I’m talking about sleeping!  If you do, then guess what that is the best sleeping position according to Health magazines May 2011 issue.  That position kills my back and can make you snore.  Maybe if we had a newer bed I could reap the benefits of it reducing acid reflux, minimizing wrinkles, and maintaining a perkier appearance.  Sleeping on your side is the next best, but bad for your skin and breasts.  It is however great for overall health.  The third, yet not ideal position, is the fetal position.  Uh-oh that is my favorite.  Good when you are pregnant or in the womb, but not good for an arthritic back or joints.  If you are pregnant try and sleep on your left side for ideal blood flow.  However, this position can bring on premature wrinkles and sagging breast, just great!  Consider straightening out a bit if this is your most go to position and use one big plump pillow to give your head and neck support.  Lastly the worst position for your spine is the stomach sleeper.  If you snore, this position is for you as long as you don’t suffer from neck or back pain.  And the perfect pillow for this position is a thin one or none at all.
