If you are overweight and older you risk getting bursitis in your hips if you sleep on your side. At 61 this is now a problem for me that has me losing weight (a low carb ketogenic diet) and sleeping in a recliner for half the night. I do get a restful sleep but I've always had the ability to go back to sleep quickly. So moving from the chair to the bed and back does not seem to bother me.
