People sleep in many positions, but experts usually talk about three main ones: side, back, or stomach.

Sleep habits feel personal; however, the way people sleep can affect their bodies and health. In the past, some experts believed sleep position showed personality, but there is no strong proof for this idea. Still, research shows that sleep position can have an impact on pain, breathing, and comfort.

Each position has good and bad sides. Sleeping on the stomach is the least common and often not advised, because it can hurt the spine and neck. Sleeping on the back can help people with lower back pain, especially with a pillow under the knees. However, this position can cause snoring and breathing problems for some people.

Many experts suggest sleeping on the side. This position can help keep the spine in line and reduce problems like heartburn. The left or right side may matter for some health problems. There is no perfect choice for everyone, and moving during sleep is normal and helpful.

Difficult words: spine (bones of the back), snore (to make loud breathing sounds while sleeping), heartburn (a hot or burning feeling in the chest or throat).
