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.
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
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?
I’ve heard some people managed to reverse engineer the human, though right now people are trying to figure out whether using a modded version is considered OP
They decompiled the human, it doesn’t mean they understand the code enough to mod it yet.
Instead of modding, I know a few hackers that have removed whole sections to delete non functioning parts and I know a few others who figured out how to swap parts between different units.
That’s why you need to open source and freely distribute the mod.
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
O.01% of the population, roughly 1 person in 10,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situs_inversus
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.
Listening to the chest with a stethoscope, or your ear will tell the location of the heart. Percussing over the liver, but not finding a solid structure e.g. liver, which sounds different than a hollow structure, e.g. lungs would also help in identifying unexpected organ locations. I’m curious how you came to know that many of them don’t know? Do you keep a register of people with this condition, but don’t tell them?
This woman is dead. Her stomach is coming out of her body and her arms are under her esophagus
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.”
The throat anus, for those not used to the medical terminology.
Upper bunghole, if you’re nasty
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.
Thankfully Omeprazole keeps me from choking on my own acid now, but yeah, that sucks.
My wife has GERD but she can only take omeprazole for a certain period of time and has to take time off from it, though I forget the reason for it
Your bones. It’s not good for osteoporosis IIRC.
It can tank your B12 and other nice things your body needs. At the end of the day, I
I just take it once a week and it keeps it in check. Before I started, I would wake up every night literally drowning in stomach acid and unable to breathe. When I first started taking it, I was taking it daily, but I always felt REALLY bloated, like I was going to explode. I cut off of it and found that the effect lasted for a week or more, and I started just taking it once a week, and I’ve been fine ever since.
I’ve got gas in my stomach somewhat frequently…
Have I got a solution for you!
Nah, if your stomach is acidic enough you can feel it. I finally caved and got a plush incline so that gravity keeps the bile down regardless of which side I sleep on, and I still usually favor sleeping on my left due to habits from before.
You sleep on your left side to avoid gastric acid in the esophagus.
I sleep on my left side because sleeping on the right side angers up my sciatica.
We are not the same.
Conversely, sleeping on your side isn’t very good for a lot of your joints. For instance in your diagram, that position is very bad for her hips and compressing her lungs. I still sleep on my side because it’s my preferred position but I have to have a knee pillow to keep my hips and knees aligned, and I try to have a pillow hugged to my chest to keep my spine and shoulders from crunching lol.
What’s wrong with gastric acid being in the esophagus? I sleep on my right-side a lot.
Most people don’t have issues with acid reflux. However, for those that do, it’s important to try to control acid reflux.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/barretts-esophagus/symptoms-causes/syc-20352841
Until you have woken up choking on acid that went in your lungs, you will not understand. I have EOE, and it really really sucks. I highly recommend not damaging your esophagus. I have spent years barely being able to eat without choking, though this latest round with the new doctor has been the best I have been in over a decade. Once your esophagus narrows to under 10mm, eating is a chore. Worst I ever got down to was 5mm. It was around ~7ish back in November…
I keep things under control pretty well, but I was always taught to sleep on my left side growing up if your stomach was upset or you were having trouble breathing if you were sick.
To go a tad further, if you have chronic reflux there is the obvious discomfort caused by the feeling of acid creeping into your esophagus. Overtime, the acid can also do damage to the cells of your esophagus causing a condition called Barrett’s Esophagus. This is not dangerous in and of itself but is considered a precancerous condition and requires monitoring.
It’s corroding you from within.
I’ve always been a left side sleeper, so this makes me feel happy
Same. Yay us. For once my random behaviors are correct without even knowing it. :)
Occasionally, I bumble my way into a good life decision!
Weird. I have to sleep on my right side or else my stomach gets upset.
Wait, I’ve heard the opposite. Lay facing right to aid your stomach in digesting things and pushing it out of the stomach, instead of letting it lay in the stomach and potentially gurgle it’s way up
Vamakukshi – India’s post-lunch nap, always on your left side
I’m not falling for the Indian wisdom meme again until they fix their sanitation infrastructure and stop raping women to death on public transportation.
The cardiac sphincter prevents reflux of gastric fluids from the stomach to the esophagus.
Thank you for the info, I hope it helps
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.
Yes, but to know what is your left, one first needs to establish what is their forward. If you were previously on your front (which is itself not an uncommon sleeping position), “turn to face left” will put them lying on their right side.
This stuff really isn’t rocket science. I’m genuinely surprised to be getting push back here. If the goal is to tell people to lay on their left side, that’s what should be said. Not “facing left”, which doesn’t convey the same meaning.
But your left hand is always the left one. It’s relative to you, not to your direction.
your left hand is always the left one. It’s relative to you, not to your direction
Right. That’s my point. That’s why I proposed using terminology that relates only to you, as opposed to the necessarily external language of the parent comment which used “facing”.
Bacta-tank is the best
Floating in the diaper tank
…blessly
I thought that was just to bring his internal temperature up to get Luke warm.
Nah, it’s sci-fi healing fluid.
You could do the other thing with a blanket. Or a Tauntaun.
Correct, bacta tanks are also used on Vader who was damn near incinerated. It being body temperature has something to do with it though because your body wouldn’t have to work as hard to keep your core temp stable.
I’m not sure there is any temperature that would both allow the body to remain heated exclusively through passive heat generation while also letting the body avoid overheating. Granted, higher thermal conductivity of liquids can make the task a little easier, but still I’m not sure there exists such a perfect temp.
Humans get squeezed out of body-temperature goo-bags basically first thing, that would probably work fine
Fair enough!
That’s what a passionate kiss from his sister was for.
Fantastic
Sleeping on matter is detrimental to your health. To avoid back problems, learn how to sleep while levitating 3 feet off the floor.
I genuinely sleep in a hammock and have done now for years.
It’s not levitation but it is great.
Sorry, but sleeping in levitation has been found to be detrimental to your health, you need to sleep in a 0g environment
i hate to be the bearer of bad news but air is still matter
Sleep on antimatter
But only very briefly.
Best sleep of your life.
Levitate and create a vacuum around your body. Don’t let that pesky air give you a kink in your neck.
Levitate upside down to decompress your spine
I do this, but I’ve found that rotating along the sagittal axis—six to ten times per hour—gives it that little extra zhuzh, chef’s kiss
Think rotisserie, but without the impalement or the intense heat
Don’t sleep, it’s bad for you . Just keep working.

Go ahead and cc everybody on this one, it’s needed.
Living is a disease at this point.
Terminal, in fact.
We’re all gonna die!
Shut up, Rattrap.
You’re the big ape.
I’m not. Proof: I haven’t yet.
Can’t argue with that logic.
Bold of you to assume I can control how my body moves while I’m asleep.
You need to be slowly turned on a rotisserie.
I have slave peasants to do that for me while I slumber.
I sleep suspended in a vat of gel medium.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Where can I purchase this?
Zaltin corporation on Thyferra can get you a good supply of bacta and a tank… Don’t expect it to be cheap though.
Bacta tank…
A bacta a day keeps the doctor away!

Zero-G or go home.
i go to bed laying on my side, turn to slep on my stomach, then on my back, and once i’m actually asleep i look like this:
Approved:
A guy died in a cave from being stuck in this position.
Sounds a bit nutty
That’s one way of putty it.
The ball flattener 3000!
she cute
You know what’s fun? The post-surgery “you always sleep on this side? Learn to sleep on the other one because you’re going to be this way for weeks, motherfucker” sleeping position.
I had jaw surgery a few years back, and I had to adjust to sleeping sitting up (believe me, the surgery made me tired enough to be able to do that) for several weeks because I couldn’t risk messing up my jaw while it healed.

Did you sleep in a chair, or sitting in bed?
Sitting in a bed with lots of pillows and blankets to prop me up. I was basically in a sitting position.
Sleeping on my back is soooo relaxing… when I can fall asleep. For some reason I have the hardest time falling asleep on my back, but when it does happen it’s bliss.
I literally can’t fall asleep on my back lol. I can lay there for an hour and then the minute I roll over on my side or stomach I’ll fall asleep.
Exactly!! My body literally rejects sleep if I’m on my back. And sleeping on a plane semi reclined? Forget it
If I sleep on my back I get the most vivid and long nightmares, and, if I fall asleep in another position and then wake up from a nightmare, I’m almost always on my back. Not sure what it is, fiancée says I don’t snore or sound like I have trouble breathing.
Exact same thing happens to me. It’s not necessarily nightmares, but really intense dreams. So intense that I wake up feeling tired.
Yo same. I have so many pillows that I have to arrange specifically to cradle my neck in a certain way or I’ll wake up with a headache and stiff neck. My neck is most comfy when I’m on my back, but the rest of my body disagrees.
Step 1: Tape ypir neck to the bed while on your back.
Step 2: Turn the rest of your body on the side.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit
I have managed to sleep on my back once in my life. It was also the only night that I slept with my eyes open because I was so exhausted
i don’t sleep on my back because it causes frequent sleep paralysis. i find it more comfortable than my side usually but i don’t want to be attacked by the jack o lantern horse guy while i’m in my bed
I sleep on my side. I can’t sleep on my back or front :(
I can help you with that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I have no idea what I meant, but it was dirty as hell.
Nobody knows what it means, but it’s PROVOCATIVE.
I sleep on my side, and wake up on my face, with a dead arm.
I just keep rolling untill I fall asleep. Trying to sleep in a specific position is near impossible. Even the best one gets uncomfortable pretty quick. Only thing I try to avoid is sleeping on my right side as it seems to be the cause for my rhomboid pain
What’s the furthest you’ve made it?
Don’t you worry about traffic?
They see me rollin’. They hatin’. Trynna catch me sleeping dirty.
Just don’t sleep and you won’t have that problem.
My hourly Monsters are purely for the benefit of my health.
I don’t really get what you mean.
