The stomach acid that causes heartburn takes longer to clear in people who sleep on their right sides than those who sleep in other position. Researchers say the lower part of the esophagus turns a bit as it connects to the stomach. When you sleep on your right side, they speculate, this curve straightens and allow stomach acid to easily enter the esophagus—causing that burning pain that keeps you awake. - Dominique Andrews
