How to sleep correctly?

My neck and shoulder always feel stiff when I wake up, no matter what pillow I use. My physiotherapist said it might be my sleeping posture. What's the correct way to sleep to avoid these issues?

Correctly? Like a superhero, with one eye open and ready to save the world, lol! Honestly though, just find a position that doesn't make your back scream in the morning. And no, falling asleep with your phone on your face doesn't count as correct.

Yaar, 'correctly' toh depends on your body, no? Actually, I try to sleep on my side with a pillow between my knees. It helps my back a lot. And seriously, no caffeine after evening, it's a game changer.

I can only tell you what works for me, not sure if it's 'correct' for everyone. I sleep on my back with a small pillow under my neck, not a big fluffy one. And I make sure my room is completely dark and quiet. That's my secret, nothing fancy.

For me, proper sleep is linked to my workouts. If I exercise regularly, especially in the mornings, I sleep much deeper. Also, I try to keep my dinner light and early, gives my body time to digest before sleeping. That's my routine for good rest.

Bro, sleeping 'correctly' is mostly about comfort. I used to sleep like anywhere, now I just try to make sure my neck isn't bent weird. And no screens before bed, like seriously, that helps a lot. My sleep improved a lot after that.

Trying to sleep 'correctly' might mean different things for different people, and sometimes it can point to underlying issues. If you're consistently uncomfortable, maybe a sleep study or consultation with a doctor could help. They can be a bit expensive, so plan for it if you decide to go that route.
