Usually on my side.

On my side. I fall asleep in a few seconds.

Useta sleep on my front, with head turned to the side. Now I am old, and I sleep on my back, propped up a bit, which keeps my asthma from giving me pneumonia, honest to God, don't ask. Plus I elevate my feet. It's actually very cozy, kind of like being in a hammock but with no worries about tipping out. And the cats have no problem finding places to snuggle next to me. :-)


That is sweet, I'm hopefully getting my own cat soon, I prefer the company of animals :)


There is nothing in the world as blissful as drifting off to sleep with a purring cat beside you. Don't get me wrong, I've loved and been loved by a couple great guys over the years (cat snores are much cuter, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tcOD0RP_v8). But when an animal feels safe enough to fall asleep in your presence, curled up right beside you, it's incredibly comforting, like nothing else in the world.

"Badly".


I have no choice but to 'accommodate' my damn sinuses, or I won't able to breathe well. Worse, I might as well end up with a sneezing fit as soon as I lay down, and it won't stop until who knows when. Sometimes it doesn't make me sleep for the entire night at all.

Same positions don't always work. I may sleep with several pillows on several places, or none. On the side, on the back, or on the stomach. Even on the table or on the floor rather than the bed.

And breathing through the mouth would likely make me sick waking up, especially when the room is cold. It doesn't help that in a way my senses fluctuates.


So badly, I grew up hating sleep. I rarely ever felt refreshed.

The only upside is, that, I can actually sleep almost anywhere whenever I feel like sleeping.
Be it in a rough, hard, too hot and noisy place -- to somewhere too soft, too woobly, too cold, and with deafening silence. Whether it's a familiar place or not. Even with the smell, or the crowd, or on a very suffocating place...

On my side. It's the only way I don't feel so vulnerable.
