Answer 7

It's not so much the position, but what you're sleeping on that affects your body.

I sleep on my side every night and im great.

Answer 9

I always thought sleeping your side was the best way. If you sleep in the fetal or semi-fetal position, it's supposed to be the most natural.

Answer 10

No it does not make the back rigid---the fetal position is highly recommended--use a single pillow to sleep---also use a hard mattress which is good for the back---Not a single  British POW in Japanese camps during WW2 complained of a bad back because they slept on a hard surface!!
