Cardiologist Renato Apolito stated in an interview with the publication "Woman’s World" that sleeping on the left kidney, as many people often think, does not have a negative effect on the heart.
Medianews.az reports that according to him, there is no scientific evidence about this.
The specialist emphasized that the main factor for health is the quality and duration of sleep. 7–9 hours of deep and comfortable sleep at night reduces stress and inflammation, protecting the cardiovascular system.
The greatest hidden danger is sleep apnea – the cessation of breathing during sleep. This condition increases blood pressure, can cause heart rhythm disturbances, including the risk of fibrillation.
More important than the position is the quality of sleep. A person can sleep in a position they find comfortable; the main issue is having normal breathing and uninterrupted sleep.
