Sleeping on Your Left Side! Dr. Mandell

[@leslieking6259]

For the past several years, I've only been able to sleep on my left side. Glad to know that's a good thing.

[@johngreydanus2033]

Yeah, I noticed this the last few years also, I will start off on the right side because that's the side to get in and my cat joins me; then after 10 mins or so, I do a rotisserie turn over and straight to sleep.

So true, I learned this over 40 years ago when I was pregnant, the doctor recommended sleeping on the left side for blood flow.

[@marywallace2914]

Yes, I too remember them saying to sleep on a particular side for that reason. It’s been 24 years ago and I couldn’t recall which side they said. Glad he shared this with us.

[@dorarolfzen4132]

Also when you are having labor pains @ the hospital. Lay on your left side until the labor pains start up again. When the labor pain pauses lay back on your left side. Keep repeating until the baby is born. It helps the heart. ❤ Amen ❤ I learned this about 35 year's ago.

[@FR-ty5vn]

Fascinating - I’ve had esophagitis since the 80’s at least - I alway thought sleeping on your left side where your heart lies would put pressure on the heart from the bed.

[@stradaveriusfiddle]

A long time ago, I heard a doctor who recommended the same, about sleeping on the right side to reduce pressure on the heart. I’m pretty surprised to hear this doctors opposing theory. I guess it makes sense, but I’ve been sleeping on my right side for a couple decades, and when I had a recent cardiologist check up, he said that my arteries, etc are generally clear of plaque and pretty good shape for my age. 🤷‍♂️ but this is going to be making me think about trying out sleeping on my left side.

[@cobwebtheorem7538]

I was coming here to type THIS. Was always led to believe sleeping on the right side reduces pressure on the heart, but what do I know?🤔

[@asilaamour6802]

I agree with you

[@kylegoodman9997]

Sleeping on your right side, also known as the right lateral position, may be best for people with heart problems. This position can help maintain the heart's stability and relieve cardiac strain. It also moves the heart further away from the chest wall, which can help prevent the heart from being pressed against it. Some studies have found that people with heart failure often prefer to sleep on their right side. This could be a protective mechanism because the left-side sleeping position can cause discomfort due to the sensation of the heart beating against the chest wall

[@SRHisnum1]

Well that just went against everything he just said. He said sleep on the left side. Yogis say sleep on your back is the only n proper way. I sleep on my right and I have heart issues and back issues as well as sleep apnea and I'm fluffy.

[@suzieichinger]

You are correct. When I worked in the ICU and had really unstable cardiac patients, putting them on their left side was always tenuous, and when I worked in hospice if somebody wasn’t moving along and walking through the veil, shifting them over to their left side…they’d pass.

[@glike2]

"Research from the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) suggests that sleeping on your right side may help the brain's waste clearance system work better. ", is missing from this video.

So.. it depends... Who knew? It always does... Listen to your body, not a fast speaking person claiming to be knowledgeable on KZbin..

[@MichaelMatisko19]

That’s interesting for sure. When I sleep on my left side and wake up my chest/heart area hurts. I’ve always thought it was angina but really don’t know. I prefer the right side.

They don’t want to do surgery because of my age and my health ever since I’ve been living in this motel I can only sleep on my left side, mostly because the bed is so high I can barely get up into it.

[@user-gu3tx5xc2c]

It doesn't matter one way or the other, which side but a comfortable pillar should be placed under the head when lying in a fetal position, so oxygen and blood pressure flow evenly throughout the body. And if you are very slim, then you may also need a small pillow between knees and ankles bone so there's no pressure or pain that can be uncomfortable. I hope this helps, dear. ❤️

I'm a big believer in your own body knowing/telling you what's best for you if you pay close attention to your own instincts. Everyone is different & what maybe fine for one person may not be, for another. ( For e.g. while a woman is pregnant her own body tells her what the baby needs nutritionally by the cravings she will have ... and sometimes these cravings are seemingly for the most unusual things & vary for different women etc And if someone is ill the body tells them when to sleep, eat, drink, not eat and so on and so on. What may be correct for one person may be detrimental to another. People just aren't used to (really) paying attention to their own body's as much nowadays. ( just my opinion )

Gravity on the right pulls the heart out of its natural position, which causes it to work harder when you are sleeping. When you are sleeping, your heart should also be resting. On your left side, it allows the heart to relax because it's in its natural position and it's not struggling for oxygen. Hopefully, that made sense.

​@@toshab.9668Sleeping on the left side is not recommended for people with heart conditions. Which generally includes elderly people. Otherwise, it's okay and probably beneficial.

WOW ! ..So amazing to hear this ..Been a left side sleeper since I was a child, nice to know my inner senses told me to do this naturally.. Thank you for the wisdom ..🙏.

Absolutely 💯 true, we have senses we have no idea about. guided by the light I guess

Sleep flat on your back/chest, to keep your spine aligned, also with an orthopedic matress. This guy's advice puts pressure on your hear valves, ages and mis-shapes collegen on one side of your face, and can cause curvature of the spine. I have multiple world records for sports and speed, so what possible beneift can I get fom this when I already far outweigh my oppenents? There will be none, sadly because this doctor does not have a certification badge, like DR. Gary linkov on here. Sorry to dissapoint you, but it's not great advice for optimum body care. Lay on your back. tilting the face slightly back to uplift the face naturally and reverse gravitational effects and increase hair growth through scalp blood circulation

[@awardwinningcritique6895]

@@gordonpkm7560 Absolutely. I'm a firm believer on sleeping however is most comfortable. With the magic of pillows, you can align your spine in any position 😊 Although be aware you'll lose facial symmetry hard sleeping on one side, like did when I developed the bad habit 😥 Keep the rotisserie going haha

If I sleep on my left side my arm & shoulder goes numb, unfortunately…🥴

[@stopbeingsomean]

Me too

[@TamTran-zp1xb]

@@stopbeingsomean, because the pressure rest on your shoulder and left arm ! Put a small , soft pillow on shoulder ,and use body pillow between your legs

And after 25 years of sleeping on your left side, you get a rotator cuff tear. And after 50 years, you get constant pain in your back and left hip.

[@bianchaesson1441]

WOW!!! I do think it's good to change sides throughout the night. I would find it difficult to be on one side all night!

[@MamaB24-7]

@@bianchaesson1441I agree,so I rotate the sleep pattern.

[@claudiascott6484]

I rotate during the night, probably more on the left side, but I rotate.

[@wjatube]

I sleep 4 hours on my right. Then I flip on my stomach for 1 hour. Then I move to my recliner for 1.5 hours. It's the only way my 50 yr old body can get 6 hours of sleep at night.
