Regarding Sleep Position and IOP
When THE NECK IS TIGHT,THE MUSCLES ARE FIRING ACROSS THE VAGUS NERVE THROWING THE CELIAC GANGLION (WHICH DOMINATES THE DIAPHRAGM) AND MAY PUT IT INTO SPASM.
A SIGNIFICANT SIGN OF THIS IS THE INABILITY TO ABDOMINAL OR BELLY BREATHE. MANY PEOPLE ARE LIMITED TO CHEST BREATHING, WHICH DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE OXYGEN TO THE HEART AND BRAIN. I HAVE SEEN THIS REPEATEDLY IN BELLY OR SIDE SLEEPERS.
