Back for me. Tried out sleeping on a side for a while but i found it screws up my hair too much. 
Poll: How do you sleep?
- Thread starter Ectoplasmicz
- Start date
I can only really sleep with my head to the left, if I'm really tired then I can sleep with it to the right, or on my back - but it's weird meloncholic and pointless sleep, fine for waiting on the snooze alarm going off.

On my side; I have NEVER been able to sleep on my back, although occasionally I wake up on my front.
When I was a child, I used to sleep on my stomach but as I got older I started sleeping on my side. I can sleep on my back but I don't like it too much.
I usually wake up with incredibly numb legs due to a cat sleeping against them.

All over the fucking place. I can fall asleep on my back, belly, or side... but I tend to wake up with my head at the other end of the bed(or off the side) with my blankets and pillows on the floor (or sometimes thrown halfway across the room).
Apparently I have nightmares or angry dreams often. Thankfully, I tend not to remember them, though I'm pretty sure I know what causes them. My current therapist agrees with me, and agrees that it's a perfectly acceptable outlet for my subconscious. Much better than the public breaks that some other vets have.
...my last girlfriend wondered why I insisted on separate beds until she witnessed one of my worse nights. I think it's actually one of the main reasons we're split up now. Spooning just isn't safe with me. Ah well.

Whichever way I end up. usually on my side though. I think. It takes so long for me to fall asleep that I can never remember what way I was facing/what the last thing I did was.
As far as quirks go, I usually can't fall asleep without listening to music for a couple of hours. Really bothersome to try to sleep with earphones plugged in, since I'm often on my side. When I share the bed with my girlfriend, I don't sleep at all. No, not because of THAT (well, most of the time, anyway). It's just that I can't fall asleep. Mind you, I always have trouble falling asleep. Not getting easier when sharing the bed. I also must have my feet covered at all times, it can't be too warm, nor too cold, and it has to be as dark as possible.
Funny enough, these problems (almost) only go for my own bed. In other places it's fine. <.<

To answer the topic title as I intended to: fitfully... whether or not I'm sleeping with someone, and it's usually very irksome.ectoplasmicz said:
OT: On my side or on my back, any of the three's fine, provided I have something to lean on (my bed's against the wall on one side and against a very heavy bookshelf on the other).
Question: How do you sleep?
Answer: Like a log. (cause I roll around on all sides looking for a comfy spot)

On my side so I can cuddle, and switch off on spoon size.
I always need something covering me even if its 90 degrees on my room. I can't sleep without a blanket or with socks on. Just drives me crazy.

Im pretty much the same as that, i get a minimal amount of sleep, which ive heard isnt as bad for you as its made out to be.Caramel Frappe said:
EXACTLY the sameFamoFunk said:Stomach, but my head turned to the side with my arm underneath it. I cannot do it any other way. And I hate it when people try to spoon me and other sloppy shit, they ruin my sleeping position
