There are three main way of sleeping: on your back, on your side, and on your stomach. Depending on variables such as health, diet, and sleeping patterns you could make existing pains much worse than what they have to be like neck, back, or other seemingly not related pains in your body.

But make sure you lie on your left side as your gastric juices in your stomach can sit well and not go through your esophagus if you were on your right side.

Constantly sleeping on your left (or either side for that matter) may place pressure on the stomach and lungs so periodically go left to right and vice versa. Also, if you sleep on your arm you have probably experienced the numbness of it. And lastly the shoulder is put under pressure so if you have any injuries or your shoulder is sore don't lie on that side.

So if you are a born stomach-sleeper then what you can do is to place a pillow under your hips so that your lower spine is lifted.
