Good video, thanks. To sleep well, I eat no later than 5pm. Drink water so I don't dehydrate durinig night.Blackout mask. Blackout curtains. Blue-block glasses, and slowdown as 10pm nears. Decisively resolve conflicts. No alcohol. Decaf coffee. Daily exercise. Ice bath 3 mins each morning. Working on back exercises for psoras muscles - has almost cleared minor back ache in a few weeks, greatly helping sleep. Thanks again - I put away one of my pillows because of it.
Absolutely!
I have been working to correct my posture for a few years now and have strengthened my back a lot. I was a side sleeper and always had issues in shoulders and thoracic spine area. So I have also mostly trained myself to sleep on my back. I now sleep with no pillow and have recently even ditched my headboard for the option to hang just the top of my skull off of my mattress. It feels great to me and I sleep well. Am I crazy?
Hello Sir, would you recommend sleeping on the floor?
I have been doing this for a while, but someone told me recently that I would regret doing this (sleeping on floor), when I got older, I am 40 years old.
Thank you for your time.

Always used a blanket as a pillow A small one since I was a baby. I can’t use a pillow. It hurts . They are to large and uncomfortable 🥴.
I never slept well with pillows
I lay on a few folded towels when staying at hotels since those pillows are always huge

Thank you so much for mentioning the ab exercises, tight lumbar, and hip flexors! I am a licensed massage therapist and I mention this to my clients all the time. They are always amazed at how good they feel after I help them stretch out. They actually feel (and look) a bit taller because a good bit of that muscular pressure has been released in the session. They say I'm a miracle worker, but the truth is that we aren't taught the proper way to care for ourselves as we grow up. I hope your channel continues to grow so that you can reach more people and help them learn how to properly care for themselves and improve their health.
i love this comment!! god bless physical terapy! we really don’t take of ourselves. thank you guys for sharing your knowledge
Come to canada please, we need you!
How should one stretch? I have annoying lower back pain and have always wanted to get a massage. I’ve asked people but majority of them say my lower back is weak. My lower back arguably hurts due to gym.
Excellent thanks 🛌
What timestamp is it mentioned?
Remember, as with anything in Life, it takes time. Don't expect instant results in one week. This will take a few weeks for your Body to adjust to and get comfortable to.
To achieve any goal in Life, you need discipline, persistence and consistency. You can't give up half way because the results are taking time. Good luck to all my fellow Human Beings.
I was a front sleeper my entire life, and was developing a serious dowager’s hump. Learning to sleep flat on my back has been hard, but I’m getting there a few weeks in now, and the hump is going. I advise stacking pillows NEXT to you to help you feel cosier, if you’re used to sleeping on your front or side. I also recommend upper back strengthening and stretching, start gently and build up slowly.
When I was 19 I spent several months in a hip to toe cast (compound fracture from motorcycle vs car accident) so I HAD to sleep on my back. I've now (several decades later) begun sleeping on my side. To help get back to back sleeping I've used a king-size pillow alongside from my shoulder to hip. I lay on my side and settle back a bit against the pillow. I'm not fully on my side or back but nothing feels strained. And it does feel cozy ; )
thank you! it’s good to see that someone is able to overcome this! I try to sleep on my back but I either can’t fall asleep or have sleeping paralysis. I feel so discouraged but your comment motivates me to try more
@@rainbowgirl949494 😭 same that’s why i stopped sleeping on my back due to sleep paralysis. How has it been going for you?
@@_anaaaaa because of my worsening scoliosis I tried it again & first time in my life I could sleep on my back without any problem. in the morning I ended up on my side but it’s still a success.
also someone told me that what helped her is taking natural (!!) sleeping pills. she took it for a very short time & later she could sleep on her back without the pills too
We Muslims follow the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (saw) in which the best position for sleeping is to the side. Alhamdullilah even after 1400 years of research, this side position still appear to be the best.
I am now giving my super thick pillow *side eye.*
I’m a side sleeper
And I noticed that I tend to really curl into that fetal position
Sometimes so much my head is practically off the pillow
Thank you for this advice !
Did u know that side sleeping makes your face unsimetrical?
@@cokta006 haha wtf 😂 i see it
@@cokta006 that explains a lot lol
@@cokta006 I have noticed that as well, especially when you prefer a certain side
@@cokta006 yes :(
It's permanent and fixable with surgery I think
i actually did this a couple years ago...and removed using pillows altogether...really works...my dowagers posture is now gone...takes a lil getting used to but its actually much more relaxing to sleep withoit than with a pillow
Did you ever experience upper back pain when sleeping without a pillow? That happens to me, like I'm doing a workout in my sleep.
@@ghihbgyu This will happen until you train your muscles to get used to being in that position for a prolonged period of time. Your back will be a bit sore each morning until you get used to it.
It's gone?! I have a horrible back hump and am trying everything to fix it. I feel hideous!
I love how when he gives his explanation - they are explained as if we should know this already because it is actually common sense. I love this channel!
So ive been doing my own research on how to fix my posture for the past month or two. Your video is a great accumulation of all the knowledge ive learned. Other than the pillow neck stuff at the beginning. I did not know that and can't wait to give it a try.
Watching this at midnight, in bed, was everything. I learned new things and other things were reaffirming what I naturally feel like. Tight. Thanks

This is so funny and correct
Awesome to see your page grow, 5 years ago I hurt my back and couldn’t don’t anything, your videos help me.
I have suffered for years from 10-12 chronic tension headaches a month which, it turned out, were the result of cervical arthritis aggravated by poor sleeping posture with much pillow support. I'm now sleeping with a rolled-up towel behind my neck and have taught myself to sleep on my back. My headaches are all but gone!
I don't save a lot of videos. I'm saving this one
No idea how much I thank you for this video. I was suffering from bad posture for really long time. Your technique fixed everything like magic. Never knew the problem was caused by wrong sleeping picture for such long time. Now I feel great comfort. I searched this video again to thank you. Thank you & thanks again. God bless you🙏☺️
your voice is so soothing yet your video is so fun!! great video :’)
Thank you for including sleeping face down. So many people just talk about it being bad in general, but when I'm very anxious it's the only position that gives me any sleep at all!
I will never understand how people find sleeping face down comfortble lol. That's the most uncomfortable sht ever

@1:20 Me: lying down with two pillows at the back of my head with a double chin posture staring at my phone as I watch this vid
LoL Same here 😂😂😂
Thank you brother. Best posture fix video that has worked for me so far.
I had really bad upper back pain recently and was looking for things to fix my posture because of it. I had one of those thick neck pillows and when I'd wake up I'd be in so much pain. Now l never thought that was making it worse but I switched it to a small pillow like he said. Game changer. Woke up with way less pain and actually the hump has gotten better!! Thank you thank you for this video!!
this is great!
I love your channel! Just what I needed!
You provide such helpful advice. I really appreciate your knowledge and attitude. An extra plus is the “bed head” for this episode. Thank you so much❤
Those of us that are curvy do well with using pillows to create the neutral position. This is especially true for those of us that sleep on our sides. I started with a pillow between my knees years ago and quickly realized that my long legs meant that my feet were left dangling at an unnatural position, and it was putting a new pain in my hip as a result. As I have gone along, I find myself adding more specific pillows to "brace" my body into neutral for sleep. I have a nightly system now that involves 5 pillows and it just might grow to 6. I now sleep like a rock and never wake up with those strange back pains anymore. It's a fair trade but all the mismatched pillows took a bit to visually get used to. Now it's a whole 'thing' to make sure that the pillowcase covers remain different, otherwise I wouldn't know what pillow was supposed to go where.
I'm gonna start with this changes tonight. So useful. Thank you!
It’s been 3 weeks was that useful
Okay, you’re funny and now you’ve gained a new follower. Thanks for this video!
So much excellent information! I used to sleep without a pillow and am trying to get back to that practice. However I am finding flat pillows work somtimes and more flexible are good to have available. So much knowledge on so much ypu share!
Another helpful video. Thank you.
Thanks! I appreciate your goofy humor and extremely simple and helpful tips.
Glad you like them!
Always insightful brother, thanks.
Thanks so much!
I get to have this conversation with clients all the time.
💙😁🙏
Thank you so much for sharing this. I‘ve been trying what you said for a few days now and already feel like it’s much easier for me to maintain a straight forward facing position without it feeling exhausting too quickly
This was the most helpful video on TH-cam. I have watched so many videos about this!!!
This was super helpful, thank you!!
Thank you so much for your knowledge and help, I like to curl a lot and no matter how much I practice straight back it comes back, now i know why
Excellent video, thanks for the upload!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Matt, I just found your channel and love the content. This is the self help info I've been looking for! I have a specific question regarding the neck. How do I keep the "natural" curve in my neck while sleeping like this and doing the exercises seen in How To Fix Hunchback Posture In 3 Minutes? My doctor thinks the discomfort in my arm is from a pinched nerve and my straight neck. He gave me one of those travel pillows to use to try to get my neck back into a curve while I sleep. It worked but now on my quest for no neck/back pain I don't want my straight neck and arm pain to come back 😬
Wow! Amazing information & so well said, subscribed!
The most userfriendly advice on shoulder and neck pain i have ever received. Clearly and coherently explained. Keep up the amazing work! 🎯
I’m gonna work on this, I’ve been feeling a lot of left side neck pain because of my bad posture and it’s triggering terrible migraines. Subscribed to your channel ✅
Hi I'm getting the same thing left hand side neck pain. I have a sharp pain just looking left at times do you ever get that
Thank you! This answers my questions about sleeping posture!
Great content, amazing delivery!
Watching this video is like reading a book in which the author makes you feel understood. 4:26 ameeeeen! I used to sleep in a semi fetal position and when I began sleeping straight head to toe while on my side I noticed a MAJOR difference. I was just listening to my body! This totallllyyyy justified that change with solid evidence!
Just found your channel and am so glad! I have genetic kyphosis/lordosis/anterior pelvic tilt and it’s been really catching up to me the past two years with pain. I’m slowly losing shoulder mobility and range of motion so I’m going to attempt some of these fixes!
I also have hypermobility and was wondering if these strategies need to be modified to accommodate that as well for the best outcome. Thank you for all the info!
Great information and great positivity as always!!❤
FANTASTIC video! Thank you for making it
This is insanely insightful, thank you so much!!
My neck was in so much pain so I did your exercises. It helped immediately. So I went on to your back and shoulder tension relief. This also helped. Thank you so much. I may actually get some sleep now,
Ah…Thank you so much for the most appropriate video before bedtime 😌🙏🛏
That was sweet, thank you for posting this
I switched to a buckwheat pillow 20+ years ago. Gets as flat as I need it, pillow under legs when flat, between knees when on my side. Fat pillows are only comfortable for a few minutes before they start to be a literal pain in the neck.
I have started sleeping with one pillow and I already see a difference! Thank you so much!
Excellent tips, Mr. Upright! Thank you!
Thanks a lot ☺️ and have a wonderful week.
I'm a stomach sleeper and always have lower back pain. Gonna try that extra pillow tonight under my hips
Enjoy a better night's sleep!
Also, partial sit-ups, crunches, I prefer Twist-ups. MAJOR relief of lower back pain once you strengthen your abdominal area!
If you really have forward head posture, I can confirm that good pillow back sleeping will not “help” your posture. Anything low enough to extent your upper spine will transfer weight toward your head (thus into your neck) and you will wake up with neck pain. Your only option is to use a neck brace when you sleep, if you want to “improve” posture overnight. But even that does not do a great job. It is hard to apply traction to the upper spine without straining the neck. Sleeping with a rolled up towel under your upper spine should work better, but I have not gotten good results with that either, for the same reasons. You can either support your neck/head, or extend your upper spine, you cannot do both at the same time.
like your videos very much came upon them by accident and glad I did, thank you
Thanks Champion! 👍 Really useful Information
👍 Great video
Thanks 👍
My chiropractor told me to sleep with a rolled up towel under my neck (not the head)...even if I just do it 10 minutes a day it will help...but, I sleep on my side so now I make sure my head is straight and not bent over in a curve when I'm on my side...and make sure my chin is recessed and not up and out or pointed to my chest. I also reser my head by straightening the back of my neck...like trying to lift the head and flatten the back of the neck and then put my head on the pillow.
Great video. I learned a lot and will continue watch all your content! Thanks for sharing this and love your sense of humor too.
Wow. This is so informative. Thank you so much!
Me encantaría poder ver los vídeos con subtítulos en español, sería posible? Gracias de antemano! 😊
These are really helping! Do you have any advice for a side sleeper about that tendency to round the shoulders in toward each other? I've tried to sleep with the bottom arm behind me but it usually puts my arm to sleep.
I have this problem too! And I’ve tried keeping my shoulders back but I round them automatically while falling asleep and them I wake up all sore
If I had to guess, it would be to strengthen the muscles in the shoulder blades/ upper back. Ever since I stopped weight training I've noticed I'm curling my shoulders in a lot more than I used to. (Side sleeper here also)
It said that you need extra pillow to hug . Like in your thighs you put in the middle .
I'm the same so my trick is putting a pillow along my front to discourage the curling over position. It provides a gentle support & feels very good.
Side sleeper also... I've never found anything that makes it work better. I just try to sleep on my back with no pillow as much as possible and it def helps
Best posture video I've seen, thank you!
I am so grateful. This is such a great channel. U hv helped many. TQVM🌷
Some of us need to sleep in pretty much a sitting-up position. Hiatal hernia, I'm looking at you. Same sort of issue with spinal/cervical stenosis; if your neck isn't in just the right position there's pressure on the brachial nerves and you wake up when your hands and arms hurt or go numb, or are even partly paralyzed.
yo that happens to me! sometimes i wake up with my arm fully asleep. other times my right shoulder, and neck are very stiff and achy throughout the day. what do i do?
Really informative video! And presented non-judgementally, thank you for that ❤ Wondering if there are any additional tips for doing all this while dealing with reflux at night? Which makes being flat for too long uncomfortable
Adjustable base bed or a firm wedge pillow so that your your still laying flat but elevated some to help with reflux
Thanks for this video. It helped fix a bad posture within a few weeks.
Keep up the great work 😄
Hi, that's for the vid! Very informative! I have a question regarding pillows - does this mean that memory foam pillows that are curved so that middle is lower than the top and bottom, imitating the shape of your head and neck are just in general bad to sleep on?
He said "yes" to that, I think.
Thank you for this video, and other videos. I’m really keen to do the Asian Primal Squat, but it is going to take time.
I love all the advice for the hunchback issue, and I have a big one. The main reason is that I have chronic rhinitis, and obviously the constant post nasal drip of gunk in the back of my throat. This leads to reflux, and I find the worst position for these issues is to lie flat or with one pillow. I noticed some time ago that no matter how I lie to go to sleep, I always wake up face up, but I can’t start flat as I feel like I’m going to drown. Literally drown. I do have mild sleep apnea, with low system oxygen.
I find that it is comfortable, prior to falling asleep, to sit up as far as possible, and I tend to eventually fall sleep in a sort of sitting position. Obviously this is not helpful for the hump of course. The biggest problem with this sitting up position is the eventual sliding down of the body due to its own weight and gravity. Do you have any advice for sleeping comfortably in a “sitting” position? Thanks.
Did you try going to an allergist? You may also have really bad allergies
So happy that you finally got some pillows Matt ✌🏼
This is a great video. Thank you young man.
I wish we had more ergonomic desks at school growing up, or just more thought put into students' posture and overall health. I think my hunching is due a lot to hunching over my desk for hours a day working on assignments as a kid, and since then, never really worked on it enough to correct. Thanks for the helpful video.
I found this video extremely helpful. After spinal surgery I started favoring my neck and slowly crept into really bad posture. After the first night of corrected sleeping position it didn’t reverse years of bad posture of course but I got out of bed without any neck pain, without the urge to favor the neck by looking down. But I have to say that while I excitedly went to the website for more information on the program, I quit reading after 30 pages of explaining what the program will do for me.
Thank you so much! I didn't know if I needed a chiropractor or a neck brace! 🤔 I'm changing my sleeping position, now. Thank you for demonstrating positions. 🙏
Great video. Thank you.
I have mild scoliosis and I mostly sleep on my back. But I find it hard to sleep symmetrically. I notice my body loves bending to the right side while I am sleeping on my back. It happens so naturally that I am not even aware of it sometimes.
Same, I fall asleep slightly tilted on my left back with my left leg slightly bent and my right leg extended
But what do I do if my spine is straight, but my shoulder blades are sticking out which makes it look like I have a hunch back?
Great information will try this tonight thanks Mat
im glad you showed how to do this on the couch. my wife is often mad at me.
Hey Matt, the bump in my neck caused by my hunchback posture really causes me to feel extremely insecure. Is it possible to get rid of this bump without surgery?
Sleep on a hard surface without a pillow. I’ve had zero back pain with better posture and alignment for years now. There is absolutely no need to go through all this.
Thank you, your tips were very helpful!
Thanks. I definitely needed to watch this.
Glad it was helpful!
How difficult is this, having full on scoliosis?
Most of my joints get dislocated frequently, I'm sure the multiple pillow thing is my problem.. but it's like quite literally impossible for me comfortably use one pillow, for many reasons
I’ve always avoided sleeping on my back because I’m worried about sleep paralysis
Thank you for the informational video!
Great tutorial!
Love this. Any tips for a side sleeper who likes to hug a pillow (because it's most comfortable) which naturally rounds the back/shoulders slightly?
Get a body pillow! They're like 5 feet long. Also keeps your hips aligned.
@@ams914 that would be great if I slept alone but don't think my husband would approve. 😅
@@xkristixx why not? can just use a plain cover if that worries you
@@xkristixx jealous of your body pillow? Omg.....clinging is not good for a relationship😉
No. 🤦 Because it'll take up a ton of space on the bed. Body pillows are huge people...
My chiropractor has had me back sleeping using a pillow with a dent in the middle for about 20 years now. Unfortunately after trying your wall exercise to fix hunchback posture, I realize that I've got poor posture. I'm going to try a different pillow tonight.
One sleeping tip: I've got a shaved head, so wearing a fleece nightcap is a must. Mine is long enough that it also doubles as a blackout mask.
What a wonderful soothing voice.
Great advice!!!! Love all your videos
Thanks so much!
