Are you a side sleeper who often finds yourself tossing and turning, struggling to get comfortable at night?
If so, you’re not alone. Many side sleepers experience discomfort, especially when their knees collide during the night. The good news is that there’s a simple solution to enhance your sleep quality: sleeping with a pillow between your legs.
Why Do You Feel the Urge to Put a Pillow Between Your Legs?
Understanding the Sleeping Position
One of the primary reasons why you may feel the urge to put a cushion or pillow between your legs is your sleeping position. Side sleepers, who make up a significant portion of the population, often struggle to maintain proper alignment during sleep. The natural tendency is for the upper leg to lean down onto the lower leg, causing the knees to collide. This misalignment can lead to discomfort, restless nights, and even chronic pain over time.
