After a long tiring day we all crave for the same thing. Sleep. Sleep is a necessary part of our routine without which we will get sick.

Some lie flat on back, some lie on belly and some sleep on our sides.

Numbness

If you are habitual of sleeping on one side then you must have felt the numbness in your arm when you wake up. You will notice a squished arm and numbness. You will not feel your arm for some time. This happens because if you put your whole body weight on one arm for a longer period of time like for hours then it restricts the blood flow there.

You also press down on your nerves, causing pins and needles or the “rubber arm.” This may wake you up at night and some people are not lucky enough to get back to sleep immediately. Therefore it can also lead to disrupted sleep or worse, insomnia.

Though sleeping on the right side is not completely a bane as it does help the heart become healthier by lowering your heart rate as well as your blood pressure. However – assuming that you are not pregnant – the best sleep position for everyone is still sleeping on the back.
