Md #: what side of the body is it best to sleep on to maintain the natural curve of the cervical neck area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't matter : It doesn't matter. If your spine is otherwise normal, you can sleep on either side. If you have spine issues, you should see a medical doctor (md or do highly preferred over a chiropractor) about that and to determine if specific positions are needed.
