Title: HOW DO YOU SLEEEP?
Post by: watsisname on September 21, 2010, 08:18:29 pm
A silly poll for a serious question.  I've always been kind of curious as to which postures were more common.

As for me, I alternate between my right/left side -- it feels too weird to just sleep on my back.  Maybe I should see a doctor. D:

whenever and however the fk i can.  right up to slumped over in a nasty, beat up armchair inexplicably present in the dungeon we call the nuclear lab with my head inches away from a hot soldering iron. 

when i'm actually in a bed, there is no normal.  sometimes left side, sometimes right, sometimes back and even stomach though that's not terribly comfortable for long.  sometimes even curled up in a ball or sideways with my ass on the edge and my legs hanging off.

so i voted for levitate.

My psychiatrist gives me every possible drug before she will give me sleep medications. I guess sleep drug makers don't give her nice enough pens or something.

I suffer badly from insomnia, can never keep 'normal' hours, and sleep fitfully when I do.

On my back, I feel like my ribs are getting compressed if I sleep on my side.  The only time I'll sleep on my stomach is on the onset of a cold, it keeps all the sinus **** from sliding down my throat and spreading.  This way I always keep it contained until Airborne/Zinc/Lysine and my immune system pound it into submission.

I'm a spineless, wishy-washy, flip-flopper! Sometimes I fall asleep on my back, but I've noticed a strong correlation between that and having one or both of my arms fall asleep (in my sleep) and then wake me up (except not my arms) and then I gotta bang 'em together to get the blood flowing again. Weird stuff.

having witnessed firsthand what ambien does to people, i can't believe the FDA hasn't banned it.

whatever position is comfortable for the cat(s) that usually end up using most of the bed.

I get to sleep late enough that it doesn't matter, and that I don't recall what position I end up in before I fall unconscious.

Naturally, voted for the "what is sleep?" option.

It just makes me fall asleep.

If it does anything else...

I swap left and right depending on what is comfortable. After I'm asleep I must do somersaults because when I wake up I could be in any direction or orientation.

it makes people trip SERIOUS balls.  the girl i was more or less supervising after taking it went on and on about "wall parasites," thought she was a wooly mammoth, found a panda on the floor (was a spot of hardened gum) and swore at it, saw an alien landing pad outside and helped the "parasites" get to it by wedging a soccer ball between the blinds and the window, climbed up on top of furniture (and got violent when i tried to stop her), went on numerous "trips" (closed eyes and was still for about 30 seconds), like to the tombs in the pyramids, and tried to remove my arm and leg hair with one of those hair clip things.

and this is all without the added effect of alcohol, which she will get into when unsupervised.

Hmmm, reminds me of DMT except without the feeling of having your brain getting hit by lightning.
Clearly I need to try this wooly-mammoth stuff -- sounds like an adventure. :lol:

I sleep like this: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Always wanted to do that.  :lol:

I'm a flopper. Can't sleep on my stomach though, it makes me drool all over the pillow, and it's really uncomfortable to wake up in a cold puddle.

I always start on my back for a few minutes. Roll over to stomach for a bit, then flip to back again. If all goes to plan, I pass out then.

'Course, things aren't always that simple, but what's a guy to do?

My sleep position varies. That includes levitating. In my mind. :P

On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful ladies!

Position-wise, I can only sleep on my back. For some reason, lying on left or right side blocks my nasal passages. I use those to breathe, so that's no good!

I can only fall asleep on my right side, with the blankets cinching my arms up to my chest.

That said, I'm insomniac anyways, so I gotta take pills.

I usually fall asleep on my back, but wake up either on my stomach or on either side.

I've been told I sleep like the Tasmanian Devil on a bad acid trip.

Considering I've woken up with my feet on my pillow and my head hanging off the edge of the bed, I cannot dispute this.   :P

I actually tend to sleep tilted rather than properly on my side, the result of being a cuddle fiend.

I've been known to do this.  The best one was when my legs were still on the bed, while my head was on the pillow which was on the floor. :wtf:

I took a nap this evening for about 40 minutes. I slept on my right with my cellphone in my right hand (because I was waiting for a return call and felt tired). 40 minutes later, I was sleeping on my left, and I wasn't holding my cellphone. I woke up just as it hit the floor. :lol:

Funniest thing I've ever seen was over in my broman's basement, friend of his had too much to drink and smoke and was pretty much in zombie mode.  He sat on the edge of the bed and nodded off, and every few seconds would start leaning forward to the point of nearly falling off and landing on his face.  Somehow he always managed to avoid this by flailing wildly just as he lost his balance.

This continued for several minutes while the others in the room watched in amusement.  Finally I told him "Dude, why don't you lie down for a bit?", to which he replied "I AM lying down!"  :mad2:

I lol'd. :lol:

Left, mostly, sometimes right. On back = stay awake, as for on stomach...

If I can't get to sleep: "I toss and turn like a spineless dirtbag cat in a tumble drier."

Could be because I always used to sit in the seat on the left side of the car when I was younger? Now I sit in the driver's seat  :p

So it depends if she's on my left or my right.  :D

Alone:

Sleeping on my belly. Sometimes on my left or right. Never on my back (only if I get forced to do that... anyway...). But mostly on the belly :nod:

My blanket is often turned upside down the next morning - god knows why.
