Interesting article discussing necessity of proper posture in bed! I'm surely going to give this one a shot first chance I get (tonight!).
Whether you’re in bed, on a cot, or on the floor, the key is to lengthen your spine. You touch ground with your sacrum, lay your palms on the ground, and slowly lower yourself back, taking care to actively lengthen your spine – vertebrae by vertebrae – by pushing through your hands. The result is an oddly awkward feeling; you really do feel longer than normal. It takes a few minutes to get used to it, but it’s an incredibly comfortable way to lie down. The first time I tried it, I fell asleep (inadvertently) in ten minutes. In fact, her method of “long lying” was my biggest takeaway from the book, simply because I wasn’t expecting to learn how to lie down. Posture? Yeah, I see how modern posture is dysfunctional, but I figured lying down was pretty basic stuff that no one could mess up. My sleep is better than ever since adopting her method of lying down. I no longer have to find the sweet spot to get my joints aligned and my spine supported. I am the sweet spot.
I believe what he's eluding to is to not curl up like a ball in bed but rather to stretch / elongate your body as much as possible. You can read more on it here: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/sleep-posture/He also wrote another article on various sleeping position options. They all seemed rather uncomfortable but if you're so inclined feel free to check that article out too. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/improve-sleep-posture/At any rate I had a few simple sleeping tips on my site as well. These are immediate and guaranteed to give your sleep a boost! http://www.fitlish.com/overcominginsomnia
