Sleeping on your left side is one of the most recommended sleeping positions by some experts, especially for people who suffer from heartburn or acid reflux. When lying on your left side, the stomach remains below the esophagus, which helps reduce the backflow of stomach acid and alleviates the burning sensation and discomfort during sleep.
Some studies also indicate that this position may help improve digestion for some people and provide greater comfort during the night. It is also a preferred position for many pregnant women because it may contribute to improved blood flow to the fetus and vital organs.
