Should I favour a certain sleep position for
relaxation?
Get ready for sleep by lying on
your right side. This makes your breathing pattern switch so
youre breathing mostly through your left nostril. Breathing
on your left side helps to quiet your mind and relaxes your
nervous system. Once you start to feel more relaxed, gently
move into your usual sleeping position for a wonderful sleep.
Awake in the morning feeling rested and refreshed.
