    I sleep on my right/tummy with my right arm under my pillow and my feet have to hit the bottom of the bed. What position sends you right off. And no smartasses *doggy* comments please ;)

    on my stomach.
    or sometimes facing the wall, curled up into a ball...

    On a bed, lying down.

    Nearly always on my stomach. Or else curled up embryonically


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


    On my tummy with my left arm under the pillow and my right arm over it! Or on my left side.. with my right leg bent and my left straight! :p

    I lay directly on my head, with one arm pointing north, and the other pointing towards my crotch. My legs, naturally, are suspended up in the air until such time as all the blood has drained from them and they go numb.

    At which point I drift right off.

    On stomach, right hand under pelvic bone, left hand used to curl / stuck blankets in around my neck, legs spread slightly apart (no smart comments please!) so no skin touching skin, right cheek face down into bed, oh, no pillow when lying in this position, & can't wear pj bottoms:- a bit weird I guess.
    Also don't like anoyone touching me when I'm falling asleep, i.e. arm around me, any part of another body touching any part of me!!!

    After I fall asleep I alternate between this position & lying on either side (with pillow), never sleep on my back.

    My bf:- sleeps on his back with arms folded ALL NIGHT, never budges, I toss & turn all night!

    Suspended from the ceiling with ankle boots.

    On a bed, lying down.
    I'd have to go with this. ..that or on my head half way up the stairs if I'm looking for something a little different.

    ....whats with all the "sleeping" threads today?


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


    Usually on my right side with my arms curled into the covers underneath my chin. Or on my belly with my arms folded under my head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,082 ✭✭✭Tobias Greeshman


    Either on my side with one leg bent and the other straight, or else on my back with both legs straight. Don't know how anyone can sleep on their tummy, it's so damn uncomfortable.


  • Moderators, Regional North East Moderators Posts: 12,742 Mod ✭✭✭✭cournioni


    On my side. Knees curled up, and bed covers wrapped tightly around my shoulders. Sooo comfortable!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,857 ✭✭✭Duckjob


    On my tummy with one arm at the top of my head and the other down by my side. Doesn't matter which arm but I always like to have my head facing to the side of the raised arm. Don't know why that is.

    Although for some reason, when I wake up toasty warm in the morning then on my side in foetal position seems like the most comfortable position in the world - pure luxury.

    I'm a Freefaller according to this http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3112170.stm#sleep

    I sleep in the recovery position...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 119 ✭✭Manolo Blahnik


    How the hell do people sleep lying on their backs :eek:

    I sleep with my quilt between my legs :o on my side or else lying on my tummy.

    It changes everynight. When I'm nearly asleep I have to turn once I don't know why though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,065 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    depends. i've often woken from a drunken stupor with my legs on the bed and head on the floor and that position reversed. sometimes i'll fall asleep on my back, sometimes on my stomach. usually though i'm asleep, so i can't really tell.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    on my back, arms folded then usually end up curled in a ball :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 494 ✭✭meowCat


    On my back!!!
    Have serious problem falling alseep in any other position.

    *EDIT: If I am not alone I try to accommodate the needs of the other one though. At least until he is asleep.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 364 ✭✭BrenC
