What is the proper position when sleeping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
On your back: Sleeping on your back, single pillow with your arms at your side is the best sleeping position for preventing spine and neck problems. Back sleeping is a no-no for snorers and those with sleep apnea; side is the right one.
