Sleep on your back or on your side, never on your stomach. Your body needs seven to eight hours each night to cleanse, filter, repair and rejuvenate. Use a good quality pillow like Chiro-Flow, and do not use a feather pillow, as it does not provide proper support. Do not forget to rotate your mattress according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you have insomnia you may have adrenal fatigue.
