Research shows that most of the healing takes place during Stage 2 and Stage 3 sleep, when sleep is deepest and without dreams. During Stage 3 sleep, healing hormones such as human growth hormone are released and the production of stress hormones, such as cortisol, is inhibited.

When you sleep on your back, you stretch your body out evenly on the mattress.
