Instead, go for a relaxed side position with a slight bend in your knees.
✅ The Best Sleeping Position: Left Side for the Win
Sleep experts say the left side is the healthiest position—and here’s why:
-
Supports digestion: Gravity helps your stomach and pancreas work more efficiently
-
Improves circulation: Especially helpful during pregnancy or for people with high blood pressure
-
Reduces acid reflux: Keeps your stomach contents where they belong
-
Takes pressure off the spine: Aligns your back naturally
-
Boosts oxygen flow: Helps you breathe better, especially if you snore or have sleep apnea
If you’re not used to sleeping this way, try training yourself gradually with a body pillow for support.
