    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.

      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

          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.

      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.”

      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.

      facing left

      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.

      Sorry, but sleeping in levitation has been found to be detrimental to your health, you need to sleep in a 0g environment

        Legitimately the best sleep I ever got was when I had a hammock. It takes a bit of adjustment, but once you’re used to it, it’s so easy to wake up. I haven’t felt fully rested since I replaced my hammock with a bed

          How does one legitimately sleep in a hammock? Ain’t it about as bad as lying on back and both sides at the same time, but also with fear of falling out or hammock itself falling down?

            A properly built hammock is sturdy enough that it isn’t gonna fall down, and because the middle of it dips down with your weight, the sides come up sort of like a bowl and hold you in. Sleeping on your back isn’t actually that bad, and once you get used to it, you figure out how to spin slightly to one side or the other for comfort.

            For reference, I was sleeping in a travel hammock meant for camping every night for about a year, I weighed over 200 lbs at the time, and even after the canvas started to tear at the seam, it never actually failed. The only reason I got rid of it is because the tear started to grow over the course of about a week.

            Edit: also, for safety, I had a couple old comforters under it to cushion a potential fall, and an old pillow underneath my head for more protection. Never ended up actually needing them, but it’s an option

    If I sleep on my stomach I can’t move my neck the next day, right side my right hand goes painfully numb, left side my left hand goes painfully numb, back both hands go numb. There is literally no position I can sleep in that I don’t wake up after a couple of hours and have to shift to a different position.

    You know what’s fun? The post-surgery “you always sleep on this side? Learn to sleep on the other one because you’re going to be this way for weeks, motherfucker” sleeping position.

      I had jaw surgery a few years back, and I had to adjust to sleeping sitting up (believe me, the surgery made me tired enough to be able to do that) for several weeks because I couldn’t risk messing up my jaw while it healed.
