    Where's the "I'm a gender, and I like to spend my dreamy sleepy nighty snoozy snooze time in a random place between the toliet place and the bed place" option?

    I'm a MAN and I prefer the RIGHT side of the bed.
    Side nearest the door, so left side. Sometimes diagonally across the bed and then I get a kick in the leg or elbow in the side from the wife. :/

    Heehee... Let's see where I wakey wake in the morning :p

    There's nothing waking up in a random place in your own house..

    Hey! I'll hear no bad spoken against my adopted home! We don't have beds for the most part anyway, just hay for bedding. And I sleep face down ftw.

    whichever side I want, always.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 208 ✭✭echter


    i don't have a choice, single bed :(

    Side nearest the door, which has been the left side in both places we've lived.

    Left or right doesnt bother me, but I have to sleep on the side furthest from the wall - I guess I like more space. Unless, that is, I allow another person in, in which case the male always seems to take the side closest to the door regardless of the floor space in between. Big protective man thing I guess...

    I have a gender, and I'd rather curl up on the floor with my ATARI JAGUAR, tbh.
    I voted RHS of bed as thats the side i start on, then i move to the LHS and usually end up sleeping in the middle sprawled out like a star fish.

    But with my ex I always slept on the LHS of the bed.

    The left hand side of the bed, but only because that is furthest away from the door in our bedroom.

    When Pigheads at home and he fancies a bit of shuteye it'd generally be the whole of the bed. One big spreadeagled mass of Pighead.

    When Pigheads feeling pervy and lecherous it'd generally be the right hand side.....
    of my housemates wardrobe. Pighead likes to watch.

    Women should be kept to the left as they are sinister.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 302 ✭✭Cheese Princess


    Star shape in the middle of the bed whenever possible, or diagonal across.

    Unfortunately I have to make room for the boy so don't get to do it often enough.

    I don't like choosing sides, makes things more "settled":eek: I prefer to randomly sleep on different sides every night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭Aura


    Generally just whichever side is closest to the door. Though it does have the drawback of being the last usually to switch off the light. So closest to the door with bedside lamp really.

    Why do you hate women? Did your sister beat you as a child? Were you a child of Margaret Thatchers 1980's English nightmare? Did Beruthial ban you from Personal Issues? Tell us your woes brother kmick,

    When sleeping alone it's the RHS which in my room is closest to the door though when sharing a bed I prefer the LHS.

    You may prefer sleeping on the LHS when sharing a bed but at the end of the day you know as well as Pighead that you'll sleep on whatever side your mother tells you to.

    there was a study done somewhere (america most likely) on this subject and a poll on the radio (today fm) and it was about dominance and when you think about it most men are on the left and thats the driving seat ???? :D

    I sleep on whatever side is closer to the door(you know, to protect her grr), generally the right.

    I'm sleeping all on my own in a double bed. I used to tend to sleep on the left hand side, probably because that's the nearest to the radio. Now though, I'm roaming all over the bed and could wake up anywhere. Oh the joys of being single!

    Appearantly, your preference will come from inherited genetic memory, in most cases anyway. Generally speaking men are genetically predisposed to favouring the side closest to the door (formerly, closest to the mouth of the cave) and women the side closest to the wall (formerly, closest to the young 'uns).

    Allan and Barbara pease cover it in one of their books, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

    This one is serious!.

    Me 6'2'' & 120kgs

    She 5'4'' and 50kgs.

    I love her falling asleep on top of me, & believe it or not we sleep entwined most of the night.

    We're usually interlaced in someway and not one of us has a dominate side of the cheriot.

    jaysus....where's me hanky:rolleyes:

    That's not the way Mr & Mrs Firetrap sleep. I knew it! My parents are warped.

    Well I can only fall asleep on my right hand side so I have to sleep on the left facing out of the bed. She knows the score.

    I always prefer to sleep nearer the window if my boyfriends there. If he isnt I tend to sleep on the side nearest the door. Dont know why!

    Right side. I sleep on my right side so if I'm in a bed with someone I'd rather get a kick in the arse than an elbow in the face (if I slept on my left side).

    I sleep on the left side, or the side closest to the window if it's not my usual bed.
