Since childhood, you must have heard elders saying that sleeping on the floor is very beneficial for health. In earlier times, most people used to sleep on the floor, and even today, those who get used to sleeping on the floor do not sleep on soft mattresses. Especially in the summer, when the mattress gets hot, sleeping on the cool floor gives a lot of relief. This habit is not only comfortable, but it also has many health benefits. So let's know why sleeping on the floor is more beneficial for the body than a mattress and why you should not delay in adopting it.

The spine remains straight and strong.
When you sleep on a hard floor, your spine remains in its natural position. In contrast, sleeping on a soft mattress can cause a bend in the spine, which increases the risk of poor posture and back pain. Sleeping on the floor not only keeps your spine straight, but also improves posture and keeps problems like back pain away.
Blood circulation in the body improves.
Due to the flat floor, the body weight is distributed in a balanced manner, due to which there is no excessive pressure on different parts of the body. This improves blood circulation and the supply of oxygen and nutrition to every organ is smooth. This is the reason why the body feels more energetic and refreshed when you wake up in the morning.
If you have back pain, sleep on the ground
For people who have been suffering from back pain for a long time, sleeping on the floor can prove to be very beneficial. Sleeping on the ground gives better support to the back and the spine remains straight, which does not put pressure on the spine and provides relief from back pain.
Sleep quality improves
Sleeping on the floor improves sleep quality because the body feels connected to the ground. This grounding effect promotes mindful sleep and also gives mental relaxation. Also, sleeping on the ground is relatively cool, which cools the body and gives good sleep.

Muscle stiffness goes away.
While sleeping on a mattress, the alignment of the body can get disturbed, due to which the muscles can feel strained and stiff. Whereas while sleeping on the floor, the muscles get a chance to stretch and relax naturally. This habit is especially beneficial for those who have stiffness in the thighs, hips and legs.
