How to Train Yourself to Sleep on Your Side
- Choose the right pillow and mattress: A good pillow that supports your neck and a comfortable mattress can make side sleeping easier.
- Use pillows as barriers: Position pillows around your body to prevent yourself from rolling onto your back during the night.
- Start with the couch: If you’re used to sleeping on your back, try sleeping on the couch at first to encourage side-sleeping.
While all these benefits are compelling, it’s important to note that side-sleeping isn’t ideal for everyone. Those with conditions like heart disease, sleep apnea, glaucoma, or carpal tunnel syndrome may not benefit from sleeping on their side. If you’re unsure which position is best for you, it’s always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.
