What's the best position for maximum sleep gains?
>>36767005
Do sleep position variations depending on your routine
You're asleep for 8 hours a day, any time spent force correcting posture during the day is wasted if you sleep crap, right?
Is laying on your back the only good sleeping position?
Foetus, yearner and freefaller master race. Don't want any pressure on that lower back yo.
I do sleep confusions where I drink a lot of alcohol before sleeping and end up with lots of weird positions
>>36767005
; ^ )
>>36767116
I have never been able to fall asleep on my back, all about that foetus
>>36767005
I can only sleep in the Soldier position.
-Foetus, Log, Yearner = pressure on shoulder so a no go
-Freefaller= Chin pain
-Starfish= armes get numb
>>36767005
Foetus with an arm between top and bottom pillow so it doesn't get squished and shoulder isn't under pressure
Comfy as fuck
>>36767144
> Le Edge XD
They don't have my position. On stomach, head rolled to one side and opposite arm under the pillow. One leg brought up so my legs look like the number 4 upside down.
>>36767005
Under your boyfriend
>train back
>sleep on stomach
>train chest
>sleep on back
If you sleep on the muscles you trained they can't grow because they're being pressed into the bed and condensed by gravity
>>36767412
>>36767005
Lay on your stomach if you want to fuck up your spine.
>>36767116
Freefaller is terrible for your lower back
>>36767542
how.
How do I become a back sleeper from a side-sleeper?
>>36767389
same here
>started because I wanted someone to hug
>hugged pillow
>can't... can't break the habit senpai
>>36767580
You're hyperextending your lower back for 8 hours.
I started sleeping on my side when my pancreas started getting fucked up. My doctor asked if I changed sleeping patterns and I told him I had slept on my side for a few months after sleeping on my back my entire life. Turns out it's pretty common. The body adjusts to alleviate pressure even though I wasn't conscious about it.
>>36767616
> tfw I always want to cuddle more than the women I sleep with
Existence is suffering
>>36767609
This.
I hear it helps to have a feather or similar material pillow. The big, heavy fluffy kind, that are almost moldable, so that when you rest the back of your head on the center of the pillow, the sides poof up and hold your head upright so you can relax your neck muscles. Your head should be able to sink almost right down to the mattress through the pillow though. Your head should never be pushed forward while lying on your back.
Some of the advantages of back-sleeping are better skin and less wrinkles, from not mashing some part of your face into a pillow for several hours, and I hear that as of now, it's better for your spine. While side-sleeping used to be known as the best position for your spine, it is now found to rely on a pillow the exact thickness of the distance between the side of your neck and edge of your shoulder, and a bed that supports the contours of your body.
I just started getting used to transitioning to side-sleeping from stomach-sleeping, and now I have to get into yet another routine.
>>36767005
i'm at 'freefaller'
i'm trying to change to 'soldier'/'starfish' but it's too hard, i can't fall asleep
>>36767719
>>36767616
fuck are you guys me?
i cant fall asleep without hugging something in my arms. I wish a qt3,14 will fill that role someday :/
>>36767719
y-you guys interact with other human beings?
>>36767005
WHenever I sleep on my stomach I have to put my hand underneath my chest mussle to prevent it from pushing against my throath softly. Feels like being strangled
Soldier with pillow under feet master race.
Srs, that shit is life changing. I occasionally do fetus too with pillow crunched between thighs
>>36767719

Can confirm. I'm trying to break the free taller sleeping habit. Every time I wake up after sleeping on my stomach my lower back is fucking killing me.
>>36767266
same for me
>>36767719
>>36768024
>No more qt japanese gf since i left japan
>she loved cuddling
>I reach out and hug a person who is no longer there
>Wake up feeling bad and sad
>>36767005
Starfish is best, stretches out your chest and shoulders
>>36768535
same. my lower back has been fucked for years so i can´t sleep free faller style. i also can´t stand still for more than a few minutes. i have no problems being on my feet all day or deadlift 2plate for reps though
I was Soldier for years.
Everytime i waked up i couldn't breath.
Now im a freefaller, best sleep since the last 10 years.
freefaller and sometimes foetus.
Trying to sleep on my back but can't fall asleep unless I've already been asleep at which point I will sleep on my back.
They say you'll get used to falling asleep on your back but I can never force myself to do it.
>>36767005
I can't do the foetus, log, or yearner. Whenever I do those positions, my arms fall asleep due to lack of blood flow.
>>36768024
get a dakimakura style pillow. they are often sold as pregnancy pillows. great for pretending to cuddle someone while you cry yourself to sleep
>>36768838
those are the worst anyway. Shoulder and back problems guaranteed.
Last time I forced myself to sleep in soldier I woke up in the middle of the night with a giant spider demon lady on top of me riding my dick. I couldn't move or scream, she just had her way with me till I came. After that I woke up again with wet undies. Don't sleep on your back unless you want to get raped by demons.
>>36767005
I've read that Foetus position is the best for the spine, assuming a proper mattress. Knees should only be slightly bent though. A pillow between the knees is supposed to help the spine rain straighter. I don't knom though. I sleep in all kinds of positions. just depends on what muscles are sore, and whether or not the GF is with me. I can't sleep on my back around other people. Snores to wake the dead.
>>36768910
it´s called sleep paralysis, actually quite common when one sleeps on his back
strongly recommend the Buckwheat Pillow
currently trying to transition from foetus to soldier from optimal sleep
>>36768910
the thought of having sex with a female is truely horrifying
>>36767412
>>36767609
Basically just lay on your back until you fall asleep.
There is a moment in which you transition to sleep when your body has a reflex that puts you in your usual sleeping position. It's probably the last thing you remember before falling asleep. You just need to not turn over at that time.
I found that eating a cannabis edible an hour before bed made it really easy to stay on my back all night, if it's legal where you live you might want to try it out.
>>36768594

>naturally soldier sleeper
>sleep paralysis everytime
>mfw
>>36770195
>tfw find sleep paralysis exciting
also, foetus because im a big gay baby
Does anyone else have this weird problem where they wake up paralyzed for a bit? And it takes a great force of will to move and get yourself up?
It actually makes me really scared of cuddling as a grill, because I'm scared I'll wake up in a position where he's holding me, to the point where I can't summon the force to jerk myself out of it.
>>36768946

>>36770195
>It is a transitional state between wakefulness and sleep, characterized by muscle atonia (muscle weakness). It is often accompanied by terrifying and unusually powerful hallucinations (such as an intruder in the room) to which one is unable to react due to paralysis, and physical experiences (such as strong current running through the upper body).
give us some more of that sweet greentext anon

>mfw I still have to read berserk because it's so good I'm scared of the idea one day i'll finish it

It's called sleep paralysis

No homo.
Anyone else get really vivid dreams when sleeping on your back?
Not sure if spooked or enlightened
>>36770542
I've slowly taught myself to become almost conscious in my dreams. It's fucking weird, but I can actively made decisions and actively know that I'm dreaming. It's a bit like Inception.
>>36769948
More of a foetus sleeper,though I dont tuck up my legs that high. After I broke my collarbone I was forced to sleep on my back for several months. I never got used to sleep on my back,and the first time I could sleep on my side again felt like heaven
>>36770195
Damn, nigga. Thanks to depression, I got sleep paralysis every fucking night for 7 years. Even after not having depression for a year, I still have sleep paralysis once in a while.
>>36767961
I changed from a side to a back sleeper and this is exactly how I did it, any time I go back to old pillows I always resort back to the side
>>36767005
>tfw you hug your pillow at night and pretend its her.
>>36772686
Finally saw this movie
Not disappointed
Been sleeping on my stomach since I was born, now I have so much lordosis that I can't even fall asleep when I'm on my back because it feels uncomfortable. Stop sleeping on your stomach.
>>36770653
What goes on during sleep paralysis?
this shits sounds scary and interesting as fuck
I want to be a back sleeper but I consistently get sleep paralysis if I do, so i sleep on my stomach instead. shit sucks
>>36772926
for me I hallucinate that I get up and leave my but I keep snapping back into bed, whenever I think that the sleep paralysis is over and Ive actually woke up this time I find myself right back in bed again, its really horrible
Don't hate me but I'm jelly of all you who regularly go into sleep paralysis. It only happened to me once, my heart was racing and I felt terror, except it was in the middle of the day and in a semi-public place. But it was genuine terror, most bizarre thing ever. I would like to experience it again.
>>36772997
does everyone see monsters or demons?
>>36773138
alot of people online say they do but I never have, Im not religious so Ive never hallucinated demons, the worst Ive seen is john boener in my room because I had sleep paralysis with msnbc on in the background
>>36768600

Soldier with my hands on my balls
>>36773084
I experienced sleep paralysis for over a year almost everyday of the week. What I noticed brought it on more was my sleep deprivation from the first times it occurred. I also sleep in either soldier position or freefaller, which happens to be the one most people with paralysis do. I saw the shadowman almost daily, who did you see?
>>36767412
>>36770295
There was a period where I was taking expired painkillers every night and they always gave me sleep paralysis. It was obviously scary at first but yeah I came to like it in a strange way
>>36773442
Doesn't that cut off circulation?
If I rest my head on my arm for more than 5 minutes I get pins/needles.
>>36773363
I had a nightmare during a lucid dream where a guy that look like G-man from Half-Life was chasing me. He had already killed everyone I know and I was the last one left. I ended up waking up as he got close and when I opened my eyes and looked at the door to my room, I could still see him walking slowly towards me with a knife. I kept telling myself to move and nothing was happening. When he finally got right next to my bed, I managed to swing my arm and ended up knocking a bunch of shit off my nightstand, but he finally disappeared.
That was the scariest experience I've had, although last night was pretty close. I woke up and saw all these little action figure-like creatures (think of the monsters from Small Soldiers) look over at me and and start crawling towards my bed. In my window was a shadow that looked something like Slender Man looking down at me.
>>36773598
hope it's not the shadowman anon
>tfw I never get tired until I've been up for 24 hours
I feel like I should be on planet with a longer day/night cycle

>his muscles doesn't defy the laws of gravity
I pretty much sleep in the recovery position
I sleep on a thin mattress on my back.
I have been told that this is the single best method. The key is to use a small pillow just under the neck so your posture is good.
>>36767005
I sleep better when I sit up anon
>>36776217
This.
Takes some time to get used to but it pays off.
Also
>sleep with window open
>use light blanket that breathes
>>36767144
I giggled.
>>36776206
sick breh, same, except I keep the top hand under my head and the top leg more out.
Always wondered why no pics like OPs has that position.
I usually put something underneath me so I sleep in Freefaller but at an angle. Feels awesome.
>tfw usually when I'm tired I find a comfortable position, then I think about how good it would be with that girl I like to sleep next to me and then I can't sleep for two hours, fucking my entire night
>>36767961
Thanks, anon. I'm going to try to get used to back sleeping for yet another time. Why is it so hard breaking an old habit
>>36768406
It's good for hip and spine allignment. Google it
On left side arms in front like a mantis, wrap legs in blanket.
