The difference between sleeping on your right or left is negligible if you’re a healthy, fit person.
However, if you regularly experience heartburn or have digestive issues, it may make all the difference.
Most professionals support sleeping on the left side over the right.
Why?
Because of human anatomy – our stomach, spleen, pancreas, and heart are on the left side.
So if you sleep on the left, you won’t be fighting gravity to keep your stomach acid from traveling up your esophagus or make it harder for your heart to pump blood through your veins.
Makes sense, right?
Let’s see how this position is good, bad and ugly for you.
