So what people don't realize is your sleeping position progressively starts to suppress the vagus nerve function in, in as little as 10 years old. Because we see reverse cervical curves in children now. But when you amplify that, people start. Your body loses plasticity as we age, neuroplasticity. So the ability to adapt shrinks because of part of the aging, the imperfection of the aging process. So as that amplifies, we see people that have these lost cervical curves due to their poor sleeping positions starting to really amplify the imbalances in that gap right around 35 to 40 years old.
