I’ve noticed this when I’m sleeping; sometimes, lying on my right side feels uncomfortable, so I’ll lie on my left, or vice versa.

Being completely still puts pressure on the skin and tissue below which restricts the blood flow which triggers pain in that area. The discomfort you’re feeling is like a very very minor bedsore. If you were to stay completely still for multiple days the tissue would die and you’d end up with a hole in your skin that would continue to grow deeper. These are known as bedsores or pressure ulcers
