1. Improve body posture
Sleeping on your back on a flat, hard surface is believed to help improving spinal alignment.
It is different when you lie on a soft mattress. Your posture tends to follow the texture of the mattress so that the shape of the spine will also change in accordance with the mattress. This makes the spine unable to sustain its natural shape.
2. Cure rheumatics pain
For some people, sleeping on the floor can be a cheap way to relieve aches and stiff muscles. Especially after sitting too long after a day's work in the office.
Rheumatics are generally caused by poor posture or lack of movement. This habit will continue to suppress the spine, muscles, and joints which will cause a sensation of aches all over the body.
Therefore, it can also occur if you sleep overnight on a mattress that is too soft. Because the spine shapes will continue to follow the shape of the mattress, as a result the muscles of the body will be stiff when getting up in the morning.
3. Smooth the blood circulation
Sleeping on the floor is also believed good for improving blood circulation. When you lie on a flat floor, the heart's work will be easier to pump and drain blood throughout the body because there is no gravitational obstacle from the curve or position of the body that can slow blood circulation.
In addition, the lymphatic system also works better and faster to rinse poisons when the body position lies flat on the floor.
Although the habit of sleeping on the floor has benefits, you still have to be vigilant. Don't sleep too often on the floor, especially without any base. Then, avoid sleeping on the floor when the body isn't fit. (*)
