Question 6

is it true that sleeping on your belly will cause lower back pain?

Accepted Answer

No and yes: Many people sleep on their stomach and have no back pain. However, if you do have back pain, sleeping on the stomach may often make it worse. The best way to sleep for people with back pain may be on the back with a pillow under the knees, or on the side with knees slightly bent.

Question 7

could sleeping on my stomach cause lower back pain the next morning and day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Lower back pain can be aroused by a sleeping position not mechanically aligned with a person's anatomy and/or idiosyncratic chronic injuries.  The wisdom of the body helps people to determine their best sleeping postures, as do the structural definitions of the sleeping surface.  For example, people with one sacroiliac joint injury prefer sleeping on the opposite side with a pillow between legs.
