridiculously more complicated than that.

[@halhansen778]

The early days of Ted Talks were different. I read a story about them in Forbes, a bunch of academics sitting around the room, all talking about the best video presentations they ever saw, and they posted them. Instant viral, before the term was coined, and they decided they had to produce more content - so that’s what modern TED talk is. Not necessarily the best you’ve ever seen, but they need to generate 100 per year.

[@dianagusprioutomo5870]

Nice explanation and simple practice.. Thanks a lot...

[@frozeneternity93]

The editing of this could use some reconsidered. He is referring to the slide he is talking about several times and we can't see it has its no onlong on the screen. Very frustrating

[@Trusted_Advisor]

I like the dreamer position but with the head slightly tilted down - allows for freer breathing and any nose drainage to escape and less chance of snoring. Like a face plant but your face is on the edge of the pillow and not touching the mattress. I'd like to see this topic more thoroughly covered - the role of a long pillow perhaps to keep you from moving to a bad position. Etc. Sleeping positions 201 and 202 please?

[@janestewart4667]

I have read the left side is better for you to sleep than right side due to the position of the heart and GI system. Thoughts?

[@nizamajmal]

Hi. The left lateral position as per a few studies, are better than right. But if you have an enlarged liver due to any conditions (which i hope you don't) sleeping on your right will be better so that the heavy boggy liver will not compress the heart substantially.

[@janestewart4667]

@@nizamajmal all organs are good thank you! Makes sense. I always feel better when sleeping on my back or left side. Take care.

[@WildFireYoga]

Yes but, if you have an pattern of hyper engaging one side of your obliques or quadratus lumborum and pulling your ribcage down and to one side then laying in the provocative posture can help invite breath into the tense ribs. If you over fixate on being symmetrical those misalignments could go on forever and you never access the finer muscles of rotation of the spine because you're stuck in the larger support muscles. The most important thing is to make your tailbone heavy, your skull heavy, and allow every segment of the spine to follow suit. This has been my Ted talk lol

[@WolvoGaming-mx1xo]

Amazing thanks for the info

[@RCnerd74]

What about changing sleep position while sleeping? No control about your position during the whole night. Or you don't sleep at all...

I'm a LFC supporter but Trafford is the only Manchester side we recognize 😂😂

[@Shakirhyderabadi]

amazed by how it was taught in my childhood by my parents as it was recommended in the religion by the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to sleep like this, before going to bed we need to pray and exactly sleep like this had been doing since then now 48 alhamdulillah.

The best position is your next position. As the baddest thing can be done, is staying to long in a single position.
