Your heart sits above your liver when you sleep on your right side, which reduces compression and improves breathing. Right-side sleeping also aligns your stomach and intestines to help with digestion.

Which side of your body are you actually supposed to sleep on? The left or the right? I'm going to tell you what science says. Your heart sits on the left side of your body. Your liver sits on the right. When you sleep on your left, it causes this 3-pound organ, your liver, which is the heaviest organ in your body, to compress the heart. You'll find that the quality of your breath and quality of your sleep will actually be better if you sleep on your right with the heart on top of the liver, as opposed to the other way around. Also, sleeping on the right is good for your digestion. It allows your stomach and intestinal tract to line up. Naturally as they sit in the body. This helps food move through your system smoothly and make it easier for the waste to be eliminated when you get up in the morning. I've actually put together a full sleep guide to help you fall asleep faster and stay in deep sleep all night. Just comment the word sleep below and I'll DM it to you for free.
