In winter, the body of many people becomes more vulnerable to various infections. Even a mild cold can prevent you from sleeping properly. However, there is a way to alleviate its symptoms.

Sleeping on your back at night can make your cold symptoms worse, says Levitex sleep expert James Leinhardt. At the same time, there is scientific evidence that lying on your side during sleep helps to improve the flow of air through the respiratory tract and relieve colds.

Also, try to sleep at an angle. To do this, you can put several pillows, books, magazines under the mattress. The main thing is that the body is not strictly horizontal.

As for sleeping on the side, it will be especially useful for those with stuffy noses and those who suffer from snoring.
