Friday poll... sleeping position

[Twoboos]

What's your preferred sleeping postition? And by sleeping I mean... sleeping. :wink2:

ETA: I am all about the stomach. I did left side while PG. But I really think this gave me a wrinkle on the left side of my face. (No, my sneering could not possibly have done that!)

A day or two after I gave birth to both DDs I made sure I laid on my stomach in the hospital for a little while. It was lovely. And while PG at the beach I would dig out a hole for my belly and lay on my stomach.... heaven.

[scrooks]

I :heartbeat: sleeping on my back. After I had both kids I can still remember those first few tired but gloriously comfortable nights on my back in the hospital. I missed it soooo much!

I do switch to my sides sometime and admit I can't ever imagine sleeping on my stomach. I don't know why.

[BabbyO]

I almost always have to fall asleep on my left side. I do occasionally roll on to my right side...and even less frequently onto my back. The last time I slept on my stomach I was probably in my crib (cause you know back then, it was advised to put us on our stomachs).

[lchang25000]

I always fall sleep on my side...not sure what other positions I'm in when I'm alseep though!

[boolady]

I'm a side sleeper, but I don't discriminate between sides.

[sariana]

I voted right. Sometimes I start on my left side, but I almost always roll over.

I usually wake up on my back, though. I don't like to fall asleep in that position because it increases the likelihood that I will wake up "frozen," that is unable to move (and sometimes breathe). I hate that, so I try to avoid falling asleep on my back.

I cannot sleep on my stomache. I sleep mostly in my back, though very occasionally I will wake up on my right side.

I sleep on my back or sides. I used to sleep on my stomach when I was a kid, but I get a sore neck if I do that now. So, I voted other!

[luckytwenty]

I used to be a stomach sleeper but since we got a Tempurpedic bed, I sleep better on my back. I am soooo glad not to be pregnant anymore. I couldn't get comfortable at all the last few months!

[lizzywednesday]

I'm a back sleeper, though I slept on my left side while pregnant ... and currently sleep on my left side because DD is in our bed.

[pinay]

I go back and forth between my back and my left side. Sleeping on my stomach just doesn't seem comfortable- gives me a crick in my neck!

[wellyes]

I currently have a six month old I'm nursing through the night so I'm always on one side or the other. We don't cosleep, but somehow by 2 a.m. he's always there.

I prefer belly sleeping.

[s7714]

When not pregnant I'm definitely a back sleeper. I hate sleeping on my sides!

[momm]

I'd LOVE to sleep on my back but constantly sleeping on either side because I'm nursing and we co-sleep

[LarsMal]

I used to :heartbeat: sleeping on my stomache, but since having kids it kills my back. I mostly sleep on my left side now, but sometimes on my back.

[misshollygolightly]

Used to sleep on my tummy, but since my first pregnancy I've become a committed "tangled-up" sleeper. I sleep mostly on my side, but with my arms and legs wrapped around DH or...more often...my body pillow. (DH isn't nearly as squishy and comfy as my body pillow, and he complains because I put my knee on his stomach! Whiner.)

[gatorsmom]

I am extremely good at falling asleep. it really doesn't matter what position. I can be sitting up in a car going around sharp corners and still fall asleep. It's a gift!

But I prefer my stomach.

I find it really interesting that as I type, stomach is the preferred sleeping position amongst pollsters. I thought that was the least preferred. Not sure why I thoguht that.

[tmahanes]

I am a definite stomach sleeper (with on knee up and out to the side). The side sleeping was definitely the WORST part of being pregnant. Even worse than the nausea.

I threatened to carve out a hole in our mattress so I could sleep on my stomach!! :ROTFLMAO:

[JElaineB]

I switched to sleeping on my left side when I was pregnant 9 years ago and haven't been able to change since.

[salsah]

i fall asleep on my sides, switching back and forth until i fall asleep. but i always wake up on my back. being pregnant was torture!

[bigpassport]

Fall asleep on my stomach and usually wake up on my stomach, but I know there's a lot of flipping around in between.

[bigpassport]

That IS a gift! I'm jealous. I can't fall asleep anywhere but my bed and most nights have trouble with that!

[DietCokeLover]

I fall asleep usually on my left side, but that's because that is the direction of the tv and I usually fall asleep watching the news or Leno. I much prefer my right side though and wish there was a way to move the tv!

[blue]

I have to be on my right side to fall asleep, but in the morning I wake up in the oddest positions with the covers all twisted.

On a related note, I have always wondered if other side sleepers prefer to sleep on their non dominate arm like I do (I am left handed).
