sTHE NEXT TIME YOU’RE CHATTING WITH A CUSTOMER, ask them how they sleep. A recent article from the Better Sleep Council breaks down the pros and cons of each sleeping position.

Did you know sleeping on the left side can be more beneficial than on the right? It reduces pressure on your internal organs, which can alleviate heartburn. This position is ideal for spinal alignment and helps minimize snoring. It is usually best for older adults, pregnant women and those with sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease or heartburn.

Back sleeping offers excellent spinal alignment and fewer skin wrinkles. The position is particularly beneficial for those with lumbar spinal pain, neck pain or nasal congestion. However, it might be problematic for those who have sleep apnea, GERD or acid reflux, or who are pregnant, older or overweight.

For those with sleep apnea and snoring issues, stomach sleeping could be good. But it can also cause neck, back and shoulder pain. Try placing a pillow under your pelvis to alleviate spinal pressure or stretch in the morning to align your body.
