I always sleep on my right side in a fetal position. Sometimes i may be on my left side, but not often.

It seems a lot of people like to sleep in the fetal position. I prefer to sleep on my side.

I can't sleep on my stomach. It bothers my allergies too much, and seems to hurt my shoulders more than sleeping on my side does. But, I absolutely cannot sleep on my back.

Temd to sleep on my right side facing the wall these days. The mattress now is too soft, I miss my bed in the house that had the fire. I do prefer to sleep on my back and try to do so and on occasion I do manage to sleep that way. To go to sleep it is almost imperative to be on my right side facing the wall.

I prefer to sleep on my back ...but my back doesn't always agree with that ...so I try to use all three positions ...I had also read in here that sleeping on your left side would help with your heartburn so I have been trying to sleep more on my left side...but every morning when I wake up I am back on my back ...so even in my sleep I prefer my back ...

My side always, can barely sleep in any other position. I've heard that it's the best position too.

I prefer to sleep on my side because I rubb my feet together until I fall asleep and I stay that way all night.

I normally sleep on my side as i have a habit of holding my husband when i sleep so sleeping on sides is quite natural for that .

I always slept on my stomach until I got pregnant at which time I had to learn to sleep on my side or my back. My son kept his foot pressed into my right rib unless I was on my left side. So now I sleep on my side mostly, but I think I turn a lot and have even woke up on my back. I think I sleep on both sides and my back. I use record myself sleeping someday to see how I really sleep. LOL

I always sleep on my side/ I have a back problem and that seems the most comfortable position for me.

Well, I don't exactly have much choice anymore. I have a bad back, two bad knees and I injured my right shoulder last winter and it still isn't 100%. The only position I CAN sleep in, without pain, is on my left side. All other positions hurt and if I do manage to fall asleep in them, I wake up a couple of hours later in pain.

I prefer to sleep on my back unless I'm sick I tend to sleep on my side. I'm a night person so no matter how I sleep I never wake up really refreshed. but sleeping on my back makes me feel better when I wake up than if I sleep on my side.

I always sleep on my stomach. When I was pregnant and couldn't I had the worst time sleeping.

I start out on my right side, usually. Stay that way for an hour or so, have to go to the bathroom, and when I come back switch to the other side. I do that all night long. I figure that's when I get my daily exercise!

I sleep mostly on my back, but on occasion I sleep on my right side. I have even woke up laying on my back, with my knees up, almost like I was in a horizontal sitting position. My husband sleeps on his stomach most of the time or his left side.

I prefer laying on my back but I move from one position to another. It just depends. Sometimes I prefer laying on my stomach, sometimes to my side. Sometimes I want to hug my 2 year old. It changes from time to time. But what I really like is putting a pillow on my face while I sleep.

I prefer to sleep on my sides but my left side is the most comfortable. Maybe because the t.v. is on that side. LOL!
