not how well, but, like... physically, functionally? do you sleep on your side? on your back? on your stomach? if on the side, do you prefer a side? if on the side, what do you do with your bedside arm? |

I fall asleep on stomach or side, either works though I wake up usually sleeping on my back. On my side, I'm always turned towards the right, and sleep on the right side of the bed. When falling asleep on my stomach, right arm is tucked L shaped under my pillow. I sleep with 1 pillow. It's like 12 years old now, but I haven't found one that suits me better. My right leg is always hanging off the bed, and my entire body is at a slight angle onto my wife's side. I use a cpap machine because I have mild sleep apnea. In this thread I learned that stomach is not spelled stomache. |

ooh, very important: if falling alseep on my stomache, head MUST be turned to the left, blowing cold cpap air into my wife's direction. 0% chance I'd fall asleep with head to right. |

side or back, i usually fall asleep on my right with my left leg dangling, pivoting on my left knee. can't sleep on my stomach, the spondulitis has bent my spine into entirely the wrong shape. i have one hand under my head or the pillow, one hand free |

pivoting on *right knee, not that it's important but it'll bug me otherwise i actually fall asleep sooner on my back with headphones on but i like drifting off on my side better, with the radio on quietly. gives me funky dreams for some reason, disturbed sleep i guess but i find it hard to drift off without music or quiet voices |

this thread is really from star trek : tng ~ they always go to bed the same way and i just can't freaking get over it. always: on their side, arm under the pillow. that i noticed because i almost never go arm under pillow, and... william riker, dr. crusher, they all do it. i'm in bed as i watch these, usually, and i'm wondering: did someone deliberately instruct them to do it that way, for the sake of cinematography? did gene dingleberry adamantly insist that this was how people slept in space, in the future? it comes from a deeper personal interest. i've somehow managed to mostly solve the issue as i've gotten older, but i used to have the most terrible time falling asleep. that my brain is like my posts, and i'd be lying in bed, wanting to go to sleep, but... brain. won't. shut. up. then i'm almost alseep but something's uncomfy, something itches, and i snap out of it to deal with it. purgatory. that, roommate of mine years ago, had been in the army, and i very earnestly asked: "do they teach you how to sleep in the military?" that i was thinking: there is a way to lie in the jungle if you have to sleep on the ground, to not get wildlife all over you, and the military tells you how to fucking tie your shoes; maybe they tell you how to sleep, too? because help no, this guy once legitimately slept through an air raid siren, sargent thought he was bullshitting, but no, he slept like that. even before a hand grenade incident left him deaf in one ear, he was just out like that. and so he was beyond confused by my question so getting comfy, it has to be a very serious ritual. i think about my positions. that's the first half. to get my brain to shut up, pranayama 4:7:8 and whiskey. |

growing up, i habitually slept on my left side. whenever i fell asleep on my right side, i'd have really strange, intense dreams. i'd not advise doing this because after a decade or two, i developed TMJ on one side of my jaw from gravity for hours every cycle for two decades. so now i rotate it if i try to sleep on my back, well, i think i'm doing that wrong somehow, airway constriction, and the few that have had the nerve to sleep with me tell me: that's when you snore. so, seems like bad news, and i usually don't -- but i have trouble falling asleep that way anyways; breathing. stomach; i don't get it. how the hell can you possibly fall asleep that way? i started trying arm under pillow more; maybe star trek is onto something? it seems to solve a few problems, but same as last i messed about with it: very easy to make your arm go numb if you do it wrong. i think it's more supposed to angle the pillow. so the army has no clue. do doctors? is there some doctorly white paper on best practices for sleeping? |

leg off the bed; another i could never manage. but i understand it's very important for not choking on your own vomit, should that be a concern for the evening. |

always: on their side, arm under the pillow. yes, it may be for the camera, firstly you wouldnt see the face in most positions and we know tv is all about the facial shot, then, imagine an officer face first in the cushion, sticking out his rear to the audience! lay em on their back and it looks like a mourned person typically is presented. still it is one of the most natural positions to sleep or rest in comfortably anywhere. its one of my fave positions. its also close to the medical recovery position. so i never wondered about seeing it in the series. wifey always wondered how they sleep and wake up with perfect make up. i guess thats one of the benefits of the future. |

I don’t move much, but I alternate postions. Sleeping with my ex wife and two dogs, and later with a dog a colostomy bag have helped me appreciate the luxury of movement during the night. I think I don’t move a lot because of my dog, as not to hurt him. |

My would sleep diagonally across the bed legs spread out while I’d have a dog on each side glued to me. At that time I didn’t realise I had become intolerant to lactose as well… As you can imagine having a bit of gut sticking out into a bag meant I slept on my back, sometimes allowing myself to slightly lean to my right side a little. Oh sometimes I sort of hug a pillow. Wether I’m in a relationship or not. |
