In
this video, Chris Prokop interviews Dr. Artour Rakhimov. Today's
question is are there any benefits in sleeping sitting? The
sitting position provides even better oxygen levels, according to the
CP (control pause) test. Dr. Buteyko and Soviet doctors extensively
studied sleep because the majority of people with diseases had an
increase of their symptoms during sleep. Managing sleep factors is
an important part of Buteyko's teachings.
Some
of the sleep lifestyle aspects, include having proper
thermoregulation, preventing mouth
breathing
and more. Most Buteyko specialists, including Dr. Andrey
Novozhilov, the chief doctor from the Buteyko
Clinic in Moscow, believe sleeping sitting is the best position for
health. Sleeping
sitting will allow you, to gain the highest CP results. It will
also, make it possible for you to keep the same CP that you had
before falling asleep.

Our
most recent accessible information about how people slept, is from
the early 20th
century. Most
books do not describe such details about sleep conditions, but some
museums contain historical beds. Having a thicker mattress is a
relatively recent lifestyle change that started around the 1930's or
1940's. Older beds before that were around one meter in length. It
was only possible to sit while sleeping in these beds. Even myths
existed that lying horizontally in bed, will have your body taken
over by a spirit that would eventually kill you.
Various
doctors and studies found out that supine sleep has drastic effects
on breathing and health. Dr. Buteyko and around 200 doctors came to
the conclusion that when the lungs are unrestricted during supine
sleep, it intensifies breathing. The same outcome was determined by
25 Western studies. According to the CP test, there is about a 30%
drop when sleeping in the supine position.
Preparation
of proper sleep conditions and sleep positions are a key part of the
NormalBreathing teaching. Measuring the MCP (morning control pause)
first thing in the morning shows the effects of sleep on your oxygen
levels. The MCP is the most important breathing test because over
night is when oxygen levels usually drop. Keeping the same CP in the
morning as it was during the night, allows the body to have more time
to maintain a high level of health. This also makes your breathing
progress a lot more effective. Additionally, the MCP is used as a
goal to achieve higher levels of health, energy and many more
benefits.
Sleeping
sitting is hard and challenging, but it provides best results for the
morning body oxygen test. With slower breathing (that may take weeks
or months), people naturally sleep better and require less time for
sleep. For example, all NormalBreathing students who got over 60 s
for the body oxygen test in the morning required no more than 4.5
hours of sleep. Dr, Buteyko himself achieved up to about 2 minutes
and 30 seconds for the CP test and had only 2 hours of sleep
naturally.
