While we are aware that there are over eight sleeping positions, research has shown that your desire to seek comfort might be harmful to your health. Sleep coach Elina Winnel says of the foetal sleeping position which is recommended for pregnant women, “What we may not realise is that we are putting our body into a fight or flight posture.
