Every individual is different, there is no "one-size-fits-all" position to sleep. One needs to follow what works for their body and sleep needs. Sleeping on left side curling your legs and placing a pillow in between your knees is good for low back, during pregnancy, reduces snoring and acid reflux. Lying on stomach is good for snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping flat on your back protects the spine, relieves hip and knee pain.

I've been dealing with this constant headache and loose motion for the past 24 hours. The headache's not as bad as it was initially, but it's still there. Should I be concerned or is this just a temporary thing?

-It sounds like you're dealing with a tough combination of symptoms. I'm glad the headache is easing, but persistent loose motions can be draining. It might help to stay hydrated and rest, and if it continues, a doctors advice could be beneficial.
