The correct way is to lie on your side, facing left. Because prevents gastric acid in esophagus.
edit for clarification: This method is efficient primarily when the lower esophageal sphincter (I had to Google the correct name) is not functioning as intended.
False. The correct way to sleep is on a 7-11 sausage roller set to high speed.
The heat lamp creates warmth which you normally substitute with a dangerous choking blanket
the high-speed spinning flings off your sweat to keep you cool using Bernoulli’s Principle instead of energy-hungry and dangerous fans or AC units
the constant flow of vomit and other effluvia helps you maintain a healthy figure instead of ridiculously augmenting your life with the high-risk activity of “exercise.”
The GitHub human branch maintainer peaced out forever ago, all attempts to establish communications aren’t going so well and the issue tracker is piling up…so probably never
I mean if it’s abandonware it’s ethical to reverse engineer and open source the reverse engineered platform, maybe even fork it and provide some sort of extensible framework for various plugins, or convert the kernel to a new architecture or even virtualize it. Hopefully we can also work out the bugs and the more glaring issues soon (looking at you, upright vertebrae).
Some people have mirrored internal organs, so this advice may be the ophosite for you. But also, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, sleep however’s comfiest for you and lets you get the best sleep you can
Sure, round figures, lets call it 800K. And I bet the vast majority of them knows. It doesn’t take much of an examination for a doctor to determine location of heart and liver.
In fact many of them don’t, since the body is mostly symmetrical and apart from cutting them open or doing an MRI, you can’t really tell (which isn’t a big deal in most cases, because most medical procedures work regardless of this condition). Also, the heart is located almost in the middle, so there is not much difference.
Conversely, sleeping on your side isn’t very good for a lot of your joints. For instance in your diagram, that position is very bad for her hips and compressing her lungs. I still sleep on my side because it’s my preferred position but I have to have a knee pillow to keep my hips and knees aligned, and I try to have a pillow hugged to my chest to keep my spine and shoulders from crunching lol.
I’m not falling for the Indian wisdom meme again until they fix their sanitation infrastructure and stop raping women to death on public transportation.
Wait, I’ve heard the opposite. Lay facing right to aid your stomach in digesting things and pushing it out of the stomach, instead of letting it lay in the stomach and potentially gurgle it’s way up
On your left side. Whether that’s “facing left” or “facing right” depends on whether you’re comparing it to being on your front or on your back. Personally, I instinctively compared it to front, which would mean being on your left is facing to the right.
So the way to be clear and unambiguous is to say which side of your body you’re referring to.
Yes, but to know what is your left, one first needs to establish what is their forward. If you were previously on your front (which is itself not an uncommon sleeping position), “turn to face left” will put them lying on their right side.
This stuff really isn’t rocket science. I’m genuinely surprised to be getting push back here. If the goal is to tell people to lay on their left side, that’s what should be said. Not “facing left”, which doesn’t convey the same meaning.
your left hand is always the left one. It’s relative to you, not to your direction
Right. That’s my point. That’s why I proposed using terminology that relates only to you, as opposed to the necessarily external language of the parent comment which used “facing”.

The throat anus, for those not used to the medical terminology.
Upper bunghole, if you’re nasty
You sleep on your left side to avoid gastric acid in the esophagus.
I sleep on my left side because sleeping on the right side angers up my sciatica.
We are not the same.
When will these bugs be fixed? I prefer to face to the right and would also like to be able to sleep on my stomach

We’re working on it, but the mf was on something, have you seen the digestive system class? Or the central nervous system class?
This woman is dead. Her stomach is coming out of her body and her arms are under her esophagus

O.01% of the population, roughly 1 person in 10,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situs_inversus
So about 800,000 people world wide?

I’ve always been a left side sleeper, so this makes me feel happy
Same. Yay us. For once my random behaviors are correct without even knowing it. :)
Occasionally, I bumble my way into a good life decision!
Vamakukshi – India’s post-lunch nap, always on your left side

Thank you for the info, I hope it helps
can confirm. As someone with acid reflux, sleeping facing right is hell
The cardiac sphincter prevents reflux of gastric fluids from the stomach to the esophagus.
I’m curious how accurate this is considering there’s rarely ever air in your stomach so what is the point when it’s effectively vacuum sealed.
As a side sleeper with GERD. It’s accurate as fuck. Before I found a medication that worked properly, I always slept on my left side.

It’s your left, not the left of the dude living in your attic peeping down at you.
