Sleep is very important for your body and health. Many studies have shown that an insufficient amount of sleep can lead to back and neck problems. It’s recommended that you get 6-8 hours of sleep every night. It’s also important that you have a good mattress and pillow that supports your back and neck. The position you sleep in is also important. The best position to sleep in to support your back is on your side.
