Mornings with Dave & Jen

The Right Side of the Bed

What side of the bed do you get up on?

If it’s the right side, you may be doing it wrong!

According to a new survey in the Daily Mail and New York Times, people who wake up on the right side are more likely to feel miserable, tired and grumpy in the morning than “lefties.”

Those who get out on the left side daily feel like they’re awake an average of six minutes earlier and their mood picks up an average of 15 minutes earlier.

They’re also 7% less likely to have someone at work comment on how tired they look.

They haven’t figured out why… but those who sleep on the right side of their bodies are more likely to have heartburn and acid reflux, because it opens up the path between your stomach and esophagus which can throw off your stomach acid levels which might contribute to overall grumpiness.

Might be time to switch it up! 😴
