@jenbicimsn-com Its all about what works best for you. The smaller bodied guitars will be less stressful on your neck, shoulders and back. I have guitars ranging from smaller (Gs mini to a 12 string dreadnaught. As the bodies get larger and the necks longer, I find I can only play for short periods because of Pain or discomfort. Even with the smaller bodied guitars, I have to make sure I’m in the right height chair, keep good posture, raise the neck of the guitar a little (some use the classical position as mentioned by @GerryB56 ). Standing corrects the posture issue – harder to slouch or bend over the guitar when standing. If you’re already using a smaller bodied guitar with a shorter neck length, then examine your posture, play in a relaxed state, shorten your practice periods, opting for more practice periods throughout the day instead of one long one. Good luck with it.
