Log Position: Straight Side Sleeping (4/7)

The log position involves sleeping on your side with both arms down and legs extended. This variation of side sleeping offers some unique benefits.

Benefits of the log position:

• Maintains spinal alignment better than the fetal position
• May reduce snoring
• Can help alleviate lower back pain

Potential drawbacks:

• May cause shoulder pain if arm positioning isn’t optimal
• Can lead to facial wrinkles over time due to pillow contact

Pro Tip : To enhance comfort in this position, use a pillow that keeps your head aligned with your spine and consider a body pillow for additional support.
