Your sleep position could have something to do with the quality of sleep you’re getting.

Dr. Abhinav Singh, the director of the Indiana Sleep Center, and the author of “Sleep to Heal,” weighed in on things.

Sleeping on your back is generally the best position for the spine and can help with chronic back or neck pain, Singh says. It’s also a more breathable position – with your face up toward the ceiling your skin can breathe, your diaphragm can expand fully, and nasal congestion eases.

Side sleeping is another comfortable position, especially during pregnancy.

Side sleeping can also relieve acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) when sleeping on your left side.

A side sleeping position can also help chronic snorers. You’re less likely to snore in the lateral position when your head is turned.

In general, the best sleep position depends on your individual health, but back or side sleeping is considered better than stomach sleeping.
