Back, side, or belly sleeper?

[Lorntroubles]

Side is uncomfortable to me. I am a back sleeper and belly is nice too but I still flip over in my sleep. What's your preference?

Front ideally but I can't anymore for practical reasons so it has to be side or back. Back can be a problem due to post nasal drip but I've gotten used to it. So mostly side these days.

Drunken yoga is my preferred method. Wake up feeling like a million pennies!

When drunk I used to sleep in the kitchen spread eagle with a stool balanced on my chest. I could be found there every Monday night at uni. My flat mates just ignored me.

When I was younger, it was either belly or back, now only back.
However, left side is the best position and I'm trying to adapt to it. Left side prevents stomach acid from leaking into mouth and intestines while right position makes it leaks easily to both sides. Belly isn't good and can hurt the body specially neck and back. Back is a good standard position that depends on external stuff like pillows and bed more than the position itself, however, it can't solve problems like acidity.

Best position: Left
Neutral/good: Back
Bad: Right and belly

I don't know how I sleep. I never pay attention to my position when I wake up and I've never had sleeping problems. I fall asleep within a few minutes when my head hits the pillow.

I do like having a lot of pillows though, I have 4 pillows right now.

Sleep? What is thing you speak of? The 3 hours I do get, Im half belly half side, (i use a blanket to put me in that postion)

side - with about 3 pillows and another pillow over my ear.. what a weird way to sleep

I prefer to hang from the ceiling like a bat.

Stomach sleeper mostly, but I nap on my back. When I'm cold I curl up on either side.

Back! I used to be a side sleeper since I was a kid... but ever since my opiate addiction sickness I can only sleep on my back. It extremely uncomfortable on any other position, feels like the top half of my body is crushing the bottom half when on my side. I don't move or toss and turn, I move my limbs and head but that's it. It took years to get it right, finally I can sleep without pain!

I'm like a piece of meat and constantly switch from left to right all night like a rotisserie chicken.

I always sleep on my left side.

 

[Woodnote]

I'm a belly sleeper.

 

[Lorntroubles]

@Luchs left side more bearable to me. Right feels "off".

 

[Pryras]

I'm a belly sleeper. Breasts don't get in the way bc I have none

 

[Green Destiny]

I sleep on my back and side when i'm going to sleep. In the mornings when I wake up i'm usually on my belly though.

 

[Fragile]

i've never been able to sleep on my back unless i'm black out drunk.

so always in one of my sides, with a pillow between my legs and some sort of white noise for my tinnitus.

 

[Lorntroubles]

Nice responses, everyone! Sleeping is so private yet so innocent I figured I write this post to learn about you all.

Side sleeper. I mostly sleep on my right side and cuddle a soft animal, pretending that it's my bf xD. I'm not sure why but sleeping on my side makes me feel more secure.
