Neurologist Maxim Pankov made this statement to RT .

Sleeping on your back can help you feel more comfortable if you have nasal congestion or neck pain.

At the same time, the doctor noted that sleeping on the right side increases pressure on the internal organs, which means that it is better for those who suffer from heartburn or gastroesophageal disease, as well as pregnant women, to avoid such rest.

This sleeping position is also not suitable for those who suffer from pain in the shoulder girdle.

During a conversation with the press, the neurologist added that for quality sleep you need to remember a few simple rules.

For example, you should not drink drinks rich in caffeine before bed, and your last meal should be 2-3 hours before bed.
