    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.

    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

    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 :)

    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! :)

    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: 17,097 ✭✭✭✭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.

    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.

    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: 5,924 ✭✭✭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. ;)

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭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: 27,635 ✭✭✭✭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: 237 ✭✭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!
