Sleeping style and health Why do doctors always recommend sleeping on the left side? Know its magic
News India Live, Digital Desk: We humans are also very strange, aren’t we? No matter where we roam throughout the day, we find peace at night only at our ‘old place’. In most couples or among siblings, there is often this fight, “This is my side, you sleep there.” But have you ever wondered why we choose a particular direction of the bed (Left or Right)? Is it just a habit or is there some mathematics of our mind and body working behind it? According to a report from the lifestyle segment of Zee News and psychologists, this matter is quite interesting. Are the people on the left ‘cheerful’, the people on the right ‘strict’? A very interesting survey has revealed that people who like to sleep on the left side of the bed are generally more cheerful and calm in nature. They know how to solve life’s problems with a cool head. On the other hand, people who choose to sleep on the right side are considered a little stubborn or ‘practical’. They rely more on logic rather than emotion. However, this is not set in stone, but such results are often seen in personality tests. ‘Left’ connection of healthNow let’s talk about health, which is most important. If you like to sleep on the ‘left side’, your health will thank you. Both Ayurveda and modern medical science believe that Left Side Sleeping is best for the stomach and heart. Digestion: The structure of our stomach is such that sleeping on the left side does not cause acidity and food is easily digested. Heart: Sleeping on this side reduces pressure on the heart and blood circulation remains better. So if you have the problem of acidity, then change your side to ‘left’ from today itself. The game of fear and security is an aspect of psychology. It also says that we choose the side where we feel ‘safe’. It is often seen that in couples, men like to sleep on the side which is closer to the door. This is a very old ‘protective instinct’. The subconscious mind feels that if any danger comes, I will get up first and face it. At the same time, people who sleep with their corner facing the wall, want to feel safe and “in their own world”. Conclusion: Sleep is a must, no matter the side! However, all these things are based on research and surveys. The reality is that we are “Creatures of Habit”. The side or the corner in which we find solace since childhood or for a long time, is ‘heaven’ for us. But yes, next time when you fight with your partner about the side, then definitely check whether that side really suits your health or personality or not?
