You spend all your time searching for the perfect position to soothe your stomach and ease the pain. That&#8217;s why knowing what side to lay on for nausea and digestive discomfort can mean the difference between waking up wincing and actually getting a restful night of sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep reading to learn how different <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/research\/survey-sleep-positions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sleeping positions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can affect your gut, including what side to lay on when your stomach hurts and what body positioning is best for quality sleep and restful relaxation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep &amp; Digestion\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep and digestion are closely linked. Not only is adequate, restful sleep crucial for the digestive process, but the digestion, absorption, and assimilation of our food requires a significant amount of energy. Fortunately, quality, restful sleep provides the necessary time and energy for the digestive organs to rest and repair.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That also means that a lack of sleep can increase your susceptibility to stress, which can drastically impact digestive symptoms. That\u2019s why maintaining a regular sleep schedule and ensuring adequate sleep is crucial for supporting the digestive process and helping to prevent digestive issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep Positions &amp; Your Gut<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you spend your nights tossing and turning as you try to settle into <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/better-sleep\/sleep-positions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what side to lay on<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when your stomach hurts?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe it\u2019s because of something you ate or due to a pestering cramp that won\u2019t go away. Either way, determining which side you\u2019ll be most comfortable laying on will depend on your unique needs. Fortunately, a strategically placed pillow or two and a quality and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterbedquiz.org\/quiz\/?_gl=1*1yx4okr*_ga*OTYzMzY1ODMzLjE2NzQwODg1Mjk.*_ga_Y7L9W76WKQ*MTY3NDU4Njc3Ny4xMC4wLjE2NzQ1ODY3NzguNTkuMC4w\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">supportive mattress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can make all the difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Left to Rest<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Ayurvedic medicine, the left and right sides of the body are very different and responsible for different functions. Since the stomach is on the left side of the body, according to Ayurvedic practices, it is recommended to sleep on your left side when your stomach hurts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there is no supporting clinical evidence, experts suggest that gravity aids digestion by helping the waste travel out of the small intestine and into the large intestine more effectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, sleeping on your left side is good for the heart! Lying on the left side makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, flowing naturally down into the aorta. It also helps the muscles between the stomach and esophagus contract, which <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/8071510\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">better controls the acid reflux process<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right on Target<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleeping on your left side is the same as sleeping on your right, right? Wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are certainly benefits to side sleeping in general, as it helps keep your airways open and your snoring in check while also helping to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jneurosci.org\/content\/35\/31\/11034\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remove toxins from the brain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But there are also downsides, especially for right-side sleepers. Sleeping on your right side may increase pressure on your internal organs, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/342\/bmj.d3403?ijkey=19d762c17e0bc6cac965317871060c3a3859a296&amp;keytype2=tf_ipsecsha\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">especially in pregnant women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can lead to intense acid reflux and heartburn symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dovepress.com\/sleep-positions-and-nocturnal-body-movements-based-on-free-living-acce-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-NSS\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A majority of adults<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are side sleepers, preferring to curl up in the fetal position as they snuggle into bed. Whether you prefer your ride or left side, or flip-flop throughout the night, it\u2019s important to use a structured pillow that supports your neck and shoulders while keeping your spine in a neutral position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to Basics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re suffering from stomach pain, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/sleeping-positions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Sleep Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recommends sleeping on your back, as it is the best position for almost any type of pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you sleep on your back, you&#8217;re better able to distribute your weight evenly. Even weight distribution can help alleviate the pressure on your shoulders and hips, reduce inflammation, and, ultimately, support relaxation. Just make sure to elevate your head and support your back; a comfortable pillow and ergonomic mattress should do the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Front &amp; Center<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most sleep experts do not recommend sleeping on your stomach if you\u2019re struggling with digestion issues or stomach pains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleeping on your stomach makes it difficult to keep your spine aligned and in a neutral position. This misalignment can result in back and neck pain. Additionally, if you tuck your arms or hands under a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bettersleep.org\/blog\/how-often-should-you-replace-your-pillow\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pillow<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you may suffer from numbness, tingling, and pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can shake sleeping on your stomach, try using a flat pillow or none at all! You can even tuck a pillow under your pelvis to help relieve pressure on your hips and back.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep professionals agree that sleeping on your back and left side is best for digestion and pain management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While knowing what side to lay on when your stomach hurts can help you avoid further discomfort, it is ultimately your body that will make the decision of what feels right. Whether you choose to sleep on your front or back, left or right side, it is important to use quality pillows and a firm mattress<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that will keep you comfortable and supported all night long.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bettersleep.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.bettersleep.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to discover more helpful hacks to improve your sleep and explore exciting sleep research from BSC sleep experts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Anyone with stomach irritation or digestive issues knows how drastically it can disrupt your life.
