Side sleeping

Topic

Side sleeping, also known as the lateral sleep position, is a common sleeping posture where an individual rests on either their left or right side, often in a fetal or semi-fetal configuration. It is widely recommended by healthcare professionals as it can help reduce snoring, alleviate symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, and improve spinal alignment when properly supported. Research suggests that lateral sleeping is the most prevalent sleep position among adults and offers distinct physiological benefits compared to back or stomach sleeping.
