Sleeping postures.
*(A)* Sleeping on the stomach allows the lumbar curve to collapse into increased lordosis.
*(B)* Placing a small pillow under the abdomen can support the lumbar curve.
*(C)* Sleeping on the side often causes the “upper” thigh to fall toward the other thigh and bed, placing a torque into the sacroiliac joint.
*(D)* Placing a pillow between the thighs supports the upper thigh.
*(E)* When sleeping on the back, tight hip flexor musculature can anteriorly tilt the pelvis, thereby increasing the lumbar lordosis.
*(F)* Placing a roll under the knees relieves the tension from the hip flexor musculature.Sleeping postures.
