WHAT'S THE BEST POSITION TO SLEEP IN?
BBC Science Focus
|July 2025
There are plenty of claims about the “best” sleep position — for example, it’s often thought that sleeping on your left side aids digestion.
This idea comes from basic anatomy: the stomach sits to the left, and its outlet (the pylorus) tilts slightly to the right, connecting to the small intestine.
There's some evidence that left-side sleeping may reduce acid reflux compared to the right, as it positions the stomach in a way that makes acid less likely to creep up into the oesophagus. If you suffer from reflux or heartburn, it certainly could be worth trying.
