A member asked:
What position should i sleep in at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comfortable: People with neck and back pain or shoulder pain often need to sleep on their backs. People who snore often sleep on their sides. Pregnant women in the second or third trimester should sleep on their left side to keep the uterus from compressing the inferior vena cava.
