Sleeping Positions

Where's the option for "spin around in my sleep like a wind turbine".

I sleep on my right side, mostly. I don't know how I could sleep on my stomach -- it makes me feel like I'm suffocating.

Au contraire, I have found that for me it actually allows for better breathing. I speak only from experience, but when I lay on my stomach it makes it impossible to breath up in the clavicle because the lungs alone can't push up my body to fill up. Therefore, the breath has to come deeper from the diaphragm which is a healthier habit of breathing (which admittedly I wouldn't know if it weren't for voice therapy and singing lessons).

I like sleeping on my back or my side. Sleeping on my stomach is uncomfortable because of... well... my "pillows."

Sorry to hear that.    I sometimes get that problem, though I find that it can be mitigated by a quick shift of weight one way or another. One of the few perks of a small chest.

Agreed.

But my general preference is on my stomach.  However, I'm a toss'n'turner.

I've found that the way I breathe while lying on my stomach makes it easier to relax and drift off.

I sleep on my left side because for some reason my sleeping on my right causes nightmares.

[ThunderWulf]

I usually sleep on my side but will occasionally sleep on my back.  I can NOT sleep on my stomach.

Hit the wrong button. I meant to hit on my back. Oops.

Anyways, I am a pretty violent sleeper. I tend to thrash about and roll around and generally beat up Mrs. Rookie during the night. But for some reason, no matter what position I end up falling asleep more often than not I wake up on my back.

I generally sleep on either of my sides, but I do tend thrash about in my sleep also. I'm also known for having full conversations in my sleep, that I don't remember by the time I wake up, and my mom will usually tell me about in the morning.

I sleep like:
1) in the prone position. You know the one. The military version.
2) On my side, usually my right. Curled up against my headboard. Sometimes I swap to my left and press my face into my headboard.

If you ever find me on my back there's probably something wrong with me.

You spin me right round, baby, right round....


I toss a lot too...mostly because I bruise myself like you wouldn't believe.  I can't even wear pajamas on a regular basis, or the folds in the fabric will dig into my skin.

[Kain]

I sleep on my stomach. In fact, it's the only position I can sleep in.

[Jebediah]

I like to sleep on my stomach with one arm under my pillow, my doll under the other arm and one of my legs bent up at a right angle, with the other one straight.

Or sometimes on my side.

The image of you sleeping with a doll curled under your arm is unbearably adorable.

I often sleep in a similar position, minus the doll.

[Random Gal]

I generally sleep best when I'm on my back or occasionally my stomach. Although sometimes I'll wake up to find myself in a "legs folded over self in the air like a dead bug" pose for some reason. I also have a tendency to wake up drenched in sweat even when it's not particularly warm.

Also, aside from occasions where I'm in close proximity to other people, I always sleep naked. I ditched the clothes almost instantly when I learned just how comfortable sleeping naked can be.

[Normandy]

I usually sleep on my back or sometimes on my stomach.  I rarely ever sleep on my side.

Also this.

Cuddled in the arms of a cute guy, failing that applying an anaconda death squeeze to my goose down pillows and on my side and pretending
