Over the past several years I have noticed that I will almost instinctively position myself to be sleeping in bed diagonally. Is this more prevalent among Aspies than NTs. Just one of those curious questions I had.

No, but my family has found it odd that I usually sleep fully clothed.

I don't intentionally sleep in a diagonal position, but sometimes I wake up to find that I have shifted into that position overnight.

Perhaps you need a longer bed.

My wife does this until she's almost pushing me off the bed... then I'll finally have to ask her to move over. :lol:

Hah, I do this when my bed is actually unfolded (I have a futon). Then again, I'm tall, so it just kinda makes sense.

I don't think it's signifficantly more common in Aspies or NTs, it's just how you're comfortable. I don't sleep diagonally myself, but I know my brother does and he's NT.

I once had this routine where my pillow had to be aligned against the wall where my bed was. Dunno why, just felt right :/
