Can humans sleep standing up? The answer is No.
Humans don’t have the special anatomical feature that locks our legs in place while resting; known as “passive stay apparatus.”
As our brain never shuts down and is very complex. The neurons in our brain produce neurotransmitters that relax muscles during sleep time. The anatomy of humans is designed to relax our muscles during sleep time. So when you fall asleep you fall over.
Our bodies restorative purpose of sleep is not designed to work standing up as we experience temporary paralysis of muscles.
Human anatomy of muscle interactions with joints and tendons in the legs needs REM sleep which is accompanied with passive muscles. And thus, once the muscles, joints and brain goes on relaxation mode the comfy bed / pillow or the floor becomes our friend.
Studies have noted that even some animals require sleep lying down for them to achieve REM sleep like the rest of humans.
In humans, melatonin is a hormone that prompts the brain to take a rest and prepare to sleep. The secretion of many hormones is affected by sleep-wake cycles. The release of serotonin is released in the brain encouraging sleep.
Massage therapy manipulation can directly influence the body’s production of serotonin.
Massage can naturally increase serotonin levels that can help you get a better night’s sleep.
Humans don’t have the leg-locking ability and our organisms spend hours daily of their time in sleep. So remember when you are dozing off or taking a nap your body is supporting its design.
Massage also helps support both our physiology of muscle anatomy, body mechanism, neurotransmitters and hormones of human sleep-wake cycles.
Massage helps restore your sleep patterns as humans are designed to lie down while sleeping.

8 个月In my thoery humans would live forever if they slept standing up every night. Laying down to sleep wasn't the correct way for the heart to sit. In regards to support yeah special supports we need to keep the body upright standing. But I also find that cancer would never occur either because the body is sleeping the way it was intended.

1 年I've been told that I've been sound asleep while standing a few times. At parties.

3 年I call B's! As I'm writing this I am watching my 27 year old son sleep while standing he will do this for hrs then finally fall into something and at times continues to sleep right thru it. He was violated four years ago. He moved away came home and the man had been arrested for violating other males from age 9 on up to you men. He was asked to testify and had to recite to two detectives the whole disgusting episode. He has not slept laying down since unless in my lap which is rare. He does this so much his feet are completely swollen and ankles too. I'm very worried. I can hardly wake him up during these collection of episodes. So sleeping standing up per me watching this first hand the answer yes yes yes.
