"Sleep Position Linked to Increased Nightmares, Expert Reveals"
Dream expert Theresa Cheung suggests that sleeping on your left side may lead to more nightmares due to stress on the heart, while back sleepers also experience more nightmares, potentially due to breathing issues like sleep apnea. Right-side sleeping might result in more positive dreams, and front sleepers are reported to have more empowering dreams. Cheung emphasizes the importance of sleep hygiene and comfort in reducing nightmares, advising those affected to experiment with different sleeping positions, particularly if they suffer from heartburn or other conditions.
