We spend 1/3 of our life sleeping. Unfortunately most people are sleeping incorrectly damaging the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and discs of the spine.
Good Day Dr. Mandell, thank you for your informative videos. Because I snore, my family got me trained to sleep on my stomach, so I was quieter. As a result I frequently have neck and hip pain upon waking. I want to sleep on my back. I was tested for sleep Apnea many years ago and told I don’t have it, but have heard that back sleeping,Β is be dangerous for those who snore; stop breathing etc.. Any thoughts on this? Best Regards.
Hello! I have a question. Do you think memory foam is bad for you? I’m wanting to try sleeping on the floor again but I’m wondering if memory foam topper would be not good for me to use on the floor. Please let me know! Thank you π
I’m 25 and I been sleeping on the floor sense I was 16. And first 2 months are tough but after that I been good. Plus I have more space in my room. More room in my room.
One question here: Im a 5.9 foot long male and have a quite big but compared to my body (ex football player here:Z). I have to put many pillows under my knees in order to make the arch in my back straighter, and the it feels quite comfortable after the knees are elevated around one feet above the ground. The problem is that my tailbone or coccyx is still in touch with the ground and after a few hours it hurts and I wake up to the pain and have to lie on my side. Do you have any conclusions? Should I begin using a matress again? Right now Im using a yoga mat on a carpet.
I have a yoga mat, I’m gonna try sleeping on that for a while. I’m also using a makeshift standing desk I made out of a wall mounted shelf (basically a piece of wood with mounting brackets) and a vesa mounted monitor.
The next step is to train myself to squat instead of sitting and I’ll be hunting tigers with a spear in no time!
Hi maybe someone can can relate to my situation. I always sleep on my side on a mattress. I want to sleep like this but i just cant fall asleep on my back. Whether its kn the floor or on a mattress, i just cannot fall asleep on my back. Does anyone have had the same issue or any tips? Thx

HI dear, better to get off the back and onto the side. If you’re going to stay on the back lay up on an incline
What about when you bring a girl home
Can we talk about how long this guys neck is?
Homeless people must have great posture!

I sleep on the floor every single night, plus I’m a vegan. Everywhere I look I see sick people, but really its just a lack of education. I’m gifted.
Josh Bodnar eating meat don’t make you sick tho
Cool! This is such a neglected area of spinal health and more vital than ever these days.
What if I sleep on my belly ?
You get no support in the curves of your back when you’re on the floor.
but i’d imagine for people who like to sleep on their side a soft mattress is better than a hard floor?
