I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.

      I actually spent a long time forcing myself to sleep on my back because I was a chronic stomach sleeper and was having back pains. Now it’s the only position I can sleep in, lol.

        I know that sleeping on your left side is best for heartburn due to the way our stomachs are oriented.

        Not sure about other reasons. I like side sleeping with a pillow between my legs for my shitty back pain, but maybe that’s just me.

      Wait, what? My cat only spoons with me when I lay on my left side, so of course I prefer laying on my left side now. Does he know something I don’t??

      Isn’t it super normal to move and turn while sleeping? Is sleeping on the left side so much better that doing it for the first hour only has a noticeable impact? Or do you also need a weighted blanked to keep you in place for it to have that effect?

      Sounds like pseudoscience to me.

      My heartbeat is very uncomfortable when sleeping on my left. Apparently it’s a common problem. Sleeping on my right solves this for me.
