Are you a slide sleeper? Well, that’s good for you since sleeping on the side reduces the pressure on your stomach and digestive tract while also improving circulation and promoting the drainage of toxins from your body.

Here are a few tips that will help ensure you get sound sleep every day.

Sleep on your left side often.

The side you prefer can impact the amount of pressure placed on your internal organs. By sleeping on your left side, instead of your right, you can reduce pressure on your stomach and digestive tract as well as promote healthier blood flow throughout the body. Sleeping on your left side can also help alleviate acid reflux and heartburn and help boost digestion throughout the night.

Get a supportive pillow for your neck and head.

If you sleep on your side, make sure you have a firmer pillow that lifts your head, helping to align with your neck and back more naturally. The ideal pillow for side sleepers is constructed of firmer foam with superior contouring.

Sleep with an extra pillow between your legs.

Using a softer pillow between your knees to keep your spine aligned and to reduce pressure on your hips and legs helps reduce the chances of lower back pain and joint soreness when you wake up in the morning.

Opt for a firm mattress.

The experts recommend soft to medium firmness level mattresses for side sleepers as they deliver that ever-important, targeted pressure point relief that alleviates pain at the shoulders and hips.

If you are still not sure which mattress will suit your individual needs the best, you should consult a sleep specialist for guidance. The experts at Nestl can help you too. Feel free to browse through our website to find out what would work the best for you.
