Does the position you sleep in affect the quality of your sleep and cause pain in certain parts of your body in the morning? Isn't it? It is well known that it can also affect However, sleeping in the wrong position can lead to bad dreams, according to a dream expert. For example, a study published in the journal Sleep and Hypnosis found that people who sleep on their left side are more likely to have nightmares. Left-side sleepers were 41 percent more likely to have nightmares, while right-side sleepers were only 15 percent more likely to have nightmares.

The dream expert said, "Sleeping on your left side is associated with nightmares because sleeping on the left side puts more pressure on the heart," he said.
For example, in a 2018 study, patients who slept on their left side showed changes in their heart activity, which researchers said could be an indicator of stress. This is because the heart is more likely to shift a small amount to the left and right in this position compared to others.
Meanwhile, participants who slept on their right side showed almost no change in heart function. However, unless you have pre-existing heart problems, this is unlikely to cause health problems. If you have heart disease or heart failure, a change in heart function can lead to discomfort.
Sleeping on your back can also cause unpleasant dreams, experts say, and 'people who experience nocturnal breathing problems are more likely to go from deep to light sleep and experience anxiety-related nightmares.' "In individuals with known or undiagnosed OSA, it was common for the level of apnea to be worse during supine (back) sleep compared to lateral (side) or prone (stomach) sleeping positions," the study states.
In people with OSA, airway obstruction occurs, causing decreased oxygen and increased carbon dioxide levels in the body. These fluctuations can trigger the body's awareness. This physiological reaction can cause depression or an apparent feeling of suffocation," the researchers say.
In a 2016 study in the journal Sleep and Hypnosis, Ms Cheung pointed out that high school students who slept on their stomachs had more 'empowering' dreams.
If you suffer from nightmares, changing your sleeping position can affect your dreams, the best approach is to sleep in a position that is conducive to healthy breathing and that can be on your right side, which is best for dreaming.
