Back pain can make sleeping a challenge. By making simple changes in your sleeping position, you can take strain off your back.<\/p>\n<p>If you sleep on your side, draw your legs up slightly toward your chest and put a pillow between your legs.<\/p>\n<p>Flexing your knees and having a pillow between your legs can help align your spine, pelvis and hips. This position takes pressure off your spine. Use a full-length body pillow if you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>If you sleep on your back, place a pillow under your knees. This may help relax your back muscles and maintain the curve of your lower back. If you need additional support, try a small, rolled towel under your waist.<\/p>\n<p>Support your neck with a pillow. Your pillow should keep your neck in alignment with your chest and back.<\/p>\n<p>Sleeping on your stomach can be hard on your back. Try other sleeping positions if possible.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t sleep any other way, reduce back strain by placing a pillow under your hips and lower stomach. Use a pillow under your head if it doesn&#8217;t place too much strain on your back.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avoid aggravating back pain while you sleep.
