How Your Sleep Position Can Increase Your Risk of Alzheimer’s

We all know that when it comes to achieving optimal health, quality sleep is one of the most underrated success factors.

Despite decades of research and many discoveries about other aspects of sleep, the question of why we sleep has proven difficult to answer.

Cynthia gives an overview of some of the most popular theories and breaks down the current studies that have shown how the position that we sleep in can either help or hurt us, especially when it comes to our neurological wellbeing.
