I sleep on my right. But, according to chinese fong-shui, men should sleep on the left side. It has something to do with luck and health or something. Which side do you sleep, and why?

I sleep on the left, mostly because my bed is in a corner and I don't like being against the wall with someone on the other side of me, it's the only thing I get claustrophobic about.

I prefer beign against the wall. I feel more secure. But, that was before I got married.

Well, I don't know about the feng-shui, either. But apparently, ther is an explanation to everything we do. Thanks for response.

i like to sleep on the left side of the bed, but I role all over the place and can be in any position when I wake up. I hardly ever have a restful sleep.

So you're a roller? My wife's like that, too. She always ask why I sleep so close to the side of the bed. I just don't have the heart to say she rolls.

I sleep on the right side of the bed, simply because I don't have much of a choice:-( My little on makes it a point to come jump in the bed with us. Result: Me being pushed to the right side of the bed while she takes up the middle. LOL. She is so lucky she is daddy's little Angel.

Lucky you! Did you know that there is a Chinese saying that Daddy's little girls are your girl friends from the past life, that's why daddys' and their little girls get along so well. Thought I bring it up.

I sleep on the left hand side of the bed, it's just how it turned out! It was also the side that was easiest when it came to my partner having to start work early - him being closest to the door worked better for us & also, when our daughter was born, the bassinet couldn't really be put in the doorway if i'd been on the other side of the bed! I always heard that the males usually sleep on whichever side is closest to the door - not really sure why that is but it seems to be the case! I guess that also depends on how your room is set out & where you put the bed!

I agree iwth the set up of the room and also my wife goes to work earlier than I so she is closer to the door and bathroom.

I sleep on the open side of the bed so that my child can't fall down from bed.I have no space for such disbeliefs.

Child's safety first. I don't believe in superstitions, too. Unless it has happened to me before.

Normally I sleep on the left side of my husband as the wall fan and air-con are nearer to me. Under cool wind I can fall into a deep sleep.

I sleep on my right. I used to be a doctor, the heart is on body's left, so sleep on right is resonable for hemodynamics.

I sleep on the right side, only because it's closer to the bathroom and my sons room. Usually I have to get up once a night to go pee or because my son gets up. In my last house I was on the left side for the same reason.

I sleep alone so I practically can sleep in any part of my bed. However, I have this 'inclination' to sleep on the left side because my bed is attached to the wall in the left. I think I'm safer when I'm at the left side.

Same here. When I was single and sleeping by myself, I felt safer sleeping against the wall.

Cool! As long as you don't have a partner next to you.
