A Pain in my Neck


I slept for a really long time last night and it was rather comfortable. But when I woke up this morning I had a bad pain in my neck. I could not really turn my head left nor right which is quite painful. So I decided to do some research on neck pains because I'm a very curious fellow. I stumbled upon this site by the name of midweek.com where they told me about neck pains and sleeping.
It turned out that my neck pain was caused by poor sleeping posture. I know what you are about to say. "Well duh" i sort of figured that out but what was the most startling realization was the effects that it may have on me.
It turned out that the most proper way to sleep was on your back . This is so because it retains and support your spine. I'm a side sleeper so I lay on my sides preferably my right. Although this is still good it still has some faults. Sleeping on your sides may cause your back to curve which would tamper with your spine. If you don't know anything about your spine is that it is one of the most important bones of your body since it contains or is the main channel to your nervous system. So any defaults would have you looking funny and thinking funny.
The best thing to do is to make sure and stack pillows under your head so that your head would not be tilted up nor slanted down. Also keep a pillow between your legs so that your pelvic girdle would not be damaged
For those of you who are belly sleepers I'm so sorry for you but the best thing to do is to stop sleeping on your stomach.
When you sleep on your stomach you cut off a lot of blood that goes to your head since your head is facing up. You also damage your nervous system and your spinal chord. You would not know when your spinal chord is damaged because it does not have pain sensors so be very careful. If you happen to have pain in your neck you can use ice or the better thing to do would be to use a warm cloth. The symptoms of improper sleeping practice are neck and shoulder pains, dizziness, numbness and tingling in your arms and legs.

WHAT THE ANCIENT GUYS BELIEVED

The Egyptians believed that dreams were signs from the gods.
Also Greek philosophers thought that dreaming had something to do with the stars.

I would not argue with religion or prophecy but please be sensible
If you get a dream tonight about God telling you to jump off a cliff or building or blow up yourself I hope you think it through

Did you hear about my brother who slept with his head under the pillow?
When he woke up, he discovered the fairies had taken all his teeth!

What has four legs, but only one foot?
A bed.

How do you sleep, tell us what was your experience with neck pains.
