Elevate your head slightly: Use an extra pillow or wedge to keep stomach acid down.
Place a pillow between your knees: Aligns hips and reduces lower back strain.
Start with naps: Practice left-side sleeping during daytime rest first.
Be patient: It can take 1–2 weeks to adjust.
Note: Avoid stomach sleeping—it strains the neck and spine and worsens reflux.
Who Should Be Cautious?
While left-side sleeping is safe for most, consult your doctor if you have:
Severe heart failure (some find right-side more comfortable)
Shoulder pain on the left side
