Side Sleepers: The Sleep Olympians
If you’re a side sleeper, congratulations—you’ve unlocked sleep level expert. Side sleeping is linked to all kinds of perks, from reducing snoring to keeping your spine in line. It’s basically the sleep equivalent of eating a balanced breakfast (which we all know most of us skip). Pro tip: adding a pillow between your knees can make this position even comfier. Just be sure your dog doesn’t claim it first.

Back Sleepers: Fancy but Flawed
Back sleepers, you’re out here thinking you’re royalty with your “I sleep on my back like I’m on a throne” energy. But this position can mess with your lower back and make you snore louder than a chainsaw in a library. If this is your vibe, make friends with a supportive pillow—and maybe your partner’s patience.

Stomach Sleepers: The Rebels Without a Cause
Stomach sleeping: the choice of those who like to live dangerously (and wake up with a stiff neck). Sure, it might feel cozy at first, but your spine is probably sending you passive-aggressive messages. If you can’t quit this position, try using a flatter pillow to keep your neck from plotting its revenge.

The Takeaway: Sleep Smarter
Whether you’re a side sleeper, back sleeper, or someone who sleeps like they fell out of a plane, there’s room for improvement. The right tweaks can make all the difference. After all, the only thing worse than a bad sleep is trying to explain to your coworkers why you look like you slept under your desk.
