5. Relieves Back Pain
Who among us hasn’t woken up crooked because we fell asleep in an odd position that causes back or neck pain? (If you have never had that problem please tell us the secret.) If you wake up in more pain than usual, sleeping on your left side could be the solution.
To begin with, sleeping on your left side releases stress on your spine. The more pressure your back has, the more effort your muscles have to make to keep everything in place. Going a little deeper when you sleep on your left side improves your circulation. This has an effect on tense muscles that helps them reduce inflammation.
