If you experience any painful heartburn symptoms, sleeping on the left side of the bed may help. “The reason for this is because when you sleep on your right side, the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes, allowing stomach acid to leak out, which can result in irritation,” said SleepScore Labs Advisory Board Member Michael Breus, MD.
