How do I sleep in a better position?

What is the best position to sleep in? Is there a "correct" way we as humans should sleep?

  • I've always found myself wondering this. I sleep in the same position every night, and I find it difficult to sleep in any other. I sleep on my stomach. I want to compare and ...show more

  • Answer:

    So far there is not reported death caused by sleeping position, however, sleeping on your stomach was said to cause pressure to your stomach and other major organ. Sleeping on your back (flat) will cause your tongue to drop in your throat and can increase the probability of snoring due to soft palate/oropharynx to relax, and in the case of sleep apnea, to impede the flow of air to a degree ranging from light snoring to complete collapse. Or if you are unconscious, can cause death like what happen during Moscow siege. Based on that, the best would be sleeping at your side. But if you are healthy, who cares.

I don't remember what website I saw it on, but I read that the best position to sleep in is on your back, because everything is in a natural position. When you lie on your stomach, it slightly "crushes" your internal organs (I couldn't think of a better word than crushes). Lying on your right side is okay, but it kind of "crushes" the organs on your right side. Lying on your left side is a little worse because your heart is included in the "crushed" organs. So, the best position is on your back, then right side, then left side, and supposedly on your stomach is the worst. However, I usually lie on my stomach, but I don't find it too extremely difficult to sleep on my back, and it feels better.

I heard that sleeping on your stomach isn't the best choice because you tend to get leg and rib problems. The safest way is to sleep on your back because your body is flat overnight and the food in your stomach isn't rolling around. But I personally find it easier to sleep on my right side.
