Choose a hard surface to sleep on
We all know very well that without a fully functioning backbone our body cannot move. A bad sleeping posture may affect spine and the connecting organs. In order to keep the digestive and circulatory systems of the body in a good condition, your spine must rest in a straight posture.
A solid roller for a pillow
A solid roller instead of a pillow is a more appropriate option for one’s health. Japanese believe a person experiencing neck scoliosis indicates that there are some health issues that need immediate action. A hard roller will make you feel uncomfortable for a couple of days but keeping it under your 3rd and 4th vertebrae every day will prevent tensed neck muscles.
