How do you sleep?

[Voland]

Literaly, how do you people sleep? The posture i mean.
Every night I try to find a comfortable posture that can give a good 7 hours of sleep. But I fail to find the best one. Some make my arm numb, others hurt my shoulders joint or ribcage.
So which one is the best for you?

[RuhlFreak55]

i think by the time i wake up the vast majority of the time i'm just laying flat on my back

[KatsMeow]

In a ball, like a baby....with lots of medication.

[BadBarbie]

spoon style with a pillow between the knees =)

[Panzerfaust]

^^^I don't keep the pillow between my knees though.

[smokeyd]

usually stomach with pillow under my left arm and right arm under the pillow my head is on

[Kratos]

poorly with wicked dreams, I'm on tren...but on my back/or side, if on my side than with a pillow between my knees so i don't crunch my nuts, rarely stomach. People have told me I stop breathing sometimes, I wanted to do a sleep study and find out more.

[ilovesus]

If iam beat and really tired ill fall asleep in any position

[wantmoremass]

usually fall asleep on my left side, wake up on my back. i can't sleep on my stomach anymore, it causes my lower back to hurt a bit. on your back is the best place for your posture, just sucks if you snore though.

when i feel especially lonely i'll hug a pillow and imagine it's my beloved

[hotpink]

I usually sleep on my side curled up or sometimes on my back with one leg up as far as it will go haha

[Voland]

In a ball, like a baby....with lots of medication.

what are you taking? Does it work?
I'm currently using Tepazepan which is like a combo of diazepam and some other components, after lorazepam and alprazolam pre-bedtime failed. It works kinda ok but not great.

I know that feeling lol.

[Voland]

So after reading all your info it made me feel so...normal LOL
1. I though I was a weirdo for putting a pillow between my legs
2. I'll try this tonight: on my right side, right arm under the pillow with the elbow FLEXED and palm out as to avoid sleeping over my arm thus preventing that numbness. yeaaah that HAS to work. haha

[Amorphic]

at least 5 or 6 different positions through the night as it takes me forever to fall asleep.

[Bio-boosted]

I sleep like a baby since i got a new matress. On my side, but i wake up on my back.
Couple of weeks ago i woke up in the bath (drunk mind)

HOW DO YOU SLEEP ?


You may not achieve the comfort levels and sleep position you are used to in your bed at home, but look around the cabin next time you fly to see the many different positions we adopt (or try to !) whilst asleep.


Scientists believe the position in which a person goes to sleep provides an important clue about the kind of person they are.


So .... what does your sleeping position actually say about you ?





Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the UK Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service analysed six common sleeping positions - and found that each is linked to a particular personality type.



What your sleeping position says about you ...

Foetus

Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax. This is the most common sleeping position, adopted by 41% of the 1,000 people who took part in the survey. More than twice as many women as men tend to adopt this position.


Log

Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.


Yearner

People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.


Soldier

Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.


Freefall

Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.


Starfish

Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention.


The remainder of those in the poll said the position they fell asleep varied or did not know.


Professor Idzikowski also examined the effect of various sleeping positions on health. He concluded that the freefall position was good for digestion, while the starfish and soldier positions were more likely to lead to snoring and a bad night's sleep.


Professor Idzikowski said "Lying down flat means that stomach contents can more readily be worked back up into the mouth, while those who lie on their back may end up snoring and breathing less well during the night. "Both these postures may not necessarily awaken the sleeper but could cause a less refreshing night's sleep."


The research also found that most people are unlikely to change their sleeping position. Just 5% said they sleep in a different position every night.

Dude wtf. How can you stay in one position?

Its different every night, before I fall asleep I switch positions prob like 15 times before I pass out, and then another few times when I'm sleeping. (just guessing when I wake up in crazy positions)

I also notice no matter how I fall asleep, I always twist my body in ways it shouldn't during the night and wake up with problems no matter what. My elbow has been killing me for like 3 days because I woke up with it twisted under my chest. Oh and I always flip my pillow like every 5 mins to keep it cool, I can't fall asleep if my pillows warm, I hate it. Why I always sleep with a fan right by it.

[Jfew44]

On my side, but wake up on my back starfish style. Might try the pillow between my knees although it wont stay there. Everyone I've ever slept with says I'm a pain in the a** because I move around so much.

[Prada]

I sleep on top.

[Amorphic]

I sleep on top.

[Rugger02]

I usually sleep on my side curled up or sometimes on my back with one leg up as far as it will go haha

Oh my...

[KatsMeow]

what are you taking? Does it work?
I'm currently using Tepazepan which is like a combo of diazepam and some other components, after lorazepam and alprazolam pre-bedtime failed. It works kinda ok but not great.

Narcotic pain killers due to chronic back pain, a full bar of Buspar, Fexeril, and OTC sleep aids.

I'm actually all over the place when I sleep I can't get comfortable and my mind doesn't stop racing until the meds kick in, after that I'm dead to the world for a few hours.

[gst528i]

On the stomach, with hands under pillow and head to right side most of time drooling.lol ....
My ex hated it when she rolled over to my side and puts her face in a puddle of slime lol hahha.. funny thing was she never learned.

[gst528i]

sorry hit post twice.

[PT]

wow i fall asleep easily every night ans wake up 6 hours later in the exact same position. i always sleep flat on my back

[xavier_888888]

I fall asleep on missionary position! LOL

[testigator]

usually fall asleep on my left side, wake up on my back. i can't sleep on my stomach anymore, it causes my lower back to hurt a bit. on your back is the best place for your posture, just sucks if you snore though.

This is me exactly. I wake with a numb arm most days. I don't know how to not have a numb arm when I am laying 230 pounds on it...OK so the weight is distributed but you get the idea. Back is the best but I will snore and that wakes me up. I haven't gotten more than 6 hours straight since I was 25.

[stpete]

On my stomach with my head turned to the left, and my left arm on top of a pillow. Wake up 5 or 6 hours later in the same position.

[BuffBuffalo]

A little off topic but have any of you ever fell asleep after sex and still been inside? I have a couple times. The next day me and the g/f would laugh about it. Kinda neat though.
