Starfish Position: Open and Free (6/7)

The starfish position involves lying on your back with arms and legs spread out, resembling a starfish. While less common, this position has its own set of pros and cons.

Benefits of the starfish position:

  • Allows for even weight distribution, potentially reducing pressure points
  • May help prevent facial wrinkles
  • Can be beneficial for people with shoulder or hip pain

Potential drawbacks:

  • May exacerbate snoring and sleep apnea
  • Can strain lower back if not properly supported

Pro Tip : To optimize this position, use a thin pillow to support your neck and consider placing a small pillow under your knees to maintain the natural curve of your spine.
