What is a good sleeping position after shoulder dislocation?

Anything Comfortable: You should just listen to your body and sleep in a comfortable position. Your doc and/or physical therapist may have some more specific suggestions depending on the specifics of your injury but comfort is a good guide. (most will find laying on their back with their arm resting on a pillow. Some, who cannot sleep on their back, find using a recliner and pillow to work well.).

Depends: Depends on the type of shoulder dislocation that occurred. It is best to see an orthopaedic surgeon and have them direct you to this.
