Side, Back, Front Sleeper?

[TheeGoatPig]

I was just wondering what positions some of you sleep in. It popped in my head as I was tossing and turning last night, but I was too tired to get up and ask

Choose as many options as needed.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

I have chronic pain issues, so I pretty much sleep in whatever position I can get into that's comfortable.

 

[Chantilyvamp]

I usually start on my side and go to back and then end up on my tummy n pain. Every since having the kidlet I cant sleep on my tummy without pain and it's my favorite spot.

 

[Emperor_Nero]

I'm a side sleeper, but it aggrivates my shoulders -- so I go back and forth between left and right all night.

So does that mean I toss and turn or do I pick the side I sleep on the most?

 

[TheeGoatPig]

I set up the poll to pick all three if you wish.

 

[xssve]

Side, or occasionally, 3/4 front, top knee bent - I cannot sleep on my back unless totally exhausted, ditto sitting up, and face down puts too much pressure on my lumbar spine.

I hug a pillow for those shoulder issues, otherwise my hand will occasionally fall asleep from blocked circulation.

 

[miss_trust]

back - 90%
right - 7% (if my SO decides he wants to spooooooooon)
left - 1% (if my SO wants to be spooooooooooooned)
I Don't Sleep - 1%

I alternate between the left and ride sides, tossing and turning all night. Sometimes I sleep in a hybrid right side, left leg bent almost on my stomach move.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

I can't possibly sleep on my stomach. At least, not for a few more months.

Frankly, I can't wait.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Personally, I'm a stomach sleeper that tosses and turns and sometimes passes out on his left or right side.

I can never sleep sitting in a chair though. I can't stand that.

Ditto.

I also I have chronic pain issues. So I don;t sleep alot at any given time and wake up and have to change poistions.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Right, left really doesn't matter...which ever nostril is clear of mucous, that's the side I start out on. But the side changes during the night and I haven't discerned a pattern.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

There's no option for "underneath her" ?

 

[TheeGoatPig]

No... The position is more important than the quality of covering

 

[Techomancer]

Back, side, front, sitting -all of it. My personal best was standing up and asleep. My mother still tells the story.

That's me!! Exactly, right down to the pillow.

I do wake up several times in the night........on a bad night, I see every hour on the clock until either the alarm goes off at 6.30 or I get fed up and get up. Last night was a good night, I only woke twice before getting up at 7.30.

I'm also a very fussy sleeper when it comes to the bed. I can't stand wrinkles in the sheet, it has to be completely taught and wrinkle free before I get in. The pillow cases have to be cotton, because I get very warm at night, and constantly turn the pillow over searching for the cool bit. Apparently, I can also manage to sleep in the smallest of spaces - I know this from looking at how much space the wife takes up when I return from the bathroom!! She spreads in the most amazing way, especially diagonally, leaving me a spot just long enough for my 5ft length.

I have what they call a super king size bed. This is very big really just for little old me. So I lie in the middle, and then I take two pillows, and lie them by each side of me, so I am sandwiched between two pillows that run along my arm. There is more space between the edge of the mattress and the pillows either side thatn the actual room I sleep in.

Odd?

 

[starrkers]

He sleep witha CPAP machine, which blows air at me. I go to sleep on the right side, away from him, and move as the mood and his airways allow

 

[Guest]

I sleep on my side, usually left side, hugging a body pillow.

I have my own thick comforter to burrow in. Hubby uses a sheet or nothing at all.

I love to snuggle and sometimes wind up spooning with hubby. Often that leads to more, unless we're both exhausted.

(What is it about men and spooning???)

 

[JagFarlane]

Mmmm due to years of sleeping on ship, I've become quite accustomed to sleeping on my right side, but rolled halfway down, almost on my stomach but not quite...

Isn't that amazing? How the hell does a 5'6" chick manage to hog 96% of a king sized bed? THEN, grumble when you push one of her arms out of the way so you can lay down on 5% of the damn thing (the 4% SHE leaves is equaly dispersed on each corner of the bed )

What IS kind of nice is that to accomplish this impressive feat she has to sleep with her legs spread wide open. Hehehe, what the hell, I'm awake anyway...

I have a queen-sized bed (husband sleeps in his own room, thank god), and unless spidey's in bed with me, I take up the whole damn bed.

It's mine, so why not?

I'm huge and I only take up half a queen-size. I was in a king-size at a hotel once, just for the novelty of it, and I still kept to the side.

And also, whenever I am face down, I have my head pointed to my left. When I try to sleep on my back, my head is pointed to the right. My nose is always facing the same side of the room, no matter which way my body is facing, no matter which nostril is breathing better. It's very strange.

My Chiropractor told me that I needed to sleep on my side. Impossible. He said that I always slept with my head to the right on my tummy and that my neck had better range of motion in that direction than the left. So... since I can't do the side thing... I changed my bedroom around and where my alarm clock and cell phone are. Now I HAVE to face the other way to see the clock and hit snooze.

Funny enough... the cat hasn't figured out that my sleep orientation is changing, so now when the alarm goes off, I slap the cat half the time to snooze. Poor little dude.
