    Generally speaking, side or back sleeping is the best. I say this because true stomach sleepers must wrench their necks to either side. When you are a small child, it works because you can turn your head 90 degrees to either side. As you get older, this becomes more difficult and you can end up with a strained neck.

    Back and side sleeping will keep your spine in its best alignment. Sometimes, snorers, sleep apnea sufferers, or people with heartburn/acid reflux may have some difficulty with these sleep positions. However, with a good neck pillow that opens up the sinuses and restores the neck curve, apnea and snoring are much improved. With a slight incline, reflux disease can be improved also.

    A neck pillow also keeps your head level when youre on your side. Put a pillow between your knees and you keep your legs and pelvis level too.

    Left lateral or right lateral position is the best sleeping position according to me, because it is comfortable and never causes any breathing difficulties.

    It is necessary to sleep in best position. Because bad sleep position invites some disease. Left side sleep position is good for us. So we should sleep in Left side.
