sleeping pose

How you recline

A sleeping pose is the position someone assumes while asleep or falling asleep—on their back, side, or stomach, with limbs arranged in characteristic ways.

The term appears in discussions of sleep quality, physical health, and body mechanics: Changing your sleeping pose can help with back pain.

In yoga and meditation, sleeping pose typically refers to savasana, a restorative position lying flat on the back with arms at the sides.
