Want Nightmares? Try Sleeping on Your Left Side

[ThePaladin]

According to a 2004 study by Dr Mehmet Yucel Agargun and fellow researchers from Turkey’s Yuzuncu Yil University in Turkey, 40.9 per cent of the people who sleep on their left side have terrifying dreams, compared to the 14.6 per cent of those who sleep on their right side who experience them. An overwhelming percentage of remembered dreams by right side sleepers exhibited safety and well being.

The study mirrored Yu’s opinion.

Three thoughts:

1) 40.9% means 59.1%-the majority-of people do not have nightmares sleeping on their left side.

2) Were the studies designed to limit other contributing factors, like foods eaten or even horror movies watched?

3) Given the last sentence in the quoted portion, I suspect some confirmation bias at play here.
