- An examination of sleeping posture from the perspective of a system of conscious guidance and control.
Link to Tetley's paper: www.ncbi.nlm.n...
To be clear, Masoero does not endorse the sleeping postures in Tetley's paper. His perspective is that you will roll around when you sleep, so it doesn't matter what posture you set yourself up with. What matters is what you do while you're awake.
I offer lessons in the Initial Alexander Technique, which are conducted one-on-one with a teacher over Zoom. They are designed to help you gain conscious control over how you move your body. Most people have no idea what they’re doing with their body, and as they misuse their body, they end up with discomfort, pain, and other issues that they may not even realize are caused by what they’re doing to themselves. But how do you figure out what you’re doing wrong? And how do you change what you're doing and overcome lifelong habits?
In an Initial Alexander Technique lesson, you will record yourself through Zoom, so you will be able to see and understand what you are doing when you stand, sit, walk, and perform other simple gestures. With the assistance of your teacher, you will come to understand how you are misusing the mechanisms of your body, and you will gain the ability to choose to use yourself in a more sensible way. You can learn how to use your body without pain. You can break free from long held habits. All you need is a system that works.

Huh, turns out my whole life I've been sleeping in the most natural posture for humans and was continuously told I need to sleep on my back to be healthy.
Never listen to doctors 🥼
My parents have said that to me in childhood as well, but i never snored and they did so 🤷♂️

Natural is not the best. In nature we die before 40. Unless you are on the look out for predators or insects reaching your genitals…. Yeah sleeping on your back is generally the best lmao

The optimal sleeping position is one where your joints are in their maximum lose packed position. This means the position where the joint has the least amount of tension and the most amount of rest. Also there is no “best”. Because even in your sleep you still want to change positions, because its healthy to keep your body moving a bit. I always say; the best position is the next position.
Lol
Realize how many times most animals get up and stretch and then just get back to the important business of napping (often with a watchful eye at the ready) makes me rethink all of what you have shared here. Thank you!
Yup, laying in the same position all night isn't good, regardless of how aligned it is. Movement is essential to animals.
Im thankfull that neither sand nor insects is any of my concerns when going to sleep.
Look, everyone..a good comment on TH-cam
I too sleep in the genitals vulnerable to insects and sand position..... have never worried about insects or sand till now though 😂
Butt vulnerability is definitely the best, most comfy positions.... if your ass is safe!
For real, I'm always thinking about that

When I was a child I would always naturally adopt the folded over posture (kneeling on my shins) when I was cold in bed, especially when I had chills/fevers. Occasionally now as an adult I find myself wondering why I had decided that was the most effective way to keep warm, so it’s fascinating to find out that this is a common posture that other people in the world had adopted :-).
Same!
must be instinctive
Me too!
It's amazing how our bodies know what is the best way to do things if we stop overthinking everything and simply do what feels right!

I once slept in the lookout posture before and never felt more comfortable in bed. In fact it was so comfortable I forgot how I had positioned myself the morning after. Watching that part in the video about the lookout posture felt like I unlocked a skill that was useable in the tutorial but locked until my character had progressed further into the story
Can you leave a time stamp of the position please😊
@@MukbangMondays2:17
The lookout posture is how I wake up every morning.
It's so weird as I'm unable to fall asleep in any position other than laying on my back hands resting on my chest (I call it the funeral home position 😂)
The 2 can't be any more different
I am skinny and have an athletic build, but I've always had really dangerous sleep apnea and I wake up 5 times a night. I always thought back sleeping is the healthiest way to sleep but it took me a while to learn from personal experience that I sleep more deeply on my side and I achieve having dreams way more in the reverse recovery posture. Now I'm switching to the recovery posture (1:45) because I just tried it and I love it! Thanks!
This is 1 of these rare videos you can't watch on a train with headphones.

Came here randomly, yet managed to learn more useful tricks to fix my snoring and apnea than others I've encountered till now. Thank you very much!

I recently saw on TH-cam a video about beds in Medieval Europe. In those days the beds were much shorter than modern beds, more square shaped. You could not lie down straight in them. People in those days described lying out straight as the "coffin " position and it was considered bad luck. So everybody slept on their sides with their legs tucked up towards their chest. I have been doing this for some months now and I no longer wake up with lower back pain. Sleeping while lying on my back i now know is the worst possible position for my back.
From a survival standpoint, the recovery position makes the most sense. It makes the neck and belly much less vulnerable than while upright.
Fetal position with chin tucked is most comfortable
Baby in the womb position. So comfortable.
exactly. Fetal position is the best and natural position
I like that I got recommended this at 6:30AM after not being able to sleep because of lower back pain
2:35 do i need the dog for this one?
Yes, he did say it was the least easy position
sleeping on grass is also an essential part
Of course

This is crazy, I literally followed Tetley’s diagrams but it wasn’t from this medical paper but a random google search as far back as 2014. I found the front faced down with the elbows up in combination with daily stretching really helped my posture
I rid myself of pillows 10 years ago, realized I was basically performing sleeping and losing real rest when trying to keep my head on the pillow while my body wanted to move other places
I love the dog's huge smile in the photo where Tetley's outside 😆
My grand parents still sleep in this posture only. In most of the Indian villages people sleep in this postures in normal conditions.
He named 4 postures so what the heck are you talking about
Yes, which one?
Those are the postures that im always ending up in naturally, in attempt to reduce discomfort while sleeping. Im suffering from chronic pain. Thanks for the video !
Try earthing... There's a movie on here about it. It's helped me to wake up pain free and without stiffness.
Man, always knew I had optimal sleeping game🤘🏽🔥
For a second there I thought you were convincing me to sleep without a pillow. I was fearing for my sleep routine because I already sleep on the hardwood floor on a thin carpet, and I really would've tried sleeping without a pillow too lmao.
does your body not ache from that?
@@lets_wrapitup Your body gains the strength to hold its shape without external support. It hurt but only for the first days. All pain went away after 2 weeks. My back rarely aches now, and I rarely get headaches. I recommend it! Plus it’s super minimalist if that’s your jam
@@m.i.c.h.oEven sleeping on your side on the floor is helping your back? Ive been doing it for a month now. Not sure if I notice any changes, although my back isnt exactly in nominal condition being that i broke it a decade ago
@@Snoupity I don’t sleep on my side for the most part. It took a while to do it without hurting my ribs. Sleeping on the floor helped me stop moving around while trying to sleep. I have adhd and I was always tossing and turning. Sleeping on your chest is very difficult, unlike sleeping on a soft bed.
How do you keep from waking up from the cold? I'm Europe all the floors are concrete and even in summer I'll wake up freezing

I just got a futon that is very firm to sleep on, these postures make a lot of sense. Have been struggling to make a pillow work for me. Will try without tonight. ps I have been having some symptoms of neuropathy in my lower back and legs for months, I quit coffee a few days ago and these symptoms have reduced greatly! Around 70% reduction I would say. Have a great day and thanks again for you excellent video!
is it plastic free? research elevated bed, taping mouth, i know a good channel dwelling in supplements but its not the place to brag
my bedroom has never been the most insulated, and in winter my room gets exceptionally cold. i have slept in the folded positions on many occasions. how interesting that it’s utilized like that by other people
During a winter camping trip i actually slept exactly like the example at 2:41! It was around -14 F and I was cold even in my sleeping bag, jacket, and snow pants, so i huddled up exactly like that and it felt a lot warmer. Didn't think it was a thing with a name so that's pretty neat!
Holy moly this channel is a gold mine.
Even as a baby I turned to lie on my belly in position no. 2 - one leg pulled up, elbow supporting my head. My parents were concerned, because current research suggests babies shouldn't sleep on their belly. But I kept turning and turning, every time, they would put me on my back. So they just let it be. I am 43 now. So I guess my natural instincts didn't kill me. And I still sleep in position no. 2 by instinct.
This video has helped me. SImply extending your shoulder forward that you are lying on helps a lot. Thank you.
I've went to these sideway posture variants naturally because I've noticed that sleeping on my back, now older and bulky, caused me to snore.
This is so beautiful. I suck at every sport. It took me like two years to learn to ride a bike and another two to swim, but I am nailing these primitive sleeping positions like a king. I am natural talent
1:44 I sleep exactly like this bringing the leg up as far as it goes, but I wonder if the optimal sleeping pattern changes due to a soft surface. Lying on the side feels better when its a harder surface
I found for myself (without reading any papers) that sleeping on the floor in the manner shown by you as the sleeping position of native people is the natural and best sleeping position for me.
The conclusion of recovering the vertical natural posture makes total sense. Thank you.
I recently stopped using a pillow altogether, having noticed that i was getting a pinched nerve in my shoulder from side sleeping with a pillow. I could avoid the pinch by using multiple other pillows as support, but of course if i move in the night its all over. I also wanted to eradicate my forward-head syndrome. So i stopped using a pillow altogether and its amazingly so comfortable, in any posture. And it tends to lend itself to these natural postures, too.
Sleeping in the right side is sunnah
The healthiest sleeping posture is most likely anything that's not fixed for eight hours straight on a mattress. One would raise several times in the night to tend to the fire etc and sleep on a hard surface or rope net.
I fixed my chronic unilateral SI joint pain by sleeping with both knees bent and stacked. For years I had one straight, one bent. It was years of pain until I fixed that.
I searched for that idea before 3 years or something
Glad to find it on my reccomeded
Who woulda guessed Jim Lahey held the ancient secrets to passing out on the floor
I like to sleep without thinking about my posture
The lookout posture is something I always use when I'm napping on a harder surface like on a picknick. Pretty comfy for a while.
that explains why the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him suggested to sleep with one elbow supporting the neck and head as demonstrated in 1:41
This is further elaborated in Sunan an-Nasa'i 326.

@@pz-br8jk How old was his youngest wife again, 6 - 7 years old right? And 9 at the consummation; He was very literally a kiddy diddler. Literally. By the book. A completely undefendable act.
The lookout position is the most comfortable for me and I put a pillow between my arm and head. It's the only way that I can get to sleep.
I've been actively avoiding sleeping on my back for years now because that's what causes you to get sleep paralysis.
I always sleep on my belly in position similar to this "lookout" position, genetic memory at work
My default position is just lay on my stomach, left hand along the body, right hand raised at eye level with head turned towards it, no pillow. I alternate to either side, all I have to do is turn my head and switch out my arm with the opposite one. I'll try this one in the video.
Insane. I saw this video yesterday night. I'm having trouble with back pain and I figured - what is there to loose? So I slept in the position of 2:58. I didn't really wake up like new but i felt a lot better! It made enough of a difference that I didn't need ibuprophen to have a normal day.
That's a big gain!
In EMT school they tell you to avoid laying people flat on their back while unconscious because they can’t control their own airway…yet that’s how a lot of people sleep!
Man i fucking love this channel
Best position is on the front with arms by either side of body and shoulder resting on a pillow the way the face is pointed.
I've always generally fine with my sleeping posture, but the in my recent years I've transitioned to a more chest down approach, where I put my pillow under my chest, a little to the side, so that my face doesn't twist too much. The thing that is weird is that this posture simply feels amazing, and I don't get it. I become a little restless on the side sometimes, but when I switch to chest down with the pillow under the chest, it just feel good and relaxing. I'm very confused by my reaction.
I would say if you're going to sleep facing down, having a pillow under the chest would be good to prevent the back from arching and the upper torso from retracting.
I have always had really good posture and I sleep very similar to the 1st and 2nd positions, just adjusted slightly with a small pillow. Comfy!
I’ve become aware of how poor my posture is and want to do something about it. Do you offer consultation or a one to one service. I would happily pay to speak and work with someone who knows his stuff like you do. I love your devotion to bringing awareness to the importance of posture, thank you 🙏
Yeah, I give one on one lessons through Zoom. In the lessons you video record yourself through zoom, and that allows you to see what you're doing - which makes a huge difference. You can get more information at my website: it's at the end of the video and in the description/pinned comment (youtube doesn't like links being in comments, otherwise I would just post it here).
Excellent topic, throughout my sleeping life i have noticed that, because of culture i think, i tend to sleep most often on my back, but after starting to pay more attention to my body, i also noticed that sleeping to the side, over my right arm using it as a sort of pillow, is quite confortable as well; after extenuating sessions of trainning this helps me a lot when i'm feeling some kind of muscle disconfort or even gastrointestinal pains of some sort. Quitr good to know your body.
I basically sleep in all the postures of the old man and I usually wake up in the same posture I fell asleep in.
I definitely going to give it a try, I've been deeling with chronic neck and head pains due to bad sleep... Thanks a lot!!!!
I've had to get creative with pillows & positions over the years, v keep experimenting! 👍
no bed. only dirt floor. like our ancestors
The dirtier the better
Lol yeh
that works , youll get used to it
I do think sleeping on the earth would be optimal, but it's not practical for most.
Then sleep in dirty public toilets you sure will get enough smell and it prevents sleep apnea for sure due to real good smell and freshness...
For someone with always clogged nose, its better to sleep with an elevated head. I wake up in the sunrise with a nostalgic feeling when I do that.
I know it's just the colour of his skin but it's so red it looks like he's straining so hard to keep the poses lol. Especially the one with the dog hahaha.
Your channel is excellent, I wanted to give you something that is the root of all the postural and growth problems that are quite censored by medicine, and that is the issue of obstetric violence, the irreversible damage that is caused at birth, which generates irreversible physical, nervous and emotional disorders. I recommend all the books by Michel Odent who explains it well, especially the book "The Baby Is a Mammal", and the book "The Continuum Concept" by Jean Liedloff which is fantastic, the breakdown of the mammalian imprint and colostrum, in labor and birth lies the root of 95 percent of human health problems, and no one talks about it, the system produces it on purpose.
Horse owners who've seen foalng and Dummy Foals should see the connections! 👍😮🐎
The ears are supposed to be over the ankles not the frontal plane. stacking pillows contributes to forward head posture.
I have been sleeping in an 11 ft hammock since 2015! No tossing and turning lower back much improved.
These postures seem like they’re going to fuck up my back.
After sleeping on the floor for a few weeks personally i feel like my posture and back got better not worse
It was uncomfortable and a little painful the first few days but after my body adjusted it’s been great so far
Doubt it. Sleeping on your elevated skincell soaker isn't the norm everywhere.
Best sleep is to sleep the most comfortable way you can though, that's what I think at least. I slept on the floor a lot growing up, due to being poor lol, but I'm fine. Could say it was because I was young, but even being young I was capable of a sore neck or back, just didn't happen from my normal sleep.
Especially the ones that rotate the spine alot

I literally can't sleep like that. too much pressure on arms
Probably your body isn't used to it and can't sit in a comfortable neutral position. I don't think you should bother with these if you're sleeping on a mattress anyway. The first step would be sleeping on a firmer surface, like a pad of some sort, and letting your body adjust to that in whatever position (it will probably improve posture on its own). Then you can consider optimisations.
Yeah if you have big arms, they get numb trying to sleep like that.
Then there’s definitely an underlying problem along with sleep posture

Thats how filipinos in province sleep and they sleep simply on the ground, not bed.
but im asking myself if because of sitting too often the better option wouldnt be to let one leg fully lengthened stretching it and the other crossing supportng lower body, im testing it right now
keeping hands together instinctively seems to keep shoulders to narrowed through night opposing the widening (which let you loose winged shoulder blades) and not relaxing neck and shoulder muscles
i think we would like our body to default to the most relaxing posture in sleep, not one most defensive and closed up it will automatically opt to because of blocked vagus nerve and never ending state of chronic stress and inflammation, relaxing before falling to sleep may be a crucial thing
lack of pillow seems interesting, but physiotharapists point out natural curvatures straining body if not supported as well as keeping natural spread of limbs (like with the chinese 4 pillow system) being most ergonomic, plus sleeping on left side as it aligns organs better (also opposite to neck side with aorta)
im not so concerned with insects (luckily not living in southern hell zone ) but about chemicals in bed sheets, going for cotton was a game changer but the cotton can be of unknown origin from GMO and sprayed who knows what...
insight about laying down in a way that closes mouth is great, worth pondering farther, however keeping jar shut doesnt stop mouthbreathing between teeth
PS Fun Fact. The FIlipinos see salamanders as nearly sacred animals, you will see them under their roofs or on walls but thanks to them you won't notice any mosquitos there! - at least on the island i visited
There is no living creature in nature that sleeps on its back! I believe that the current trend of placing babies on their backs to sleep is cruel. I mean, that is what you might do to a tortoise if you want to torment it! It is supposed to reduce the likelihood of cot death - but I know that if I try to sleep on my back, I end up snoring, and sometimes with mucus draining down into my trachea. Breathing is more difficult, not easier...
Fortunately, when my son was born in 1978, it was still considered normal to place a baby on their stomach to sleep. (He also slept on a lambskin, which was a thing back then - since all baby mammals instinctively clutch at fur.)
I was curious about the modern trend, so some months ago I looked up photos of the great apes sleeping - and they too seem to sleep mostly on their sides, in some variant of the positions shown in the video.
Sometimes my dog does, but I think it's more of a coziness or sunbathing thing.
You're getting recognition day by day. Good to see that!

tried a version of the recovery posture last night. propped my upper arm and leg onto a cushion which i usually do with my arms i find this prevents me rolling onto my back. i find i can let my jaw relax and get a sense of if a posture will cause me to snore and it’s clear this position allows gravity to keep the airway open.
woke up feeling more refreshed than usual. less of the heavy head and dry throa i’m used to. looking forward to experimenting more with this, thanks (:

Amazing. I've always slept in the "primitive" positions, and I was always told these positions were unhealthy. This information feels so validating to me. If these positions are healthy enough for people who live much more natural lives than any of us in the western world, then they are most certainly healthy enough for me. Thank you for sharing this with us 👍
Does it matter where to position while sleeping? Should you sleep on your left or right?
Personnaly i always sleep on right cause it feels better. I discovered later that it puts less pressure on your heart since it's positioned slightly on your left side.
I don't think so, but I don't know for sure. I've heard sleeping on the right is better for circulation and on the left is better for digestion, but I don't think that's an easy thing to prove either way.
I have always been sleeping with the natural posture at least as far as I can remember, but for years I used to wake up with a stiff neck until I got rid of my pillow and used my hand to support my head while falling asleep, since then no more stiff neck and no more resulting headaches.
What about the facial asymmetry that ensues from sleeping on the side?
I think is BS. Is there any proof and detailed study of this subject? I think facial asymmetry is compromised to other issues
Dude thats complete bullshit please for the love of whatever it is you love, dont believe everything. Chew equally with both sides, thats what matters
Fix your teeth before thinking that sleeping on sides does anything
It's bullshit, your facial asymmetry was created in the womb. It's how you were molded. None of us are perfectly symmetrical.
Your body has two sides, use them both
In primitive times, humans didn't sleep on their backs (laid out flat ) because the ground draws too much heat from the body. It would be natural to sleep in a position with the lowest surface area touching the ground which is usually side sleeping and in a fetal position to stay warm.
why would the posture matter you fall to sleep when your body is literally moving dozen of times during sleep
As I say in the video, the sleeping posture is not particularly important. Most people toss and turn, like you say.
