Ortac Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I sleep in the recovery position (the position they teach you if you learn first aid). Link to post Share on other sites
Gloomy Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 On my side or my back usually. Link to post Share on other sites
iff Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Usually I've sleep on my left side in a kind of feral position, occasionally though on my right side though I tend to move about Unfortunately for the last three weeks, I've slept on my back as I suffered some bruising three weeks ago that my normal sleeping position would be sore Link to post Share on other sites

Lichley Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I honestly can’t seem to sleep at all unless I’m lying dead on my back with my arms straight to my sides. I always end up cutting off the circulation somewhere otherwise, which causes me to wake up. Link to post Share on other sites
everywhere and nowhere Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Always on the side, I can't sleep in a different position. Sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right - recently mostly left, because only then I can lay facing my fan. But then... - I have a lot of trouble falling asleep, mostly due to my allergy. - I'm absolutely afraid of sleeping pills, they are very harmful, so I'll never take any sleeping medication stronger than herbal teas with ingredients such as lemon balm, lavender, hops... - I have very poor dream recall - about 1-2 remembered dreams per month, and few interesting dreams - which means I hardly get any "reward" for falling asleep. - Which, altogether, means that sleeping is a source of frustration for me and I'd gladly live without sleeping if it was possible. Basically, the only time when I know that I would really have to sleep anyway is my period - without sleeping I would risk paracetamol overdose at some point before my period ends.

paladude Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I sleep primarily on my side but every once in a while if I'm exhausted enough I'll sleep on my stomach Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I also shift around a bit, but my usual basic position is sort of twisted (to deal with low-level chronic back pain), partially on my back and partially on my side. Sort of like this: Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Alien Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Not sure how to answer. I roll around in various positions. Link to post Share on other sites
divided_sky Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Can usually only sleep on my stomach and it frustrates me to no end Link to post Share on other sites
RoseGoesToYale Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I move so much and so violently, I need to just sleep in a straight jacket. Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamer23 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 It differs, but unfortunately mostly on my back I know that sleeping on your left side is technically the healthiest. (It's not like it's a huge difference, particularly since I'm not overly old yet, but you know, I like to optimize whenever possible! xD) Link to post Share on other sites
Member131995 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I actually don't sleep...or should I say, I love sleep but I also love going hours without it. I have on occasion slept standing up and the people around me were a mixture of very confused and amused. When I do sleep, I alternate between my side with a rolled blanket under me and a pillow under my head and between my knees and my back with a rolled blanket under the small of my back and a pillow under my head and calves😊 Link to post Share on other sites
Goonie Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I almost always have to fall asleep on my side, but I'm very active when sleeping so it can be pretty much be any position. The temperature of the room also plays a factor Link to post Share on other sites
Neutral nerd Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Side is most comfortable, but back is necessary at times. Link to post Share on other sites
Kitteη χ Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Either stomach or side. Usually toward the left, so that I'm not facing my alarm clock. Link to post Share on other sites
Lunala Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Usually side/stomach but I move around in my sleep a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
Tasha the demi squirrel Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I voted side but I toss and turn so really I sleep on both sides and stomach at different points during the night lol Link to post Share on other sites
XYZ96 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I generally fall asleep I think on my side or on my stomach, but I very often wake up on by back with my arms over my head (I voted standing up though...) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jetsun Milarepa Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 alternate side to side -especially in this heat! Link to post Share on other sites
Morgenrot Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I once slept standing -- No idea how 😁 But normally I sleep in my side. Seriously, could be anything tho -- so far I've managed to sleep standing, sitting, lying in my back or in my side... 😂 Link to post Share on other sites
J. van Deijck Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 on my stomach. not so good for my spine Link to post Share on other sites
vmdraco Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I move to different positions depending on what's comfy. I tend to curl up in to a ball, with my head at the corner of my pillow. Most of the time I'm on my side, and while hugging the pillow corner I sometimes sleep on my belly. Who knows how often I move during the night tho Link to post Share on other sites
Skycaptain Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Normally on my back, occasionally on my side or in some weird position to avoid a cat which decided to share my bed Link to post Share on other sites
