This will be an effortless and quick guide on how to really sleep properly. This won't include any research or studies and it's just based on the information that I already have in my mind, follow the information here at your own discretion.
Maybe someday I'll do something more thorough to post on my medium.
(Won't post this on the looksmax because it's just a simple shit, whatever, if a mod wants to move it, do it)
We get used to a certain sleep position pattern, so whatever side you sleep on you'll get used to that, eventually, you'll be sleeping always on that same position. Even if you try to force yourself to sleep alternately on both sides on different days, your body will tend to change to the side that it is more used to. This constant pattern will lead to several asymmetries on your body and face (especially if you're still developing).
Sleeping on your side is also associated with infant dolichocephaly head shape tendencies.
Another major problem with sleeping on your side is that your face will be in constant contact with the pillow, two major problems will come from this:
SLEEPING ON YOUR STOMACH
You're as stupid as someone can be.
SLEEPING ON YOUR BACK CORRECTLY
As many of you already know, sleeping on your back is the correct way to sleep. Sleeping on your back will avoid the problems mentioned above that sleeping on your side cause:
If you do, congrats! Not only you've been breathing wrong your entire life but you also have been sleeping wrong! over for you.
This position has a couple of major problems:
2- Relax your arms completely
3- Bring your shoulders as far back as possible forcing an erect position
4- Now watch the position of your hands while you slowly hunch your back and slouch your shoulders.
You'll notice that while you're on a perfectly erect position the palm of your hands is similar to that of when you do hammer curls exercise, they are facing each other, on the other hand when you slouch your shoulders the palm of hands are parallel facing your body like on an inverted curl exercise. You can also do the same test while maintaining a thumbs up with both hands while you watch the thumbs going from both facing forward parallel to each other, to a position where they point to each other when your shoulders are slouched.
Thus, this position will not only cause a forward head position but also predisposes to slouched shoulders as well.

SLEEPING ON YOUR SIDES
Sleeping on your side is one of the stupidest shit you could do to yourself.
We get used to a certain sleep position pattern, so whatever side you sleep on you'll get used to that, eventually, you'll be sleeping always on that same position. Even if you try to force yourself to sleep alternately on both sides on different days, your body will tend to change to the side that it is more used to. This constant pattern will lead to several asymmetries on your body and face (especially if you're still developing).
Sleeping on your side is also associated with infant dolichocephaly head shape tendencies.
Another major problem with sleeping on your side is that your face will be in constant contact with the pillow, two major problems will come from this:
- A bad quality pillow will be harsh on your face skin (especially if you move around a lot while sleeping which can cause friction and cause your skin to be dragged around forcing the skin to be stretched unnecessarily)
- It's relatively common for people who suffer from bacterial acne to be more prone to have more acne on the side of the face that they sleep on (take in consideration that not only bacteria will accumulate on the pillow but also the skincare products that you use)
SLEEPING ON YOUR STOMACH
SLEEPING ON YOUR BACK CORRECTLY
- Asymmetrical face (especially mandibular asymmetry)
- Asymmetries on the body (bones and muscles)
- Skin sagging
- Bacterial and dirt accumulation
If you do, congrats! Not only you've been breathing wrong your entire life but you also have been sleeping wrong! over for you.
This position has a couple of major problems:
- Using a pillow to rest your head will force your head forward and downwards causing an airflow restriction, you'll probably mouth breath during the night. Ideally, you shouldn't use pillows at all! This way you'll maintain your spine erect and a proper airflow passage on your neck area.
- Another problem with this position is regarding the position that you rest your hands. This position will cause a rotation of your shoulders making them slouched. Do the following test:
2- Relax your arms completely
3- Bring your shoulders as far back as possible forcing an erect position
4- Now watch the position of your hands while you slowly hunch your back and slouch your shoulders.
You'll notice that while you're on a perfectly erect position the palm of your hands is similar to that of when you do hammer curls exercise, they are facing each other, on the other hand when you slouch your shoulders the palm of hands are parallel facing your body like on an inverted curl exercise. You can also do the same test while maintaining a thumbs up with both hands while you watch the thumbs going from both facing forward parallel to each other, to a position where they point to each other when your shoulders are slouched.
Thus, this position will not only cause a forward head position but also predisposes to slouched shoulders as well.

- Another problem with this position is on your spine, because of its natural format it can cause problems on your lower back if you don't use something to rest this part of the spine (usually you have to use a pillow below your legs to keep the spine straight)
HOW SHOULD YOU SLEEP THEN?
Ideally:
- No pillows, so this way you can maintain a proper head position without blocking your airway passage. (Without a pillow it will be really difficult for your body to force your head downwards with your chin moving towards the neck)
- To avoid the slouched shoulder and hunched back you should sleep with your arms up. (Make the test, lie on the bed now with one of your hands resting on your stomach and the other arm up and note your shoulders, you'll notice that the shoulder with the arm up is more in contact with the bed then the other one) (PS.: I haven't researched if this position can cause any problem on the rotator cuff though)
- Regarding the legs, you can either use the pillow like the image above or sleep in this position:
This will also help stretch the muscles around your penis, maybe that helps with something
A lot of babies sleep on the position that I'm suggesting btw:
