It's an "old": concept that lying down allowed more "circulation" to the brain thus was "healthier" This is not proven by any scientifically based medical stdies that i know of! IF THE SLEEP IS COMFORTABLE AND DEEP it is just as "good" for the brain as prone sleep! My Opnion Only Hope it helps Dr Z
