Hey Mobilistas,
How does your bed affect your resting/recovery/adaptation position? Is your bed making you worse? Do you spend a full third of your life in a crappy position?
Make a better decision. And be sure to check out MWod Episodes 37 and 38!

this is me.
THIS IS GREAT!! The one question I forgot to ask this weekend while you were in Indianapolis was about the best position to sleep in and bamn! here it is. I literally was getting ready to send an email about this tomorrow. MWOD greatness.
Side sleeping is a no go?
This is great! I just bought a new bed and I’m a stomach sleeper and was hoping to train myself to be a side sleeper but I’ll impliment this.
One request: I love your videos but sometimes they are hard to watch because there is so much background noise. It would be great if you guys could use a lapel mic.
Keep ‘em coming!
What do you suggest for pillows? I try and sleep on my back, but I am a die hard tummy sleeper…. on quite a hard bed!
Here is one: Episode 38: Sleep, Pillows, and What Your Low Back Says About Your KB Swing
Episode 37: Your Pillow is Killing Your Neck?
So what exactly is the recommendation here beyond get a new mattress? If you sleep in overextension what do you do about it – pillow under the legs?
I sleep in that exact position! Both positions shown. You did a great job in describing it but you didn’t really explain how to sleep properly. Could you explain that?
Agreed, it makes total sense, but is the solution to have the pillow under the legs?
I sleep in the very same position – frog’s legs and hands over my head. Funny
. Or rather not.
I’ve been sleeping on the floor with a pillow under my knees and a small rolled towel under my neck – any advice on that?

I would tend to think this weirdo knows something about sleeping on the floor

How come nobody ever replies to any comments here.
good one.
Love the idea of the video, but I think you should add about 3 extra minutes to it suggesting fixes.. You ended the video with so much potential left to talk about!
Just an idea.

After watching this, I woke up the next morning completely aware of why I didn’t feel rested, and why my shoulders, back, hips, etc were jacked up. So maybe I missed it, but what exactly are the fixes for this? Felt like a few minutes of video were missing…
I agree with some of the comments here. Would have loved to hear some ideas on how to fix some of these things. For me personally it’s the shoulders forward while I sleep.
Hey All,
I actually made two episodes about sleeping position WAAAY back at episode 37 and 38.
What I didn’t talk about in those episodes was what your body was doing whilst in poorly supported position.

To those asking what to do, the takehome I got from this is…MOBILIZE. (shocking, I know). If your hips are tight, you get overextended when sleeping on your back, so work on your hips. If you miss internal arm rotation, you’ll get DB shoulder overnight, so work on internal rotation. Was there something I missed, cuz the fixes seem pretty obvious to me.
