Which direction to you normally sleep in?

[FPLOON]

I've never understood the way some beds are pushed right into a corner and against a wall. It must make it annoying when it comes time to change the bed sheets.

Well, I remember when I used to share a bed with my mother, I had a tendency to fall off the sides of the bed no matter which side I slept on... So, when I finally got my own bed, it always had to be close to the right wall otherwise I would fall off...

It's also why I could never sleep on the top bunk when it came to summer camp... (Not really the best of times in that apartment, at least...)

However, in terms of changing bed sheets, I've never really annoyed me as much as you may think... (Then again, I'm mostly sleeping on the floor than my own bed these days... *chuckles*)

 

[Someone Depressing]

My head down in my pillow in a shallow attempt to kill myself, but without the courage to actually kill myself.

As you behold before your eyes, this has not yet worked. That, or I'm a ghost.

 

[Elfgore]

I can only fall asleep on my stomach, direction varies on a nightly basis. But when I sleep, I tend to flip onto my back and have one leg up. I also tend to move around a lot when I sleep. I weep for my future partner.

 

[TheRookie8]

I sleep on my side facing opposite to the window, and usually wake up in the middle of the woods.

 

[Barbas]

I usually sleep curled up into a ball to preserve warmth, under several sheets to keep the cold out - if it gets into your bones, it's the end. I wake up in more or less the same position in which I fell asleep[footnote]Imagine a prawn.[/footnote].

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Any and all directions. Left, right, up, down, you name it.

Get with the times man! It's Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Snooze. Sheesh. /eyeroll /sarcasm

OT: I don't always sleep in weird positions...

Spoiler: But when I do

I sleep on the roof.

 

[Coppernerves]

I tend to sleep on the left or the right, with my head resting on the inside of the lower elbow (double jointed shoulders), and my upper leg a bit forward and bent, leaning my front down a bit.

I don't have sheets, I have a duvet and cover (my upbringing), I wrap it around me a bit like a sleeping bag.

I think I usually wake up right side down, so I guess that's how I tend to fall asleep.

 

[lacktheknack]

Feet on the pillow, head on the footboard.

I spin in bed, so I can fall asleep in any position and wake up in any other position. If I'm restricted (crappy miniature motel beds), I'll often sleep on my back and wake up feeling like I got hit by a train.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

I seem to always be facing the center of my room
Except maybe in the summer, when i get a face full of daylight if i did that

As an update, I couldn't sleep at all last night, no idea why.
Once I was really tired (at about 2AM), I tried going to bed again, still couldn't sleep, but half-consciously day-dreamed until I heard neighbours getting up (About 8 I think).

It was really nice actually, I was all warm and floaty and too dulled for boredom or worries.

 

[Sealpower]

I always fall asleep on my belly facing left and wake up on my back. Also, my head must be pointing north, this is extremly important (east and west might work in an emergency (east better than west) but it's impossible for me to sleep pointing south. Strange, but that's just how it is...

I've never understood the way some beds are pushed right into a corner and against a wall. It must make it annoying when it comes time to change the bed sheets.

For me, only the head of the bed should be against the wall, all the other sides of the bed should be accessible.

I have to agree with Sky here

Not really, you just pull the bed out a tiny bit so you can tuck the covers back in. Plus if you toss and turn a lot, being against the wall stops you from falling out of the bed.

I have my bed in a corner of my room. Moreso for space saving reasons and so that when I get a monitor in my room again I can play with my kinect and have the space for it. If I don't want to sleep in the corner I either sleep on the couch that is to the right of my bed(from how I am usually sitting/laying on my bed) or pull out the bed in the couch and sleep on that which puts me in the middle of my room. Or go into the house and sleep on the couch there.

I fall asleep in different positions and wake up in stranger. But like Topaz, I also toss and turn. And quite frequently my blankets either wind up on the floor or I have managed to wrap myself so tightly in them that I have issues fighting my way out of them when I want to get up or move or do anything.......But that's only if I sleep alone. If I cuddle up to someone I turn if a part of my body gets sore but mostly don't move the entire night. Sleeping alone I also fight and have woken up with my pillow in my mouth and my jaw hurting. If I don't cuddle but someone is in bed with me, I steal all the blankets, growl at them, and fight them. I'm apparently not very nice in my sleep. And I toss and turn which is partly how I wind up with all the blankets in the first place.

I have also been known to turn on my heater at the end of my bed in my sleep and turn on/off my heated blanket in my sleep and have no recollection of either.

And sometimes sleepwalk. I've gone to sleep in my bed before and woken up on the bathroom floor, the hall floor, the living room floor, bedroom floor, curled up in my dad's chair, in the bathtub(luckily dry), on the toilet....though that one is happening less and less frequently the older I get thankfully. Though I do still wake up with random bruises some of which would be almost impossible, and very hard to do to yourself.

Oh and I talk/snore. And my head is always facing a door and at least one window.....unless I've managed to turn myself around and then wonder where the hell my pillows are and wake completely inverted from how I fell asleep. I am still a fan of my waking up half on/half off the bed since my bed is a good few feet off the ground......

I tend to sleep on my side facing whatever way I can, whichever feels more comfy. I do tend to swap about a lot. If I had the room to, I would probably sleep on my back with my arms spread. I always found that the most comfortable way to sleep. Though I do like sleeping with my back against my boyfriends back. It's rather comforting.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

I tend to face the wall (left/west) head pointed south and feet north. Roughly as our house isn't exactly compass-squared. I do toss and turn but end up facing the wall by morning mostly.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

I usually lay on my left side with my back touching the wall. my bed is pushed into a corner so that my back can face/touch the wall when I sleep and so I can see my door at all times. If my back is facing open air or doesn't have anything solid to it I freak out and can't sleep.
And if I can't see my door I simply don't go to sleep.
And i always wake up in the same position I fell asleep in.

 

[Bertylicious]

My left ear is deformed so it's difficult to sleep on that side without being kept awake by my pulse so normally I sleep on the right. If I've been drinking before bed or just eaten a big meal I tend to get really bad indigestion if i stay on my side so under those circumstances I sleep on my back.

I'm always amazed by people being able to sleep on their fronts. I couldn't do that in a month of Sundays.

 

[Ubiquitous Duck]

I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure there is only.. "one direction".. that I sleep in..

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahaha...

...somebody please kill me.

 

[username sucks]

I usually fall asleep on my back, with my arms crossed over my chest. It's similar to how corpses are displayed in coffins, kinda. I have no idea how I wake up because I jump out of my bed immediately when my alarm goes off.
