- Best for spine and neck alignment
- Helps prevent acid reflux (head elevated)
⚠️ May worsen snoring or sleep apnea due to tongue collapse
💡 Ideal for those with GERD or chronic back pain — use a supportive pillow.
3. On Your Stomach (Prone)
- Worst for spinal health — twists the neck and flattens natural curves
- May relieve snoring slightly
⚠️ Increases pressure on joints and organs
💡 Not ideal, but if you must: use a thin pillow (or none) and place one under your pelvis to reduce strain.
4. Side Sleeping (Left or Right)
- Excellent for brain detoxification (via glymphatic system)
- Left side may aid digestion and heart health
- Reduces sleep apnea symptoms compared to back sleeping
✅ Recommended for most people — especially those with respiratory or circulatory concerns.
