Sleep positions

[Alinestra Covelia]

I like sleep! But I can't always find it if I'm trying to sleep in an odd position. I like to sleep on my side, but then I get problems with air flow with my head turned to one side. But if I try to sleep on my back, then my spine and body feels weird, even though I've solved the breathing problem.

I had this one housemate who could sleep on his back. We were all jealous of him. Except for the other housemate, who slept in a predatorial crouching position with his eyes wide open and fully aware.

How do you sleep?

On my right side

in all positions basically. Usually on either side or back, try avoiding front. But I use them all. With gf, all except on my stomach. She says I sometimes sleep sideways, which is weird but she likes it (because it's weird). She says I sometimes hum when I'm sleeping, but nothing recognizable. That I make up tunes as I sleep and she has been awake few times when I'm going hmm humm hmmhm uhmuhm dididuu humh ummm ddede lalalaa. One time she woke me because she couldn't stop laughing.

That's me I guess.

On either side. If I'm sleeping with someone else, I face away from them. I'm the spoonee.

Mostly on my left side, but occasionally on my right. Very, very rarely, on my back, but I have to be basically sitting up. Never on my front. I have to sleep bent or my back will be killing me by morning, and it will take me a very hot shower, pain killers, and a few hours to function.

Before I got my CPAP machine, I had to sleep sitting up all the time. Apparently, my sleep apnea caused me to vomit slightly in my sleep, and if I wasn't sitting up, I would sometimes inhale it. Not anymore.

I was able to sleep on my back without any problems when I slept on a sleep number bed. It was wonderful, and I plan on getting one someday.

I think the correct answer would be: with lots of beautiful naked women beside me.

I sleep in the foetus but tilted slightly on my stomach. I don't know how rare that is, but it might be pretty rare.

Oh, and btw, my favorite position is none of the above.
It would be something close the yearner, but with left arm alongside my body and my right leg slightly folded to make a right angle. In this position, I am neither on my side, nor on my front, but something inbetween.

Where's the sleep with one eye open option?

Back or right side. Occasionally left side.

I'm usually a Soldier, but I'm a fetus if I have trouble sleeping.

Either way, the Right loves me.

I find it nearly impossible to initally fall asleep in any other position but on my back. But I spend most of the night on my side (usually right) or front.

Going by the picture, I flicker between a starfish and a yearner--but if I'm not on my back, I'm facing the closer wall.

I usually begin and exit the sleep cycles as a soldier, though--it's my understanding that I spend much of my sleep on my back, facing up, with my solar panels deployed.
