Sleep Better Tonight: How Posture, Pillows, and Chiropractic Care Work Together
Quick answer
Better sleep starts with side-sleeping or back-sleeping, a pillow that keeps the neck neutral, a consistent wind-down routine, and addressing the upper-cervical and jaw tension that disrupts deep sleep.
Pillow check
Side sleepers want a pillow that fills the gap between shoulder and ear. Back sleepers want a thinner pillow that maintains a neutral neck.
30-minute wind-down
Lower the lights, put screens down, and do five minutes of slow breathing. Your nervous system can't sleep until it feels safe.
