A member asked:
Is sleeping on your side bad for posture or for your shoulders?shoulders have been hurting because of a messenger bag, would sleeping on my back help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should not: Sleeping on your side should not affect your posture. However sleeping on your back may help by taking the pressure off your shoulder. If it does not help i suggest you see your physician to see what it might be and what investigations and treatment may be necessary.
