Medical experts warn that sleeping in certain positions—especially with legs hanging down, tight clothing, or poor blood flow—can lead to fluid buildup in the feet and ankles. This condition, known as edema, causes visible swelling and can leave dents in the skin when pressed.
Doctors say common triggers include long hours of sitting, dehydration, high salt intake, lack of movement, and underlying heart or kidney issues. While mild swelling may disappear after rest, persistent or painful swelling could signal a serious health problem.
⚠️ Ignoring it can make things worse
If swelling lasts more than a day, is painful, or comes with shortness of breath, medical attention is strongly advised.
Your sleeping habits might seem harmless—but your body may be warning you.
