    So folks, imagining your on your own and you're sleeping in your double bed.. do you sleep to one side? Do you have a "side" if you usually share your bed?

    Personally I just sleep right in the middle, unless sharing the bed. I've never had to have a "side" and I find the notion odd though I understand why one would choose one, I guess. Like, which side is better?!

    If shes not there, I usually find myself sleeping on her side like the pussy whiped sap I am.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    I usually sleep diagonally across the bed if im alone, or on the inside if i gots compay.




    But secretly i hate sleeping on t'inside

    :D

    Dont really have a side, sleep all over the place and normally end up with the blanket on the floor. My wife secretly hates me :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭takola


    If he's away i sleep on his side. :(
    We never really "chose" sides.. It just ended up with him on one side on me on the other! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,347 ✭✭✭daiixi


    in the middle! and if sharing I don't care what side, unless the bed is next to the wall and then I sleep on the outside (if I'm allowed to!)

    On the right on my own, on the left when with someone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    I like sleeping on the edge, dont like being boxed in!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    I will always sleep on the side closest to the door.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    Sleep on the left side, stupid teddies won't let me over to their side.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,220 ✭✭✭20 Times 20 Times


    When the Girlfriend stays over i have to have the right side. When im on my own i just pan out anywhere :)

    If the bed is up against a wall I sleep on the side closest to the wall, if it's in the middle of the room I sleep on whichever side seems to have less space surrounding it. I like to feel closed in. If I'm sharing I do the same.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21 *Super*Star*


    When I am sharing a bed I am normally on the right, on my own, em, I usually just pick a bit of the bed and stay there all night, I don't move around much when I sleep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    On my own I'm a middler with someone I'm a lefty and usually I dont like being on the outside!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 119 ✭✭Manolo Blahnik


    How do people cope with sleeping next to someone :confused:

    The worst feeling in the world's when you're juuuust abput to fall asleep and they move.
    I've never slept in a double bed with a fella it's always been a single :eek:
    prefer sleeping on the inside


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,084 ✭✭✭dubtom


    I'm restricted to the left side, although I find most nights she encroaches on to my side leaving me with a few inches. Are all Woman so selfish when it comes to bed space. I sometimes get up because I'm nearly on the floor anyway and when I go back she's doing the diaganol thing.What's that about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,894 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    somethin i noticed a lot when i was younger with my own parents and mates parents is that when you stand at the bottom of the bed looking towards the pillows at the opposite end, the mother was on the right and dad on the left. odd but ive seen it in loads of places.

    me personally i prefer to be against the wall and if its in the middle of the room i dont care once i have lots of space to myself. cant sleep with someone too near.

    it's about women bein a bunch of saps. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    Ok this bit was left unlear by the OP. Are you saying you sleep on the left from the POV that you're lying down in the bed or looking at the bed from the bottom of it?

    If from the POV of lying down I always sleep on the right, always have in all of my beds, I can't sleep any other way...unless I've been drinking :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    If I am with someone I will snuggle under their arm for half of the night, the other half I will still face the door.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 4,436 Mod ✭✭✭✭Suaimhneach


    I should have probably done a poll! :)

    I sleep all over the bed when alone, and it changes whenever the fella stays over. But he has a side in his place, which got me wondering... and thread startin'.

    Ya see, same thing, take his side of the bed, sweat all over him for half the night and go back on your own side when it's time for him to get up for work.
    Bloody selfish I say. Woman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,644 ✭✭✭✭nesf


    On the right-hand side, on the edge of the bed. Always. I have no idea why this started, but it's how I've slept for years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    Left ftw.

    Man you're getting ripped, I'm all for whole woman-on-top thing but that's taking it too far. I think you should have some words with her and ask her to leave the house and never come back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 221 ✭✭Buddy74


    Have to say I'm right!

    indeed.
    any time i have a woman in the bed, she insists on the inside (the bed is beside the wall) and i end up being slowly edged out and just give up and sleep in one of the other rooms or on the couch.

    wherever it's dry...

    zollerz!

    I will never share a bed with anyone, because I keep moving. All night, constantly. I cant stop. I'll stay in one position for about 2mins and then move around again. So much so that people who have slept in the same room as me have been constantly woken up by it!

    Plus I like having a whole double bed to myself. Pity my grandparents are using it now since their house is banjaxed and I've been forced into the single, spare bed :( . With Dublin's house prices I don't think they'll ever leave, and I'll never get it back :(:(:(:(

    I do it too. No matter where I am, home, hotel, etc. It's not something I ever conciously decide but it happens every time. My dad does too but grandfather didn't.

    I've also heard that women prefer to sleep nearest the window for some reason that I can't remember at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Mine is complicated. I don't live with my other half. The double bed in my room has two pillows. Both in the middle. I sleep in the middle, constantly. When I'm with her, I sleep closest the door, unless the bed is against the wall, in which case I sleep against the wall because she feels trapped, whereas I love sleeping against the wall.

    I can no longer sleep in single beds. I constantly find my legs falling over the edges.

    Assuming nobody else is also using my bed, I sleep diagonally. Being a rather large double bed, this gives me unprecedented amounts of sleeping space. Which is nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Gazza22


    I tend to always sleep on the right side, whether i'm on my own or not.....guess it's just a habit

    ya, ya, you act like you have a choice. :)



    Well, right for me on my own. Always. In a single bed i would tend to get out on the left side though.:confused:
    Two people, it is me on the right or she has to sleep on top or below, I'm not budging. Ok, more accurately, if she is strong willed, whereever the **** she wants me to/wherever I end up.
    Then again, I have never had a double bed so its always been their call.
    Single bed, I'm on the outside, ie away from the wall.


    EDIT: I fear for the diagonal peoples sanity.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 267 ✭✭C Fodder


    On the left but on the right if I'm on early's. Used to be nearest the door but since the furniture got moved around I'm now normally away from the door. She isn't pleased because she says there is a draught from the door but she arranged the furniture and she won't move. I guess that means its my fault:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 447 ✭✭blocparty


    its wierd that most guys sleep on the edge if the bed is against the wall and that girls prefer the inside! generally speaking that is!!

    feels like I'm protecting her somehow...:o

    As Seamus said, closer to the door and stuff.

    What about Mr. and Mrs. Squeaks?

    They let me share their tea.. so I can stay awake and be on the look out for killers.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    Maybe you should sleep over the door and when the killer opens it, you fall down on him knocking him out and waking yourself up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,258 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    Well when I lived in my Mam's when I actually had a double bed to sleep in I used to sleep in the middle. Soooooo much space. Only have a single bed now and even though I've been here for over a year I hate it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge

    I'm a very light sleeper and my room is at the top of a spiral stair case... I'd be awake from the moment the killer sets foot on the first step..

    Of course I'm on holiday at the moment in a fancy hotel... so it's all chaos now..

    But the pillows are so soft like marshmallows...

    Actually, that reminds me... I once had a dream I ate my pillow and when I woke up my giant marshmallow was gone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 843 ✭✭✭PrettyInPunk


    i sleep mostly on the right but occasionally venture to the left..if im feeling dangerous.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith


    i'm a strange sleeper, i roll around in the bed a lot

    one morning i woke up hanging out of the bed, it was the left sidetho..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭fuzzywiggle


    Left! Always have to sleep there, either if I'm on my own or the bf is with me! If we go some where like a hotel or something bf always threatens to sleep on my side :( but it never happens :D
