Sleeping on your left side: a simple habit to improve your health

How to switch to your left side without forcing it

If you’re not used to sleeping on that side, there’s no need to force yourself to stay there all night. Simply start by settling into that position as you fall asleep. You can also use pillows behind your back or in front of you to help you stay there longer.

And don’t worry: changing sides during the night is completely normal. Even a few hours on your left side can already make a difference.
