Just for curiousity.... I am a very curious person, what can i say, i wonder about things. The question that popped up in my head now was in which position you people prefere to go to sleep. I always lie on the side, blanket over me, one foot sticking out to taste the air and making me feel glad the rest is under the blanket. One leg is outstretched and the other is drawn so it looks like i'm running lying down. One hand is almost always placed in the fold of the knee of the updrawn leg. It is also that leg whose foot tastes air (and no, i'm not afraid that a monster shall creep up from under the bed and grab my foot). I move around while i'm sleeping so there is no saying how i will wake up but not in that position.

I lie on my right side because Uncle Stephen said once that he was afraid using the left would wear out one's heart or some such thing lol.
I start out on my right side, arm tucked between my two pillows and one leg bent/pulled up (right leg).
It's back and forth from side to side from then on through the night.
Left side, holding my full body pillow and usually with hubby's arm around my waist unless it's crazy hot!
By the way, I like to stick one foot out too, unless it's too cold!

Have to be on my stomach, head facing to the right, and right leg is usually bent and right hand tucked under the pillow but after I've gotten to sleep I'll move around to other positions except for lying on my back. Just can't get comfortable sleeping that way.
On my side. Either one doesn’t matter.
I had to order an under-the-covers Bedfan for someone at Christmas. The company sent me two by mistake, and told me to just keep it. It sits in the box unopened. What the heck am I supposed to do with something as crazy as this?

I can start out on my left side, snuggled up to my husband, or flat on my back. But to fall asleep, I seem to have to be on my right side. I have to have a pillow tucked under my jaw, a pillow tucked under my shoulder, and a body pillow to wrap my arms and knees around. I'll often rub my feet together to fall asleep, lord knows why, and even though our mattress is flat on the floor, I can not have my feet out of the blankets. Something WILL reach out and touch me, I just know it....
I sleep halfway on my side and halfway on my stomach. I can doze for a bit on my back if I am a little upright. Of course, since my surgery, it's hard to sleep on my left side for long. My arm falls asleep pretty easy and it wakes me up when it does.
IDK, I am usually unconscious as soon as my head hits the pillow!
I fall asleep most often on my right side. Right leg stretched out straight, left leg curled up and foot out from under the blankets. I have a lot of pain in that side still, even 4 years after my gall bladder surgery. When it is hurting, I will switch to left side but I always wake up on my right side anyway. It is a losing battle, I guess.
I flip and flop a lot. Cannot go to sleep on my back but I do get there from time to time, I know because I get the elbow in the ribs because I'm snoring.
And I usually don't sleep on my stomach, unless I am having an especially hard time falling asleep, sometimes that is the only way I can go to sleep. In those instances, snuggled clear down under the blankets with my arms outstretched above my head.

Please tell me this isn't a picture of your butt.......taken of me by Tracy this very AM.....
...not unless my butt has a nose....
So again, I'll ask... That wasn't your butt was it?

I lay on my right side, two pillows between my knees, one arm up toward the head of the bed, one curled into my chest. The pillow under my head has to be all mushed into place properly to support my neck but not impede my breathing.
I used to roll around all night, but now more often than not I will wake up exactly the same way I fell asleep. Those are pretty rough days, because I'm more stiff and sore than I would normally be because of my fibro.
I wonder sometimes, if a future archaeologist finds my skeleton, will s/he be able to tell I spend so much time on my right? Is my rib cage flatter on that side, or maybe my shoulder or hip getting misshapen?

...considering the amount of times I've been called a "butthead" or some other similarly sweet pejorative, I suppose it's possible....And...
...well, does it???
On my back in almost a sitting position with pillows in back. Legs usually straight. Will often end up on my left side, right arm under the pillow and legs in a fetal position, but eventually go back to back position. Had chromic bronchitis for years and this was the best way to sleep, so it became a habit.
