How sleeping positions affect your health and spinal alignment

Side sleeping is generally recommended for spinal alignment, breathing, and overall sleep quality. It can benefit those with sleep apnea, back pain, and indigestion. Back sleeping maintains spinal alignment but worsens snoring and sleep-disordered breathing. Stomach sleeping is the worst for spinal health, causing strain on the neck and back. Sleeping positions impact spinal alignment, breathing, and sleep quality. Side sleeping is often best, while stomach sleeping can cause significant damage.
