Sleeping Positions.

[Dena]

I sleep on my side in the last 5% of the bed.  My dog takes up the other 95%  it sounds weird but he tries to lay right next to me, so if I move a little over, so does he.  Eventually I'm at the edge of the bed with no place to go.  I usually have a pillow under my head and one over my head, sometimes one between my legs, and behind me.  I get cold and lonely, pillows help.

I can think of two ways to solve the problem. The first is to roll over on the dog. If you don't have the heart to do that, the other alternative is to install a bundling board.

I'm a pushover for my dog.  I am even learning to knit so we can have matching scarves and hats.  Yes I am that kind of owner.

I most of the time sleep on my back or left side. Sometimes I wake up sleeping on my belly.

Sorta depends upon how many are in the bed with me.
If alone, I start on my back and wake up anywhere, right side, left side, curled into a ball.
If with others, I often end up tangled like a batch of puppies!

I also sleep on my side too, Bari Jo, sans dog though. I use 4 pillows too. One for my head, one small one beside it for propping my lower hand and arm up to be comfy. The 3rd is a body pillow that I cuddle (would welcome a living body as a substitute) and the last is on my upward chest side and body pillow to support my upper arm. My electric blanket warm up my bed (again would happily substitute and living body) then I turn it off before going to sleep at which time I roll over onto my back and wake with the pillow under my head and another on my chest.

On my belly with NPR/BBC on the radio in the background. When my breasts were tender I would sleep on my side but they stopped hurting when I was off hrt for gcs in September and haven't started back up again since.

I toss and turn until sleep comes down but usually wake up on my belly facing the wall, probably because that's the side my snugly pillows are on

I use to fall asleep watching the TV in bed but the management decided it wanted extra $$$ for my bedroom cable box so I turned it in, another broken promise by them  😛

Sometimes I fall asleep on the coach watching TV in the living room or in my computer chair, then I wake up half disorientated and wonder off to bed

Usually on my side with my knees slighlty bent lol yes it's specific because I read that's the best way to sleep... I always slept  this way anyway. I just stopped sleeping on my stomach (which I miss a lot) because apparently is causes dark circles and I don't need any more of that!

This is how i sleep too, also my left arm under the pillow, pillow resting on my neck

Years ago I slept only on my back, but that was because I slept on a sleeping bag on the floor (couldn't afford a bed), and sleeping on my side was uncomfortable. Now I mostly sleep on my side with my legs slightly bent, like others here.

I sleep on both sides, or whichever side allows my sinuses relief.

Side or stomach. When I'm on my stomach I usually prop at least one hip bone up with one of my arms/hands to keep my lower back happy. I can get pretty comfortable in a mummy bag and bivvy sack that way, even though I can't for the life of me fall asleep on my back.

I have some problem with sleeping where I think I'm falling if I don't feel "stable" and will wake up. There's only a couple of positions that feel stable.

I had that sort of thing for a while a good number of years ago, and bad. Could only sleep on my belly, with my legs slightly apart to lay as flat on the mattress as possible. If i didn't I could swear it'd feel like I'd fall off my bed.

Sleeping, ahhhhhh.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea years ago but the CPAP's were so cumbersome that I refused to get one.  Then after a few years of waking up and having to slam myself against the wall because I woke up not breathing, I gave in and obtained a CPAP machine.  Now, as far as sleeping.  If I'm on the sofa, I can doze up lying on my back or even in the recliner that way.  But in bed, it has to be on my side, in the middle of the bed with a pillow between my legs and on against my chest.

Now, from what I have read so far, I have to learn how to sleep all over again once the HRT kicks in 🙂

Hopefully, this wasn't TMI 🙂

I sleep in many positions, but I seem to enjoy being a tummy sleeper, with my arms up under my pillow.

I can't wait to see how I will need to sleep once I'm on hormones.

On my left side stretched out like a cat. I wear a sleep mask to shut out light & silicon ear plugs as it gets noisy with wind & rain this time of year
