The small downside: this is the question of balance
It’s not about spending every night frozen on your left side. The key is to listen to your body and prioritize comfort. If you experience shoulder or hip pain, alternate positions. You can also invest in an ergonomic pillow or place a cushion between your knees to reduce pressure.
How to adopt this habit smoothly: Changing your sleeping position doesn’t happen overnight. The easiest way is to fall asleep on your left side, even if you move around during the night. You can place a pillow behind your back to limit tossing and turning. And if you have trouble finding the ideal position, a mattress suited to your body type can also make all the difference.
