Left Side Sleeping

This position improves digestion and promotes better circulation. It’s especially helpful for those with acid reflux or snoring issues. It also keeps the spine aligned and eases pressure on the heart.

Fetal Position

Curled up on your side with knees pulled slightly in? This cozy pose reduces stress on the back and is great during pregnancy too. Just make sure not to tuck in too tightly—it can restrict deep breathing.

Flat on Your Back

Sleeping on your back with arms at your side is excellent for spine alignment and reducing wrinkles (yes, really!). Place a small pillow under your knees to reduce pressure on your lower back.

Starfish Position  

This back-sleeping position can help prevent tension headaches and reduce pressure on the shoulders and spine. However, it may cause snoring for some, so it’s not ideal for everyone.

 Reclined Sleeping  

If you deal with sleep apnea or back pain, slightly elevating your upper body using an adjustable bed or extra pillows can help you sleep more comfortably and deeply.

No matter the position, make sure your mattress and pillow support your spine. And if something feels off—listen to your body!
