A more restful sleep can be achieved by learning the secret of sleep on the left side.

In terms of digestion, one of the most compelling reasons for sleep on the left side is that this is favourable to the digestive system. Thanks to the law of gravity, when we are lying on the left side, our digestive system is capable of working more efficiently. This is due to the position of our body. Waste from the large intestine can potentially be easily transported to the digestive colon when the digestive system is organized in this way. As a result, you may find that it is less difficult to maintain regular and painless digestion throughout the night, and that going to bed after eating is less of a challenge for you.
A modest improvement in the condition of the heart When it is a question of maintaining a healthy heart, sleeping on the left side of the body is an additional advantage. This position increases circulation and reduces pressure on the heart, as gravity helps the lymphatic system flow to the heart and the aortic system to move away from it. These two drainage systems come from the aortic system. The bedtime routine of anyone interested in keeping a healthy heart could benefit from a not only simple but also beneficial adjustment: a shift to the left.
