The relative position of bones, joints, nerves, as described by human anatomy, is the basis of any functional output so that the normal anatomical relationship of all the above elements has to be preserved to prevent negative consequences. Disturbances (incorrect relative positions) can lead to severe vegetative dysfunctions. The normal spatial relationship between spines and spines and scull can be restored for instance during sleep.
The functional anatomy of the spinal column looks different between lying down and sleep. Body posture is voluntarily controllable and adjusted when a person lies down. During sleep, however, the voluntary control is given up since otherwise the relaxation during nocturnal rest would be impaired.
The anatomy does not allow to achieve a relaxed sleep when lying on the back, and lying on the belly stresses the spinal column. – The anatomy requires the lateral position for restful sleep.
The anatomical structures of this cervical spine and its connection to the skull are compressed by the wrong position. The bone structures are hardly visible.
