The neurologist called the factor leading to fatigue after sleep

Poor sleep may be the result of an improperly placed pillow. Angelina Loginova, head of product management at MOON, told about this on Thursday, May 21.

The expert noted that it is not necessary to choose a pillow that is too soft or excessively rigid, since in the first case the pillow collapses without giving support, and in the second case it creates pressure points and forces the neck to assume an unnatural position.

Loginova added that when choosing a pillow, it is necessary to focus on your favorite sleeping position.

"Sleeping on your side requires a higher pillow. To accurately select its height, you need to measure the distance from the neck to the end of the shoulder while lying on your side," she explained in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

The specialist added that an 8-10 cm high pillow is suitable for sleeping on your back, which supports the natural curve of the neck, and the lowest pillow is needed for a night's rest on your stomach.

In turn, neurologist Angelina Batiushka stated that the incorrect height of the pillow leads to constant tension of the back muscles. As a result, a person may wake up with neck discomfort, fatigue, and a headache. Another unpleasant consequence of sleeping on an unsuitable pillow can be problems with posture, she concluded.
