Is it normal to have your waist hanging in the air when lying flat?

People often encounter some special problems in life. These problems make people curious about some conditions in the body. For example, many people have the situation that the waist is suspended in the air when they lie flat. This situation does not cause any special feeling to the body, but the suspension phenomenon will continue. Let's take a look at whether it is normal for the waist to be suspended in the air when lying flat? I hope everyone can understand it.

First of all, it is normal to have a gap in the waist when lying down. That is the normal physiological curvature of the human body. It is not good if the waist curvature becomes straight. Straightening the curvature causes greater pressure on the lumbar spine, which in turn causes lumbar disc herniation and compresses the nerves. Your current condition may be caused by working at a desk for too long, which has caused tension in the lumbar muscle soft tissue, and a slight dislocation of the lumbar facet joints, which has compressed the surrounding soft tissues and nerves. It may also be because the bed is too soft, causing the waist to sag when you sleep, and the soft tissues to be stretched too tight. You feel that exercising will improve your condition, but in fact it is because the soft tissue has loosened. You can go to the soft tissue department of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital and have the bone loosened and repositioned through manipulation. However, you should pay attention to it in your daily work and life. You cannot stand or sit for long periods of time, and you should not sit on a stool that is too soft or too low. When you sleep, you can put a towel that is the width of a palm and 2 to 3 cm high as a cushion to sleep on. It should be placed above the pelvis, at the lower part of the lumbar spine, to keep the lumbar spine in a good curvature and reduce joint pressure. Also, don't eat too much sour and spicy food, such as beer, which is very humid, and carbonated drinks, as these will aggravate the tension of soft tissues.

If you feel uncomfortable sleeping, it is necessary to change your sleeping position. The best sleeping position is to lie on your right side with your legs bent. This is mainly because most people's hearts are located on the left side. Sleeping on the right side reduces the pressure on the heart and helps the free circulation of blood throughout the body, thereby improving metabolism.

In addition, sleeping in this position can allow the food in the stomach to move towards the duodenum with the help of gravity, thereby promoting the digestion and absorption of food. However, it should be noted that when sleeping on the right side, do not use a pillow that is too low, otherwise it will cause discomfort in the neck.

Before going to bed, you must ensure a comfortable and warm environment. Whether you choose a perfect bed, block the light tightly, or try your best to eliminate noise, ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment can effectively regulate the condition of lack of sleep.
