The correct way is to lie on your side, facing left. Because prevents gastric acid in esophagus.

edit for clarification: This method is efficient primarily when the lower esophageal sphincter (I had to Google the correct name) is not functioning as intended.

When will these bugs be fixed? I prefer to face to the right and would also like to be able to sleep on my stomach

The GitHub human branch maintainer peaced out forever ago, all attempts to establish communications aren't going so well and the issue tracker is piling up...so probably never

I mean if it's abandonware it's ethical to reverse engineer and open source the reverse engineered platform, maybe even fork it and provide some sort of extensible framework for various plugins, or convert the kernel to a new architecture or even virtualize it. Hopefully we can also work out the bugs and the more glaring issues soon (looking at you, upright vertebrae).

We're working on it, but the mf was on something, have you seen the digestive system class? Or the central nervous system class?

I've heard some people managed to reverse engineer the human, though right now people are trying to figure out whether using a modded version is considered OP

Some people have mirrored internal organs, so this advice may be the ophosite for you. But also, if it ain't broke don't fix it, sleep however's comfiest for you and lets you get the best sleep you can

False. The correct way to sleep is on a 7-11 sausage roller set to high speed.

  • The heat lamp creates warmth which you normally substitute with a dangerous choking blanket
  • the high-speed spinning flings off your sweat to keep you cool using Bernoulli's Principle instead of energy-hungry and dangerous fans or AC units
  • the constant flow of vomit and other effluvia helps you maintain a healthy figure instead of ridiculously augmenting your life with the high-risk activity of "exercise."

I'm curious how accurate this is considering there's rarely ever air in your stomach so what is the point when it's effectively vacuum sealed.

[–] mihnt@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago (5 children)

As a side sleeper with GERD. It's accurate as fuck. Before I found a medication that worked properly, I always slept on my left side.

You sleep on your left side to avoid gastric acid in the esophagus.

I sleep on my left side because sleeping on the right side angers up my sciatica.

We are not the same.

Sleeping on matter is detrimental to your health. To avoid back problems, learn how to sleep while levitating 3 feet off the floor.

[–] Ross_audio@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago (4 children)

I genuinely sleep in a hammock and have done now for years.

It's not levitation but it is great.

Sorry, but sleeping in levitation has been found to be detrimental to your health, you need to sleep in a 0g environment

You know what's fun? The post-surgery "you always sleep on this side? Learn to sleep on the other one because you're going to be this way for weeks, motherfucker" sleeping position.

Sleeping on my back is soooo relaxing... when I can fall asleep. For some reason I have the hardest time falling asleep on my back, but when it does happen it's bliss.

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I literally can’t fall asleep on my back lol. I can lay there for an hour and then the minute I roll over on my side or stomach I’ll fall asleep.

I sleep on my side. I can't sleep on my back or front :(

I just keep rolling untill I fall asleep. Trying to sleep in a specific position is near impossible. Even the best one gets uncomfortable pretty quick. Only thing I try to avoid is sleeping on my right side as it seems to be the cause for my rhomboid pain

I sleep as if demons are attacking me. Every night I wake up with atleast 2 corners of my fitted sheet hugging me

[–] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (5 children)

I've always wanted to be able to sleep on my side whilst hugging some kind of stuffed animal but to no avail. Ever since my SO gifted me a stuffed penguin toy that's large enough to fit in my arms and server as a pseudo-pillow, I've been loving sleeping on my side and have been really comfortable doing so too. I'm the middle spoon most of the time then. :D

Sleeping on my back is best though
