3 positions to know (and their effects)
| Position | Risks | Potential benefits |

| On the left side | Improved circulation and digestion | Recommended for reflux |
What you can do starting tonight
Changing your sleep habits doesn’t happen overnight, but a few simple steps can already make all the difference:
- Sleep on your left side: this improves circulation and limits acid reflux.
- Use an ergonomic pillow: to keep your head properly aligned with your spine.
- Slightly elevate your torso (not just your head) if you suffer from snoring or mild sleep apnea.
- Place a pillow between your knees if you sleep on your side: this helps to align the hips and relieve joint pain.
Inspiring testimonials
Harold, 72, had always slept on his back. He felt better as soon as he switched to sleeping on his side.
Linda, 68, saw her nighttime reflux disappear by slightly elevating her torso.
Like them, you could experience benefits from the first week.
Did you know that?
During the night, your brain naturally “cleans” itself thanks to the glymphatic system. Sleeping on your side promotes this process, which may even reduce the risk of cognitive decline with age.
What if the best way to take care of your health … was simply to sleep better?
