Sleeping on your back improves your posture, Flikli’s video below reveals, and it might be a good position to choose if you’re not a snorer, or if you sleep alone.
Side sleepers report lower instances of heartburn and indigestion, but they can experience a sensation of severe pins and needles in their arms and legs.
Stomach sleepers are the least likely to snore, but they should use additional pillows to support their shoulders and hips, which will relieve extra pressure applied to the spine in this position.
If you’re looking for help to stop snoring, getting used to sleeping in a position other than on your back may be the answer, although you should also investigate whether there any other causes.
A short video that briefly explains what your favorite sleeping position can do to your body follows below.
