Diving into the Dreamworld: Top Five Sleeping Positions that Reinvent Rest and Revitalize Vigor

The Side Sleeping: The Log or Yearner Position

Dreamstime

Sleeping on your side, particularly on the left side, has been shown to drastically alleviate heartburn and acid reflux. This is known as the log or yearner style, with arms outstretched as if yearning for something.

Research indicates that side sleeping improves brain health by enhancing the brain's glymphatic transport system that helps rid the brain of waste. However, prolonged side sleeping might cause shoulder and arm discomfort due to the pressure. Implement sleeping aids such as knee or body pillows to form a more natural alignment and prevent potential morning soreness.
