Your sleeping position

Post Reply New Topic

In what position do you most typically sleep in? I do it in an embrional one but when I wake up in the morning when it's still too early to wake up, or in the middle of the night, which unfortunately happens to me very often (almost every night), I like to fall asleep again while lying on my back but having my head put on the right or left, with my legs crossed in the ankles and my hands crossed on my chest.

With a blanket on my head.
Usually on right side, sometimes left.

I don't like lying on my left side because then I feel that my heart is squeezed. But in the past I wasn't bothered by it. My whole body is covered by the quilt, only my head sticks out.

Usually on my left side, sometimes supine.

due to a shot SI-joint as well as arthritis in my shoulders and knees and ankles, i toss and turn.

I sleep on my stomach with my hands underneath my body. I can't fall asleep in any other postion with the exception of sitting upright in the car.

On my side(s). I can fall asleep on my back if I need to. I have tried to sleep on my stomach but I can't because I have a chiari malformation...it makes the base of my neck hurt, so that position is super uncomfortable.

I fall asleep really fast when lying on my back, but I find it uncomfortable so I rarely do it. I sleep on my side, whichever one feels "right". There's just a feeling when I get into bed that tells me what side I need to start on. Usually I lie on that side until I'm just about to fall asleep and then I roll over and sleep. And since I got my water pillow I actually sleep through the night, rolling over once in the morning to "even out" my body because it's feels wrong if I only sleep on one side and not the other at all because I used to toss and turn all night.

I don't even know if I CAN sleep on my back.

Same here. I've never done it...it just seems kinda scary to me.

I usually start off tossing from side to side, then end up on my stomach...with my arms under my pillows all the time.

Bit of a mess really.

I sleep on my left side, in fetal position.

I sleep on my back or my right side, facing my husband.

I used to sleep on my stomach until I read in a medical article about how over the years, the weight can actually flatten your breasts. True or not, not something I want to risk, so I trained myself to sleep other ways. Usually wake up on my back.

I don't know what position I sleep because I am asleep.

Right side most of the times and I would be in a straight positive, sometimes curled.

On my chest with a blanket over my head.

on my back, my face tends to go away from wherever the door to the room is.
Sleeping on a flat floor on your back can solve most back problems, I've heard.
