On average we sleep about eight hours every night, which means that we actually spend a third of our lives in bed. Sleep is incredibly important for our health and if we don't get enough of it, our bodies get out of balance. But according to a recent study, the amount of sleep we get isn't the only factor affecting our health. The study found that our sleeping position can also have a dramatic effect on our health.

Researchers determined that it is healthier to sleep on your left side. The reasons are quite simple but still plausible. i've summarised five of them


1. Improved Lymph Drainage
The lymphatic system can remove waste material more easily because it it transported along the left side of the body.


2. Better for your heart
It's easier for the heart to pump blood through the body because the main artery bends to the left.


3. Helps with digestion
Stomach acids can't flow into the oesophagus because it comes out of the right side of the stomach. This helps digestion and prevents acid reflux


4. Anatomical peculiarities
The stomach and the pancreas are located on the left side of the body. When we lie on our right side, the stomach pushes agains the pancreas and obstructs its functioning.


5. Relief for the spleen
Waste materials are transported to the spleen on the left side and can be expelled from the body faster.
