Sleeping on your back helps to rest your head, neck and your back as it is in the best possible position with a complete support. The body is resting in a neutral position without causing any kind of discomfort to any other parts of the body. In this position the head is in the elevated position, above the esophagus and stomach lies below which aids in the right movement of food. Sleeping on your back also helps in preventing wrinkles as the body in such position prevents anything pushing against the face.

Side position is the next best position to be sleeping in. This position benefits overall health in general. It decreases snoring and also helps to maintain the elongated position of your spine. This position is best to avoid an acid reflux too. This position is the best recommended position for pregnant women. Sleeping on your right side is considered better as it will benefit the spinal cord as it helps in relaxing in its natural position. Sleeping on the left side however is not as good as it constricts the internal organs especially the lungs and the liver.
