Sleeping positions. There are so many. Side sleepers, or on your back, maybe stomach...

How about you?

My natural position is side, but it hurts my back. I have found sleeping in a recliner most comfortable and no back problems. Forces me to sleep on my back.

I pretty much start out on my stomach, but eventually I end up sleeping on my hands and they go to sleep. Then it's the right side, the left side, the right side, the left side, the........... The only position I can't sleep in is on my back, at least not flat on my back.

The Spousal Equivalent says it's like sleeping with a Whirling Dervish.

That's an odd wakeup

Start out on my back for about 1/2 hour and then as I’m drifting off to sleep I roll over to the left side. It won’t be long before I’m on my stomach and that’s the way I spend most of the night. Eventually I’ll be facing towards the right side.

My daughters both sleep on their stomach too.

I also must have a very soft, thin pillow for this rigamarole.

Do you remember being "topped and tailed" as a youngster as well?

Not this type though, quote:
"Top 'N' Tail"
"Unless you love your partners feet more than their face, top 'n' tailing as you can probably guess, suggests an unhealthy time in the relationship. It's the closest thing to sleeping in separate beds entirely, which can only spell uncertainty."

I could go to sleep on a pin-head, and....

I've been told (reliably) that the romantic tones of my snoring can be heard across the street and beyond. I've even considered installing a microphone over my bed, so that people around the world can take comfort in the rythymic tones eminating from my slumber.
Did I wake you?

The laptop between us would be the unhealthy one. Sleeping head to toe means no CPAP blowing in my face to wake me up in the middle of the night. Besides, I get more feet messages now.

I take my after lunch nap I doze on my back
When I go to bed, I start on my back,basically a side sleeper

Side sleeper here! Wake up every few hours to switch sides.

I wonder why we sleep in the positions we do. Is it something to do with how we were positioned in the womb before we were born?

I get up every few hours to go to the bathroom, and then switch sides. It is a skill that comes with age.
