How are we supposed to sleep?
Photo: Nicholas Eveleigh/Getty Images Although we are all quite familiar with sleep we may sometimes wonder whether we are doing it correctly. This is mostly because, oh, we are still so tired. But what are the best sleeping positions? I’m embarrassed to admit I wasn’t sure if there was an optimal position for sleeping, so I reached out to Dr. Mayank Shukla, a pulmonologist and sleep-disorder specialist in New York City, to find out.
But It’s More About Quantity and Quality “But as I say that,” Shukla said, “I know people don’t prefer sleeping on their back. Most people prefer sleeping on their left or right sides, and many of them sleep in the fetal position.” He said you shouldn’t worry about this too much, though, because the most important thing is not sleep position but, instead, the quality and quantity of sleep acquired. I hate to tell you this, but you should be sleeping for 7 to 8 hours a night.
