Eduard Estivill, sleep expert: You should avoid sleeping on your back because it blocks the passage of air and you snore more

The article features Dr. Eduard Estivill, a sleep medicine specialist, discussing the impact of sleeping positions on respiratory health and snoring. He advises against sleeping on one's back, explaining that this position can block airflow and increase snoring due to muscle relaxation and potential anatomical factors like obesity or a retracted chin. While he acknowledges there is no single optimal sleeping posture, he emphasizes the importance of avoiding supine positioning for better sleep quality. The piece highlights the physiological reasons behind these recommendations but does not present alternative viewpoints or counterarguments.
