See why you should NEVER sleep on your right arm. You will have more diseases.

After a long day of work, running around, and being on your feet there is nothing better than coming home to the cozy comfort of bed. For many of us, our bedrooms are our sanctuaries, where we can completely relax, let our guard down, and relax. It is also the place where the vast majority of our lives are spent. That's because the average person sleeps eight hours a day. Over a lifetime, this represents spending about a third of our total lives sleeping.

While it is common knowledge that a good night's rest is vitally important for maintaining our health and well-being, both mentally and physically, it is not as well known that sleeping position can also greatly affect your health.

There are many different ways that people like and prefer to sleep. The most common seems to be left or right, on your back, and curling up in the fetal position. Each position affects your health in different ways which can be good or bad.

For example, sleeping on the back can be dangerous for people who have asthma and/or sleep apnea, because it increases the risks associated with breathing difficulties. Alternatively, sleeping on your right side can aggravate digestive problems and end up making you feel much worse. These negative effects and problems cause not only a lower quality of sleep, but also less quantities.

Side sleeping is the best of all other sleeping positions in terms of the benefits it has on our body health, sleeping on the left side can do many things, including helping you digest better and easier. It improves the overall condition of the digestive system, allowing the body to extract nutrients and eliminate toxins faster and more efficiently. In addition, it also affects our circulation and cardiovascular health because the heart is able to pump the descent and blood circulates more efficiently to the heart.

Additionally, sleeping on the left side allows bile and waste to travel more freely through the body and helps improve spleen function. This translates into better lymphatic drainage and more toxins leaving the body, with less stress and its negative effects on our health.

Dr. John Douillard explains these benefits in greater detail and covers much more in the accompanying video. It's amazing how much of a difference the position you sleep in can have on your body.

If you are not sleeping on your left side yet, you should try to make the switch as soon as possible. Each of us has a habitual and preferred way of sleeping and it can be difficult to break that habit, but it is possible to change it with a few minor adjustments.

You can train your body to sleep on the left side by turning on a light that is located on the right side of where you sleep. Your body naturally wants to move away from the light source and therefore you are going to position yourself on the left side. There are many other ways that people have used effectively to change sleeping positions, you just have to find out which way works for you. If sleeping on your left side improves health and promotes better sleep, why wouldn't you want to do it!
