The best side to sleep on depends on your health and comfort:
- Left Side: Generally recommended for digestion, heartburn relief, and improving circulation. It's especially beneficial for pregnant women and people with acid reflux.
- Right Side: Can be more comfortable for some people, but it might aggravate acid reflux and put slight pressure on internal organs.
- Back Sleeping: Good for spinal alignment but may worsen snoring and sleep apnea.
- Stomach Sleeping: Not recommended as it strains the neck and spine.
If you have a specific health concern, like acid reflux or back pain, left-side sleeping is often the best choice.
