    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

        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

      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.

      facing left

      On your left side. Whether that’s “facing left” or “facing right” depends on whether you’re comparing it to being on your front or on your back. Personally, I instinctively compared it to front, which would mean being on your left is facing to the right.

      So the way to be clear and unambiguous is to say which side of your body you’re referring to.

      What’s wrong with gastric acid being in the esophagus? I sleep on my right-side a lot.

          Correct, bacta tanks are also used on Vader who was damn near incinerated. It being body temperature has something to do with it though because your body wouldn’t have to work as hard to keep your core temp stable.
