Biomechanical Sleep

Meaning

Biomechanical Sleep refers to the clinical and physiological analysis of the physical and structural elements influencing the quality and restorative nature of sleep. This concept focuses on the interaction between the body’s musculoskeletal alignment, external support systems, and physiological processes during the sleep cycle. It encompasses factors like spinal posture, joint loading, muscle tension, and the resulting impact on nerve function and overall sleep architecture. Optimizing biomechanical factors is essential for minimizing nocturnal discomfort and maximizing deep sleep phases.
