    I'm curious, how do my fellow EC members sleep? What position do you sleep in? Do you have a special routine in order to goto sleep? Do you toss and turn, or sleepwalk?

    I mostly sleep on my side, fetal position. I love sleeping on my stomach but I never stay that way for long. If I'm over tired I can sleep pretty much anywhere and anyway. I've fallen asleep standing and sitting, even hanging half off my bed!

    Also it's not a necessity to sleep but I like to hear sounds like rain as I go off to dreamland.

    I sleep on my left side. Strangely it's the only way I can get comfortable enough to sleep unless extremely tired.

    Normally on my right side. I also love completely wrapping myself in a blanket whenever I can.

    I also sleep on my side in the fetal position! And I stick both hands under the pillow.
    Don't really have a special routine. Well, actually I have to check the closet and under the bed for murderers. :lol: I really do.

    If I am feeling relaxed and well, I sleep flat on my back. If I am feeling stressed.. on my side and rolled up!

    On my left side with my arm under the pillow in a fetal position. For a few hours anyway. My poor shoulder. It is my comfort position and I toss between left side and right and back usually close to morning. Then give up because I can't sleep and start bitching to myself. Hahahaha

    I usually sleep on my left side or flat on my back, but I toss and turn and have woken up in every position imaginable.

    I switch between a weird sideways starfish and a dropped burrito.

    I twist and turn so many times I don't know. When I was younger my mom said I would be on my back with a knee sticking up.

    I generally fall asleep and stay asleep on my left side, i'll occasionally wake up sleeping on my stomach. I have my laptop on watching Netflix/youtube and a bottle of water next to my bed.

    I move around so much that I can't say for certain, but I'm pretty sure I usually fall asleep on my left side, facing the wall.

    My dog has been sleeping on my bed recently though, and she's quite a big dog so I end up kind of curling around her (because she's my baby and no way am I kicking her off!).

    I generally sleep on my right side with my right arm under the pillow. Despite this, I often wake up on my back, but I never go to sleep on my back. Lately I have been having some knee pain, so I wonder how it may be related.

    As for a ritual, I don't have much of one other than that I often read shortly before bed. It tends to relax me and put me in a "ready for bed" mood (as long as I don't start nodding off while reading). I also prefer to have an air filter running as white noise.

    Not entirely sure as I toss and turn a lot and fall asleep and don't attention to the position I am. I for sure sleep on my back though. I think people that sleep on their stomach are weirdos xD

    And yes I do sleep walk. I can have full on conversations with people and not recall them. I've even played the piano at 2AM in my sleep.

    I sleep on my stomach, without a pillow (I rest my head on my hands). I prefer to have some noise in the background, like cars going past or parents chatting downstairs. I always sleep with socks on.
