The correct way is to lie on your side, facing left. Because prevents gastric acid in esophagus.

edit for clarification: This method is efficient primarily when the lower esophageal sphincter (I had to Google the correct name) is not functioning as intended.

The throat anus, for those not used to the medical terminology.

Vamakukshi – India’s post-lunch nap, always on your left side

facing left

On your left side. Whether that's "facing left" or "facing right" depends on whether you're comparing it to being on your front or on your back. Personally, I instinctively compared it to front, which would mean being on your left is facing to the right.

So the way to be clear and unambiguous is to say which side of your body you're referring to.

It's your left, not the left of the dude living in your attic peeping down at you.

False. The correct way to sleep is on a 7-11 sausage roller set to high speed.

  • The heat lamp creates warmth which you normally substitute with a dangerous choking blanket
  • the high-speed spinning flings off your sweat to keep you cool using Bernoulli's Principle instead of energy-hungry and dangerous fans or AC units
  • the constant flow of vomit and other effluvia helps you maintain a healthy figure instead of ridiculously augmenting your life with the high-risk activity of "exercise."

I'm curious how accurate this is considering there's rarely ever air in your stomach so what is the point when it's effectively vacuum sealed.

As a side sleeper with GERD. It's accurate as fuck. Before I found a medication that worked properly, I always slept on my left side.

When will these bugs be fixed? I prefer to face to the right and would also like to be able to sleep on my stomach

This woman is dead. Her stomach is coming out of her body and her arms are under her esophagus

Some people have mirrored internal organs, so this advice may be the ophosite for you. But also, if it ain't broke don't fix it, sleep however's comfiest for you and lets you get the best sleep you can

So about 800,000 people world wide?

Sure, round figures, lets call it 800K. And I bet the vast majority of them knows. It doesn't take much of an examination for a doctor to determine location of heart and liver.

In fact many of them don't, since the body is mostly symmetrical and apart from cutting them open or doing an MRI, you can't really tell (which isn't a big deal in most cases, because most medical procedures work regardless of this condition). Also, the heart is located almost in the middle, so there is not much difference.

The GitHub human branch maintainer peaced out forever ago, all attempts to establish communications aren't going so well and the issue tracker is piling up...so probably never

I mean if it's abandonware it's ethical to reverse engineer and open source the reverse engineered platform, maybe even fork it and provide some sort of extensible framework for various plugins, or convert the kernel to a new architecture or even virtualize it. Hopefully we can also work out the bugs and the more glaring issues soon (looking at you, upright vertebrae).

We're working on it, but the mf was on something, have you seen the digestive system class? Or the central nervous system class?
