Standing like this is hypermobility, sitting like this and like this is hypermobility, and sleeping like this or like this is hypermobility.

Standing like this is hypermobility, sitting like this and like this is hypermobility, and sleeping like this or like this is hypermobility. If you find yourself sleeping in these pretzel-like positions, you possibly could be hypermobile. And this is different from flexibility. Hypermobility refers to our joints. Our joints don't have the same stability as a typical joint and we lack proprioception, which means that our joints don't get the same sensory input. So in order for us to feel comfortable to fall asleep, we tend to twist ourselves up. But the problem with this is we wake up in a lot of pain. Our hands are numb from dino hands. Our neck hurts because we're so rounded forward in the chest, we're putting a lot of strain on our shoulder joint, our collarbone, and our spine. And then because we drop that hip forward, it puts a lot of strain on our hip joint and our lower back. You may even sometimes feel like you have a rib out. And I know this because this is how I slept my whole life, which is exactly how I ended up at the chiropractor and physical therapist for a shoulder that sounds like this. And one of the first things they told me was stop sleeping with a regular pillow and to switch to an ergonomic body pillow. So I have the Mello Body Align Plus because it has four ergonomic zones, so now I'm supported joint-wise from head to toe. Let me show you. So this hook right here is meant to support your hips and your knees. You're going to put it between your legs like this. The middle is going to support you through the core and then this hook right here goes right in the crook of your neck to support your neck and shoulders. So now the pillow supports me through my whole core, so I can't round forward, but I'm still getting all of that sensory input that makes my body feel like I'm twisted up like a pretzel. My spine, everything stays in alignment, so I'm not waking up in pain. And as a hot sleeper, I really appreciate that they included a cooling pillowcase. And because I loved mine so much, my husband wanted one, so they do come in other colors. The only problem is that I've been sharing this, it's gone absolutely viral, so I don't know what colors are left in stock. If you see the sale below and you see the color you want, I would be quick.
