Poll: How do you sleep?

[Mr. GameBrain]

I... tend to sleep on my stomach.

Its too uncomfortable to sleep on my sides, I normally get a dead arm or a sore neck in the morning.

As for sleeping on my back well... I don't normally do it. Firstly for some reason lying on my back normally gives me an erection, and sometimes a paralysing feeling as well. Doesn't make me sleep, just makes me kinda pause.

So stomach it is! XD

Clinging on for dear life at the edge of the bed while my wife spreads out is how I sleep.

 

[game-lover]

I can sleep in any position. But then again, I sleep wild. So often, I'll wake up in a different position than the one I started in.

 

[MasterMasamune]

Either on my stomach or on either side, with a pillow on each side. Usually on my right side, since for some reason, I like sleeping facing my bedroom door.

I can't seem to fall asleep on my back, it just isn't comfortable to me.

 

[piinyouri]

I have pretty severe issues even falling asleep in the first place.
It's not insomnia (I'm pretty sure) as when I've finally exhausted myself I will sleep, rather easily, it just seems like if there is an ounce of enrgy left in me, I'm not drifting off. Have to get up, exercise, play drums, get on the computer, something.

Also food. I cannot sleep when my belly is empty. Doubly so since I'm hypoglycemic and going to bed hungry is a sure fire way to wake up shaking and sweating with a nice blood sugar crash.

Anywho, when I do finally get to bed, it's usually on my back with my arm giving my head support, or on my belly, which never ends well because I usually wake in the night with the same problem Zhukov has.

I scares the shit out of me to wake up and know for SURE this time I've laid on it too long and I'm NEVER GOING TO FEEL MY ARM AGAIN.

Like a Grizzly bear. . .according to friends I've spent the night with.

Other than that, I can fall asleep in whatever position I find comfortable that particular night.

 

[Phasmal]

On my side. Always.
I remember hearing something about people dying by drowing in puke if they lay on their back when I was a kid. Since then I just can't do it or something childish in me goes `NO! Lay on your side or you could choke on vomit!`.
I am aware of how neurotic that sounds.
And also how unlikely actually drowning in vomit is.

 

[ohnoitsabear]

With my eyes closed.

Serious answer: On my right side. It usually takes me a while to fall asleep, so before I fall asleep I usually shift to my left side for a while, but a always go to my right side before falling asleep.

On a side note, now that I think about it, I have no idea what position I wake up in. I must find out tonight.

 

[Anget Colslaw]

On my sides but I've been able to sleep on my back or even sitting up.
I just usually have to be tired enough to do so.

 

[Jolly Co-operator]

In the blood of my enemies. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to got post this in the "Worst Way You've Woken Up" thread . . . those poor bunnies

 

[Starik20X6]

I roll around during the night. I tend to keep myself curled up though, not all splayed across the bed.

 

[Spartan212]

On my left side, arm tucked under my pillow. For some reason, I always kick like a mule in my sleep. Many ladies who have had the pleasure of sharing my bed have woken up with bruised shins and angry faces

Good thing it's not the other way around or you'd have to cut a hole in your mattress

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Generally I sleep on my sides although occasionally I mix it up by just being flat on my back.

I can sleep sitting but it never is a restful night whenever I do that.

 

[Ljs1121]

Typically on my side, semi-fetal position with an arm under the pillow. Sooooooooo comfortable.

 

[Slayer_2]

I sleep curled up a bit so I don't hang over the bed. Being 6'3 makes fitting in a bed properly and cold feet suck.

 

[the doom cannon]

I sleep in almost any position. It really just depends on the bed, where it's located, and if anyone else is in it. If my bed is against a wall, I tend to sleep on my side with my back against the wall. On a bed away from the wall I sleep flat on my back or stomach. If the significant other is in my bed, I sleep flat on my back or on my side facing away from them. It's just so uncomfortable sharing that much body heat. Thank god for the full bed so I can sprawl out.

 

[timeformime]

Sometimes, if I feel adventurous or my neck hurts, on side with arm under pillow, another pillow between legs to take pressure off my back (feels great, try it). But most nights I just flop on my stomach and pass out.

 

[TehCookie]

I lie every which way, I can't stay still while sleeping. There are way to many things that keep me from sleeping to list.

 

[smithy_2045]

I'm really bad at sleep.

 

[lacktheknack]

However. I'm not too picky.

I used to sleep on my front, but I wake up barely breathing. My back is seeing more love, but there's something to be said for sleeping on your side, splayed out, in reverse, hanging over the edge of the bed, or plain old falling out of it (happily, I no longer use a bunk bed).
