What is the Best Sleeping Position?

Experts say the way you sleep can affect both your sleep quality and overall health.

Everyone needs sleep to recharge their body for the next day, but sleeping in the wrong position can affect both your sleep quality and overall health. According to Sleep Foundation, the most popular and best sleeping position is side sleeping. It supports proper spine alignment, reduces snoring, and benefits digestion and heart health. Back sleeping is the second most popular. It can help alleviate back pain, but can increase snoring. The fetal position is most common for pregnant women and can help with sleep apnea. And stomach sleeping, only used by 7 percent of adults, is declared the worst position and can lead to headaches, arm, and shoulder pain.
