The human body utilizes sleep as a crucial period for healing and recovery. It's during sleep that vital processes of detoxification and repair occur. However, sleeping on a flat bed might not provide the optimum position for these healing processes to unfold effectively. Inclined Bed Therapy, a method that involves elevating the head of the bed by 6 inches, significantly enhances the body's healing capabilities during sleep. This beneficial sleeping position can relieve and improve numerous health conditions, such as back pain, digestive issues, and sleep apnea.
Inclined Bed Therapy (IBT) is not a modern-day innovation but has a historical foundation that Andrew K. Fletcher from the UK brought to the forefront. Andrew Fletcher’s extensive research and experiments have paved the way for understanding the health benefits of this simple change in sleeping posture.
In the mid-1990s, Fletcher made a significant breakthrough by establishing the connections between the body's inclination during sleep and improved circulation. His work highlighted how elevating the head of the bed positively impacts blood and lymph fluid movement, emulating the natural gravitational pull and optimizing the body's healing processes during sleep.
