3. It’s ideal for pregnant women

The heart of a pregnant woman circulates blood in two bodies, and this is a difficult task that requires a larger volume of blood. During this time, the growing baby can enlarge the uterus and put pressure on certain organs, especially the spine.
Lying on the left side allows blood to flow easily and freely, relieving pressure on the baby’s mother’s spine and protecting the liver from too much pressure. Lying on the left side usually allows for good blood flow to both bodies.
4. Avoid snoring

If your spouse snores, or if you are the only one who snores and sleeping on your left side is not the most comfortable thing for your spouse, you can make all the difference in your mutual happiness. Keep your tongue and throat in a neutral position, and you can keep your airways clear.
5. Less heartburn

Heartburn can be one of the side effects of eating before bed, as lying down allows stomach acid to enter the esophagus.
Scientists have found that sleeping on your left side can actually minimize heartburn, while sleeping on your right side can actually make heartburn worse.
