Some Sleeping Positions:
- Side Sleeping
Side Sleeping is practically the best sleeping position for many reasons.

Second, sleeping on the side may alleviate heartburn, a study suggested.
- Back Sleeping
Back Sleeping cannot be fully determined as the best or the worst sleeping position as it entirely depends on how you sleep. Nobody can sleep completely straight while sleeping on the back. Some adjustments are made every now and then. It can be bad due to the effect of gravity which pulls your tongue backward, which may be dangerous. It could be best if slept without a pillow as it gives a neutral position for the neck and back to rest.
- Stomach Sleeping
Sleeping on stomach is termed as the worst sleeping position as it can lead to severe back and neck pain. Sleeping on stomach also leads to pressure on the muscle which eventually leads to numbness and irritated nerves.
