On back
on side
on stomach
I'm a rolling stone and have no 'tendency'
other. Explain below
I once read an article about sleep positions and it listed the normal stomach, side, back but also had some less common ones like 'fetal' (curled up in ball), 'sphynx' (face down with knees drawn up), 'swastika' (on side but with arms and legs splayed in all directions)
What position do you tend to sleep in? And what if you have a back ache?
People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor
Usually on my side, unless I am having a hard time getting to sleep, then I have to sleep on my stomach. I don't know why that works.
I am somewhere between side, stomach, and rolling stone.
In my dreams I am sleeping on my back.
When I can't sleep I toss and turn.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
From Kelly's Heroes (1970)
Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)
On my stomach....best dreams on my back but then I snore (or so I'm told)....we'll see.
A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
Start on side and then roll to stomach and stay there until morning.
Works for me...

Always on my side. I can't imagine sleeping on my stomach. How uncomfortable.
I fall asleep on my side and am on my back when I wake.
Prefer to sleep on my stomach. I can fall asleep on my back but it just doesn't seem right.
Me too. But, I'm always on the right hand side of the bed. If we're staying someplace away from home and Mrs. G gets that side of the bed I'm in for a long, tossing and turning nightOriginally posted by kms

Same here. There is an old saying: 'a king sleeps on his back, a rich man on his stomach and a wise man on his side'. Mrs. Maister says there's no wisdom in it for her, though, to sleep on her side because she always cuts off the circulation in her arms that wayAlways on my side. I can't imagine sleeping on my stomach. How uncomfortable.. I'm surprised at the number of stomach sleepers here, seems like the most uncomfortable position possible to me. You're either suffocating or twisting your neck off to one side. Talk about neck pain in the morning...

generally, on the side for me. But I can easily fall asleep on my back when I'm really tired.
I'm sorry. Is my bias showing?
"all of the above" for me. I start on one side, then switch to the other. Then I end up on my stomach when I get too hot after being curled up to the wife. At some point I end up on my back, where I do most of my dreaming.
For some reason I did not sleep very well at all last night.
Stomach sleeping makes my lower back ache. I hate falling asleep in that position. I'm almost always a back sleeper or side sleeper. Only on my left side though.
Dude, I'm cheesing so hard right now.
Side sleeper, with pillows tucked up under my neck and head, so I don't have a pain in the neck come morning. Can sleep on my back when I'm really tired, but I've been told I toss and turn more if I start out on my back.
"We do not need any other Tutankhamun's tomb with all its treasures. We need context. We need understanding. We need knowledge of historical events to tie them together. We don't know much. Of course we know a lot, but it is context that's missing, not treasures." - Werner Herzog, in Archaeology, March/April 2011
I fall asleep on my stomach but toss and turn so much through the night I can't realy pin point one position..(it usually invovles a little bitty foot in my rib or my head) The little ones have pretty much taken over my bed.
Since my should has been hurt I have been sleeping on my back...I wish I could sleep like that all the time because it does hurt my neck to sleep on my stomach with my head turned to one side.
I am definitely a side sleeper. I can always tell if during the night I slept on my stomach because my back hurts.

I usually try the side at first and end up that in the mornings mostly. But sometime I wake up on my stomach with my arm underneath me, completely asleep (the arm that is), I mean my arm has no feeliung or movement whatsoever... I wonder if that is bad.
You get all squeezed up inside/Like the days were carved in stone/You get all wired up inside/And it's bad to be alone
You can go out, you can take a ride/And when you get out on your own/You get all smoothed out inside/And it's good to be alone
-Peart
I generally have to contort myself into some odd position so I can fit into whatever space my wife, my son, and our two beagles have left on the bed. (Not all the time, but the bed does get crowded when she invites everyone onto our bed.)
Anyone else have to squeeze themselves into whatever is left?

I always fall asleep on my side, spooning against a big pillow (unless sleeping with the significant other!). Not really sure of the position when I wake up, because I am too busy slamming the snooze button on the alarm!
I did that when the kids were 2 and 4 (or something like that). Then we bought a king sized bed.
To elaborate earlier on what I said about my sleep position, I sleep in a 3/4 position, partway between side and stomach, with one leg straight and the other bent. I toss and turn from one side to the other during the night, replicating the mirror-image position when I turn to the other side -- ie when I lay partly on my right side, my left leg is bent and my right one is straight and when I switch to the other side, my right leg is bent and my left leg is straight. I think I sleep in that position because it puts the least stress on my respiratory system. I don't do well laying fully on my stomach nor fully on my side. I sometimes nap on my back but don't sleep that way during the night.
That is the more important question, left side of the bed or right side of the bed? Sleeping in a queen sized bed alone, no concern. I move around alot.Me too. But, I'm always on the right hand side of the bed. If we're staying someplace away from home and Mrs. G gets that side of the bed I'm in for a long, tossing and turning night
Others to ponder east-west alignment in the room or north-south?
Too lazy to beat myself up for being to lazy to beat myself up for being too lazy to... well you get the point....
Back sleeper only when I am "three sheets to the wind." Otherwise my night just spins.
One lot of redevelopment prevents a block of sprawl.
Oh, yeah. I know that feeling all too well. My son wakes up in the middle of the night, gets between us, then ends up with his head on my wife and his feet in my back. His stuffed dog is under my shoulder or against me neck. It is okay. I can sleep when I am dead
