If you’re talking about changing your sleeping position, give it a try—but don’t feel that you’ve been doing something “wrong.” There usually isn’t one universally correct sleeping position.
Choose the position that:
-
Keeps your neck and spine comfortable
-
Doesn’t worsen shoulder, hip, or back pain
-
Doesn’t aggravate acid reflux
-
Lets you breathe comfortably and sleep through the night
If a new position causes pain, numbness, or worse sleep, there’s no need to force it.
