Best to point out that, while often on serious subjects, the Pass Notes column is expected to gather various humorous, sarcastic or other responses to entertain - with their useful informational value often low.

Hi

I'm a regular Guardian reader and yes its a tongue in cheek, lighthearted column but I didn't know if someone might find it informative.

Fascinating! I like the logic, I wonder how long we have to lie there for this to benefit 🤣 I’m all up for a lazy lie in. 🌱🦋🌱

Interesting! I take my meds when I wake and lie there reading etc fir a while before getting up and having breakfast - so now I’ll remember to lie on my right side!

I take my morning dose of thyroid medication lying down on my right side and immediately after taking it I fall back to sleep for 2 hours.
