Do Not Sleep On Your Stomach
• Takhfah ibn Qays al-Ghifaari said: When I was lying on my stomach in the masjid just before dawn, a man nudged me with his foot and said •►
“This manner of lying is hated by Allaah.” I looked and saw that it was the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllahu ályhi wasallam)
[Narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawood in al-Sunan, Kitaab al-Adab, no. 5040, graded as Sah by al-Albaani in Sah Abi Dawood].
• Ibn Takhfah al-Ghifaari that Abu Dharr said:The Prophet (sallAllahu ályhi wasallam) passed by me and I was lying on my stomach. He prodded me with his foot and said •►“O Junaydib! This is how the people of Hell lie.”
[Ibn Majaah - 3724, al-Tirmidhi, no. 2798, Sah al-Jaami’, 2270-2271]
Science of now a days:
Sleeping on your stomach places a strain on your back and spine. This is because the middle of your body is where most of your weight is. This makes it difficult to maintain a neutral spine position when you are sleeping.
Stress on the spine increases stress on the rest of your structure. Additionally, since the spine is a pipeline for your nerves, spinal stress can cause pain just about anywhere in your body. You can also experience tingling and numbness, as if parts of you have “fallen asleep” (while the rest of you is uncomfortable and wide awake).
Unless you’ve somehow figured out how to breathe through your pillow, you need to turn your head to the side when you sleep on your stomach. That puts your head and spine out of alignment, twisting your neck. You might not notice the damage this causes after one episode of stomach sleeping, but over time neck problems can become evident.
The neck problem you really don’t want is a herniated disk. That’s when one of your spinal vertebrae has shifted enough to rupture the gelatinous disk inside it. When this gel leaks, it can irritate the nerves.
