Sleeping position for men plays a very important role, not only for sleep quality but also for sexual function. Let's refer to the sleeping positions below, to choose the best sleeping position for men.1. Lie on your stomach
To choose the best sleeping position for men, lying on the stomach is not the best choice. Because the downside of lying on your stomach is that it puts pressure on your internal organs (especially the heart). The pinched heart will make breathing not smooth, affecting the blood circulation throughout the body, making it difficult to breathe.In addition, when lying on the stomach, the penis is also weighed down by body weight. As a result, men are prone to restricted blood circulation, spermatozoa, frequent dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms, which, if prolonged, will affect work and normal life.
On the other hand, in terms of reproductive function, lying on the stomach will cause the scrotum to be compressed for a long time, unable to dissipate heat effectively, causing the scrotal temperature to rise, affecting the spermatogenesis (sperm production) function of the sperm. complete. Therefore, those who are unmarried or have no children need to pay attention to the sleeping position for men, avoid sleeping on their stomach or often with high pillows when sleeping.
2. Lie on your left side
In the thoracic structure, the heart is located on the left side. Therefore, when you sleep on this side, your heart will be compressed, leading to unstable sleep and reduced sleep quality.When the heart is compressed, the whole body's blood circulation in men will become slow, including the blood circulation mechanism in the genitals. If the genitals are not fully pumped for a long time, it can lead to erectile dysfunction in men.
3. Lying on the right side
To prevent the heart from being compressed, many people have turned to the right side lying position. However, this is not the standard sleeping position for men. The reason is because lying on the left or right side can cause the testicles and penis to be compressed between the legs, causing the penis and testicles to bear a lot more pressure than when standing.Some men, especially teenagers and boys, sleep in a type that can cause the spermatic cord to twist (testicular torsion), causing the scrotum to twist.
As a result, it is more difficult for the penis to receive nutrients and metabolites as well as to be unable to excrete them. If the torsion time exceeds 12 hours, the testicle is at risk of anemia, testicular necrosis.
So lying on the right side is also not the best sleeping position for men. If you still want to lie on your right side, you need to pay attention to your sleeping position, don't twist it back and forth, causing the spermatic cord to twist.
4. Lie on your back
So the question arises "What type of sleep is best? " . In fact, the best sleeping position for men is on their backs.When lying on your back and spreading your legs naturally, the internal organs in the thorax and the genitals are not compressed, so blood circulation and scrotal torsion are avoided.
In addition, comfortably lying on your back can also provide adequate working space for the penis and scrotum, help dissipate body heat naturally, promote blood circulation to circulate the whole body, especially beneficial for the body. sexual function, healthy reproductive system.
In general, sleeping position for men seems simple but affects many body activities, especially sexual function. For men, the healthiest sleeping position is lying on your back, with your legs open, and lying on your stomach and side is not beneficial for the reproductive system and circulation when sleeping.
