Are you teaching them proper sleep positions in the photo?
zipzap, yes we did talk about sleep positions- the sumo wrestlers are demonstrating a good position for sleeping- the lateral position. Sleeping in the lateral positions improves airflow and decreases snoring, compared to the supine position.
Good to know. I often sleep (or start out sleeping) laterally. I've also read in a Jewish text that this position is recommended (possibly Maimonides; I can't remember for sure).
zipzap, here are some links about Jewish teachings on sleep:
