Final Thoughts
Your body may not directly “tell” you the disadvantages of sleeping on your right side, but science highlights several hidden effects—from acid reflux to cardiac strain and muscular pain. Paying attention to your sleep posture is a powerful way to improve rest quality, support circulation, and protect long-term health.
If you’re struggling with nighttime discomfort, experiment with small adjustments like shifting to your left side or improving your sleep environment. Sometimes, a simple change in position can mean the difference between restless nights and truly restorative sleep.
