Front, Back or Side? We all have a favourite sleep position — but is yours the healthiest?

It's Not Just About Hours: Getting 7–9 hours of sleep is important, but how you sleep matters just as much.

Avoid Sleeping on Your Stomach: This position strains your spine, nerves, and even your breathing. It can also raise your heart rate.

Sleep on Your Side: Especially on your left side, it aligns your spine, reduces snoring, and helps with sleep apnea.

Support Matters: Use a pillow between your knees and one under your torso to stay on your side through the night.

Back Sleeping Is Second Best: Sleeping on your back is also good — just keep your knees slightly raised for better support.

Choose a firm mattress, a good pillow, and focus on spine alignment. Comfort + posture = restful sleep.
