Positional therapy for obstructive sleep apneahttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31041813Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2019 May 1;5:CD010990Srijithesh PR, Aghoram R, Goel A, Dhanya J.Sleep Apneapositional therapy was better than inactive control for improving ESS and AHI. Positional therapy may have better adherence than CPAP

Association of body position with severity of apneic events in patients with severe nonpositional obstructive sleep apneahttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11035672Chest. 2000 Oct;118(4):1018-24Oksenberg A, Khamaysi I, Silverberg DS, Tarasiuk A.Sleep Apneaeven in patients with severe OSA who have a high number of apneic events in the supine and lateral posture, the apneic events occurring in the supine position are more severe than those occurring while sleeping in the lateral position. Thus, it is not only the number of apneic events that worsen in the supine sleep position but, probably no less important, the nature of the apneic events themselves.

Effect of sleep position on sleep apnea severityhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6740055Sleep. 1984;7(2):110-4Cartwright RD.Sleep ApneaFor 24 subjects of this sample, who occupied both major body positions during the evaluation night, the apnea index was found to be twice as high during the time spent sleeping on their backs as it was when they slept in the side position

Effects of sleep posture on upper airway stability in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1164/ajrccm.155.1.9001312American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine Vol. 155, No. 1, Jan 01, 1997

Sleep ApneaIn severely affected OSA patients, upper body elevation, and to a lesser extent lateral positioning, significantly improve upper airway stability during sleep, and may allow therapeutic levels of nCPAP to be substantially reduced

The Effect of Body Posture on Brain Glymphatic Transporthttps://www.jneurosci.org/content/35/31/11034Journal of Neuroscience 5 August 2015, 35 (31) 11034-11044Hedok Lee, Lulu Xie, Mei Yu, Hongyi Kang, Tian Feng, Rashid Deane, Jean Logan, Maiken Nedergaard and Helene BenvenisteBrain HealthWaste, including Aβ, removal was most efficient in the lateral position (compared with the prone position), which mimics the natural resting/sleeping position of rodents. Although our finding awaits testing in humans, we speculate that the lateral position during sleep has advantage with regard to the removal of waste products including Aβ, because clinical studies have shown that sleep drives Aβ clearance from the brain.

Could body posture during sleep affect how your brain clears waste?https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/08/150804203440.htmStony Brook UniversityHedok Lee, Lulu Xie, Mei Yu, Hongyi Kang, Tian Feng, Rashid Deane, Jean Logan, Maiken Nedergaard, and Helene BenvenisteAlzheimer's
Parkinson's
Neuro		Sleeping in the lateral, or side position, as compared to sleeping on one's back or stomach, may more effectively remove brain waste and prove to be an important practice to help reduce the chances of developing Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurological diseasesthe same as "The Effect of Body Posture on Brain Glymphatic Transport" but summary is more on Alzheimers or neuro diseases

Effects of posture on sympathetic nervous modulation in patients with chronic heart failurehttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11117920?dopt=AbstractLancet. 2000 Nov 25;356(9244):1822-3Fujita M, Miyamoto S, Sekiguchi H, Eiho S, Sasayama SCHF
SNS stimulation		Sympathetic nervous modulation was most attenuated in the right lateral decubitus position. The right lateral decubitus position preferred by patients with CHF may be a self-protective mechanism to control increased sympathetic nervous modulation.Sleep on right side

An Individual Participant Data Meta-analysis of Maternal Going-to-Sleep Position, Interactions with Fetal Vulnerability, and the Risk of Late Stillbirthhttps://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(19)30054-9/fulltext#secst0005The Lancet Volume 10, P49-57, April 01, 2019Robin S. Cronin, Minglan Li, John M.D. Thompson, Adrienne Gordon, Camille H. Raynes-Greenow, Alexander E.P. Heazell, et al.Pregnancy/ StillbirthThis IPD meta-analysis confirms that supine going-to-sleep position is independently associated with late stillbirth. Going-to-sleep on left or right side appears equally safe.
