I spent 10 years working maintenance in hospital, over that ten years I replaced ceiling tiles until I wore out the cartilage in my right shoulder, at 72 I'm a coward for the shoulder surgery but I retired in 2016 and all those years since I left the hospital, I've slept on my left side or flat on my back, but I can definitely tell that sleeping on my left side has been beneficial to my health.

Thank you so much for this. I have had terrible bouts with heart burn (acid reflux). In my research I found that sleeping on the left would help. It improved immediately plus I DID feel more rested and thoughts stopped swirling in my head at night. I wish I would have seen this video long ago.

I sleep on my right side due to a lower disc problem in my back. Been doing it for years, but this video opened up my eyes to sleeping positions. Hell I didn't even know where my liver was! Of course, at age 82 I also have nasty arthritis so how I feel when I get up is a crap shoot. Thank God for Vicadin. Yeah, except it causes constipation but what the hell, ya can't win 'em all. Best to all for a great Holiday season .. Don.

I use to sleep on my left side until I had a stroke during surgery, I had paralysis on my left side, and I didn’t know that they separated my shoulder. 1 month later I have feelings and intense pain in my left shoulder. This was 2019 and I’m still recovering and I can only sleep on my right side.

Anyone who has acid reflux should sleep on their left side to allow the position of the esophagus to drain rather than leak acid up the throat, bec the sphincter lies open. 1st thing in a.m. drink 1/2 tsp baking soda in a half glass of water; neutralizes the entire esog & stomach too. You'll feel better immed.

I sleep on my right side if you think about it your heart is situated more by just a bit on your right side so if you sleep on your side your actually giving heart a bit more room than if you sleep on your left

@davidarundel6187Ай бұрын
Left side sleeping , gives the heart more room to function properly , it's also less pressure on the left , going by your posit - if the heart is slightly to the right , it's there for the space , which when left side sleeping , provides a larger space for the heart , and less weight , for it to bear .
@theodorajuskiw528311 күн бұрын
Your heart is slightly on the left side of your body and sits between your right and left lung, the left lung is slightly smaller to make room for the heart in your left chest

What if you are left handed? After my chiro cured me of sleeping on my stomach I have been preferring my left side. HOEVER I have about 3 minor afflictions on my left side that frequently tell me it's time to change. I think this is something to explore further. Maybe those monks just responded to their teachers views. WHat if they now switched to right side and were told by techer that this would be even better?? Sometimes flat on back is a relief. Had a friend who slept on back with device so it was a real help to her. To me son, his was a nuisance.

I have been seeing and hearing a lot about sleep positions. Problem is, most of us don't have any control which side we sleep on after we actually fall asleep. I can initially fall asleep on my left side but after that it's anyone's guess how I end up through the 8 or so hours. I sometimes wake up sleeping on my stomach, which ain't good!

This Zen story highlights how even seemingly small actions can have a profound impact on our well-being. By simply shifting our sleeping position, we can potentially improve our digestion, circulation, and overall health. It's a reminder that sometimes the simplest changes can lead to the greatest transformations.
