Sleep is the ultimate stress reliever. Hence, it is important
for you to get at least 8 hours of sleep according to a majority of experts.
While sleep duration is extremely important, sleep position is essential as
well. The best sleep position is your left side and here are reasons you
should henceforth sleep this way.
Aids digestion
The stomach usually sits on the left side of the body. Since
this is the case, sleeping on the left allows waste products to freely pass
through the intestines to the colon. Lying on the right side makes the
digestive process a bit more difficult.
Relieves back
pain
One of the worse sleep positions is sleeping on your backside.
This can lead to serious back pain. Also, note that sleeping on your stomach
results in pressure building up in your back. So, side sleeping on your
left is your sure bet to prevent back pain.
Better
night rest for pregnant women
Doctors strongly advise that pregnant women should always sleep
on their left side because it helps prevents back pain, relieve
pressure from the uterus and liver and ease the distribution of blood
to the foetus and other parts of the body.
Combat snoring
For perennial 'snorers', you can also try sleeping on your left
side to fight or combat those sometimes disturbing and annoying snores. This
position opens your airways by keeping your tongue and throat muscles in a
neutral position.
Enhances brain performance
According
to research, sleeping on the left side helps the brain remove waste from the
body thus preventing diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
