Does sleeping on your side cause rounded shoulders?
I am a 22 year old female. I want to know if sleeping on your side causes rounded shoulders?

No
There is no evidence I've ever seen to support that claim.

Sleeping on your side could make rounded shoulders worse, however, it probably isn't the cause of rounded shoulders. Poor posture throughout the day and muscular imbalance is usually the cause of rounded shoulders.
