Sleep better: why you move too much at night (a proven solution)

Sleep better: why you move too much at night (a proven solution)

You sleep poorly because you move too much at night—and no one has ever explained why

If you wake up tired even though you’ve “slept 8 hours,” the problem may not be the duration… nor even your sleeping position… but how many times your body changes position during the night.

And this has been clearly measured by sleep science for a long time.

A scientific study published in the journal Sleep by Canadian researchers (1) analyzed sleep positions and posture changes across five age groups—from children to older adults—using video recordings and polysomnography. 

The result is unequivocal.

 

 

The real problem with modern sleep: nighttime instability

Contrary to popular belief, sleeping poorly isn’t just about a “bad position,” but about constant bodily instability throughout the night.

The study shows that:

  • Children and poor sleepers change position 4 to 5 times per hour
  • Good adult sleepers drop to 2 to 3 changes per hour
  • The better you sleep, the longer and more stable the positions

    In other words:
    👉 Restorative sleep is stable sleep.

     

     

    Sleeping on your back, on your side… or sleeping poorly?

    A detailed analysis of postures reveals several key insights:

    ❌ On the back: the most unstable position

    • Associated with more micro-awakenings
    • Promotes snoring and sleep apnea
    • Correlated with higher nighttime motor activity

    ✅ On the side (semi-fetal position): the natural posture

    • Most common among good sleepers
    • Maintained longer without waking
    • Associated with the longest periods of immobility (over 30 minutes)

    It’s no coincidence that, with age, the body naturally gravitates toward side sleeping.

     

     

    Why you move so much at night (and it’s not your fault)

    Here’s the truth no one tells you:

    👉 Your pillow doesn’t follow your movements. It causes them.

    When the head is no longer properly supported:

    • The neck tenses
    • The brain triggers a micro-awakening
    • The body changes position

    • And the cycle repeats… all night long.

    You don’t “move too much.”: you’re compensating for a lack of support.

     

     

    The anti-awakening weapon: a pillow that moves with you

    This is exactly where the Nappinoo Wellness Pillow changes everything.

    Why it’s remarkably effective for restless sleepers

    • Natural latex flakes: they move silently inside the pillow to adapt to every micro-movement
    • Dynamic support: the head stays aligned even when you change sides
    • Fewer postural breaks = fewer micro-awakenings
    • Longer periods of immobility, exactly what science associates with deep sleep

    Unlike rigid pillows or fixed memory foam, Nappinoo doesn’t force you to stay still.
    It stabilizes you naturally.

     

     

    What science says (and what your body confirms)

    The study shows that:

    • Stable side positions are held the longest
    • Good sleepers have fewer posture changes
    • Sleep quality is directly linked to the ability to maintain a comfortable posture over time

    Exactly what a pillow designed to absorb movement—not fight it— can provide.

     

    In summary:

    • You don’t sleep poorly because you move
    • You move because your support is inadequate
    • Deep sleep begins when the body no longer needs to defend itself

    If you’re a restless sleeper, changing your pillow is often more effective than changing your position.

    That’s where Nappinoo becomes an ally—not an accessory. Discover it.
