If you’re referring to the claim “If you always sleep on your right side, you should have…”, it’s often used in viral health posts that promise a hidden danger or benefit. The truth is more nuanced:
- Sleeping on your right side is generally safe for most healthy people.
- Some people with acid reflux (GERD) may notice more symptoms when sleeping on the right side; left-side sleeping is often suggested because it may reduce reflux for some people.
- Side sleeping can sometimes help with snoring and sleep apnea compared with sleeping flat on the back.
- The “best” sleeping position depends on your health, comfort, pregnancy status, pain issues, and sleep quality.
