Good pillow

summary

I usually have such a feeling: when I wake up, I suddenly find that my neck is too stiff to move, and my back aches and pains all over my body. I've been sleeping all night. How can I sleep more and more tiredly? If you have similar experience, then you need to carefully check whether your pillow conforms to the physiological radian of the human neck.

Good pillow

First: the shape of the pillow: the problem on the pillow: the cervical spine is located at the top of the human spine, wrapped in the neck, and composed of seven vertebrae. The so-called physiological curve is a smooth, forward facing arc formed by the seven vertebrae. The function of the pillow is to maintain this normal physiological curve. How to maintain a normal physiological radian depends on whether you are really clear in choosing the height, hardness and size of the pillow.

Second: the height of the pillow: the height of the pillow also varies from person to person. Although there is an old saying "have a good rest", it is not that the higher the pillow, the better. Because the pillow is too high, no matter what position to sleep, will affect sleep, can not maintain the normal cervical lordosis, but will be backward, which will increase the burden of cervical spine, and may also produce the phenomenon of stiff neck. Similarly, too low pillow is not good, because too low pillow will make the head congested, easy to cause eyelids and facial edema.

Third: the hardness of the pillow: the hardness of the pillow, which is also appropriate to moderate. Because of the hard pillow, the contact area with the head decreases, the pressure increases, the scalp will feel uncomfortable; conversely, the pillow is too soft, it is difficult to maintain a certain height, which will lead to cervical muscle fatigue and affect the smooth breathing, which is not conducive to sleep. Only if it is a little softer and does not lose certain hardness, can it reduce the pressure between the pillow and the scalp, and maintain uneven pressure, so that the blood circulation can pass through the place with less pressure, and maintain a certain height.

matters needing attention

The width of the pillow under normal circumstances, it is better to be wider than the shoulder, do not sleep too small pillow, because when you turn over, the pillow can not support the neck, in addition, too small pillow will affect the sense of security during sleep.
