You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to stay rigidly on your left side all night. But if you wake up with reflux, shoulder pain, or a numb arm – try flipping over. See what happens.
And if you’re perfectly happy on your right side, with no symptoms at all? Keep sleeping that way. Your body will tell you if something needs to change.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, it’s time for me to sleep – on my left side, with a pillow between my knees, and no food within three hours of bedtime.
Sweet dreams.
Now I’d love to hear from you. Are you a right-side or left-side sleeper? Have you noticed differences in your heartburn, digestion, or comfort? Drop a comment below – your experience might help someone else decide which side to choose.
And if this article helped you understand your sleeping position better, please share it with a friend who complains about nighttime heartburn or achy shoulders. A text, a link, a conversation. Better sleep is worth sharing.
