Whenever my stomach hurts i’ll remember some recommendation that you’re supposed to sleep on your left or right side.

But I never remember which so I just rotate back and forth

Left is better for digestion or something iirc?

Left is better for acid relux.

Oh, I naturally have to sleep on my side, as front and back are both uncomfortable (for back my ass is a bit too big to not make my lower back feel odd). I sometimes have issues with digestion/acid reflux, so maybe I instinctively sleep left side? I noticed I kept going left instead of right.

My understanding is, your stomach is slightly to one side (a bit like your heart is; you’re only symmetrical on the outside) and so laying on one side, your stomach is above your centerline, if you lay on the other your stomach is below your centerline. Sleeping with your stomach on the “high side” means its easier for stomach acid to leak up into your esophagus, which burns!
