    Well I kinda used to sleep on the left side all the last years...In my former relationship, these days when I share the bed with my girlfriend and also when I'm alone. The left side is definitely my side! :icon_wink

    Any side of the bed is fine, but I'm a right side sleeper.

    If you'd look at my bed, it's the left side. =) My boyfriend sleeps on the right side. I sometimes do climb over him though to get to the other side, but that's usually when we're both awake. :lol:

    I have no preference however, it doesn't matter. =)

    I lay on my right side of the bed and lay on the right side of my body whether company is here or not.

    I have a single bed so center. In a hotel closer to the wall to start with. Or farthest from the door if that's possible. But I never stay haha

    I like to sleep closest to the door. Possibly my subconscious making it easier to escape in the night if needed?

    ... from like, a fire. Not from the other person that's in the bed- I'm not that kind of a guy!

    I can't figure out how to answer! It depends on the orientation I'm viewing it from: If I stand up now, and look at the bed, I'd have to say I sleep on the right side of it. But then, if I lay down, and am facing the other way, it's most certainly the left side.

    Depending on it's position in a room, I tend to sleep closer to a wall, or on the inside...I toss and turn a lot, and when I was maybe 8 or 10 I fell out of bed a few times in my sleep, and from an older antique bed in the farmhouse I grew up in, that seemed to be pretty high from the (wooden) floor.

    I sleep in a twin bed, but I sleep toward the left corner on my left side, kinda on my stomach. I sleep in a free-fall position. XD

    I sleep, feet attached to the roof of my cave. :lol:




    OK...seriously...it has varied. Basically, whichever side of the bed is nearest the reading light. Currently the light is to the right. But since I sleep alone :slight_smile:tears:slight_smile:, I can end up waking up in the middle or even sometimes the other side of the bed.

    Another complicating factor in times gone by: when I'd live with pets, they'd be allowed to sleep on the bed with me. One former roommate's dog could force me to the very edge sometimes. We had more than one conversation along these lines: "That is your half. This is my half. And--ulp!" [Pause to wipe face off that has just been licked by the dog.] "You stay on your side, and I'll stay on mine!"

    I sleep alone, so I sleep in the middle. However, I will wake up in either falling off my bed or really close to the wall my bed is up against.

    Hm, if I ever have a partner, we will buy two single beds.

    I sleep on the edge of the left side of the bed as my dog likes to sprawl out across the middle. Once, I accidentally rolled to the centre during the night, and she yipped until I woke up and moved back.

    However, when given the choice, I just prefer sleeping against the wall. The coolness against one's back is quite relaxing.

    Even though I sleep alone I'm nearly always on the right side, although I will sometimes wake up in the center. Oddly whenever I go stay over at my friends house she lets me have her room and then for some reason I always opt for the left.

    It works for this happy couple:

    Left side, since it's the side of the bed my custom made matress is on. But I do tend to roll over to the other side and ask to be spooned if I wake up during the night, since it helps me fall back to sleep. ^^

    I RARELY sleep on the bed, I usually sleep on our couch. Not because that we dont have enough bed, but I just like sleeping on the couch, mainly because it is in front of the TV. But when I sleep on the bed, I always sleep near the wall. I dont know why, but I feel a lot comfortable when my back is leaning on something hard.

    Top. But if I'm alone, right side.


    Just kidding. Right side all the time.

    I didn't vote because I always sleep closer to the door for some reason and in that case it could be left or right.
