Sleep quality can be affected by so many things. You’ve likely heard many of the tips suggested to improve sleep. The advice often includes tips like finding a mattress that is supportive and comfortable, sleeping in a dark, clean, and quiet environment, and that exercising and eating a well-balanced diet supports sleep. You’ve probably also heard that limiting any stimulation before sleep and giving yourself adequate time to relax and wind down is prudent. All of these things are valid and are things you should implement if you aren’t already doing so. However, one tip that is often overlooked is the position in which you actually lay your body for sleep.
Chances are high that you have a favorite sleeping position built up from years of just doing it that way. Habits are difficult to break and being comfortable is necessary for a great night’s rest. However, according to science, there is more and more evidence, starting to show that sleeping on your side may very well be the superior sleep position.
