Why sleeping on your left side is recommended

We often hear that it’s better to sleep on your left side. But why is this position so special? More than just a habit, it actually offers real health benefits, supported by both traditional medicine and modern science.

A natural aid to digestion

Sleeping on the left side makes it easier for the digestive system to do its job. Our stomach and pancreas are located on the left, and this position helps food move more smoothly into the small intestine. The result: easier digestion, less acid reflux, and a lighter feeling upon waking.

Better lymphatic drainage

The left side is dominant in the lymphatic system, which plays a vital role in removing toxins from the body. Sleeping on this side stimulates this natural network and helps the body cleanse itself more effectively during sleep.

Relieving the heart

The heart is slightly tilted to the left. Sleeping on this side reduces pressure on this vital organ and encourages better blood circulation. For pregnant women, this position is also recommended to improve blood flow to the fetus and placenta.

Reducing snoring and improving breathing

Sleeping on the left side keeps the airways clearer compared to lying on your back, which helps reduce snoring and supports more regular breathing.

Tips for adopting this habit

Changing your sleeping position isn’t always easy, especially if you’re used to sleeping on your back or right side. Here are a few tips:

• Use a comfortable, supportive pillow for your head and neck.
  
  

• Place a small cushion between your knees to keep your spine aligned.
  
  

• Choose soft, breathable bedding, like Zizzz duvets made from Swisswool and organic cotton, which naturally adapt to your body and promote restful sleep.

Sleeping on your left side is a simple change that can truly make a difference. Why not give it a try tonight? Your body might just thank you in the morning!
