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'm a bit concerned about my health and was hoping you could help me out. I just got some test results back and it says my globulin level is at 3.8. Is that considered high? I'm a bit worried about what that means for my health. Also, my cholesterol levels are up there too. What kind of treatment should I be considering for both these issues? I'm really looking to get a handle on this and any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
