I couldn’t find any credible information online about “Vartem” as a specific sleeping position described as the “most dangerous sleeping position you don’t know about.” It doesn’t seem to be a recognized term in mainstream sleep medicine or health science. If the phrase came from social media, a meme, or speculative content, it’s likely not an evidence‑based medical concept.
However, there are well‑studied sleep positions that experts consider harmful or risky to health, even if they’re comfortable:
🚫 Commonly Cited “Risky” Sleep Positions
- Sleeping on your stomach (prone position) – This can strain your neck and spine because your head must be turned to one side, and the natural curves of the spine are flattened. Over time that can contribute to neck pain, back pain, and discomfort. (NeuroLaunch.com)
- Stomach sleeping with one leg bent up or twisted positions – Some posture experts call variations of stomach sleeping the worst possible position because of unnatural twisting of the neck and spine, which can lead to chronic back and neck issues. (The Economic Times)
🧠 Why Some Positions Are Problematic
- Sleeping face‑down forces your neck to rotate for breathing, which may cause neck muscle strain. (UNILAD)
- Poor spinal alignment over long periods can affect joints, muscles, and circulation, and may contribute to chronic discomfort or morning pain. (AtlantoMed)
- Some positions may also put uneven pressure on shoulders, hips, or jaw. (AtlantoMed)
✅ Healthier Alternatives
Experts often recommend:
- Side sleeping for general spinal alignment and reduced pressure on joints. (WebMD)
- Back sleeping with proper pillow support if spinal alignment and back pain relief are priorities. (WebMD)
If you can tell me where you heard “Vartem” (e.g., TikTok, YouTube, a specific website), I can look more closely at that source and interpret whether it’s credible or just internet hype.
