I'm Contending for the Most Mundane Just for Fun Question Award

If you are standing at the foot of the bed looking at the bed I am on the left side. Neither side has walls next to it. Troy steals all the blankets but denies it even when they are all on the floor next to him in the morning. How he rationalizes that I will never know.

He usually gets up before me and as soon as he is out I grab all the blankets and lop on my belly dead center. Best 20 minutes of sleep I get every night!!

Psh, who sleeps?

:(

Oh... this isn't mundane... this is Situation Worthy

- By the DOOR!!! :)

- Preferably left, but right if it has to be.

- Stomach!!! (the BEST thing about not being pregnant is stomach sleeping, 2nd best is crossing my legs)

- Ideally right arm over head under pillow and left leg hanging off the bed
(my right shoulder is busted, so for 6mo I've been sleeping 'backwards... with left arm and right leg)

((ahem, truly ideally is legs totally tangled in someone else's legs, and an arm flung over me))

NO FAN (this is a 10 year battle of mine, i lose)

* We each have our OWN comforter. An ex got me hooked on this concept, and I love, love, love it. Especially since my husband and I are polar opposites (oh in so many ways). He wants the thinest of "heavy" (as in weight, not heat... I made him a special quilt that weighs a ton, but traps almost no body heat) blankets and I want piles of down comforters. I'm not joking. I FREEZE at night.

But I poke my feet out.

:) :) :)

I'm on left. His choice.

Not against the wall (that would drive me crazy b/c I have to pee).

We each have a walkway to get to the bathroom and/or out of the room.

I don't like sleeping alone either but am an awful partner: hog bed covers, am restless (get up to pee, check on baby).

I move a lot. He moves like a banchie w/elbows that could take out the best UFC wrestler. I'm on high alert. ha ha

Once I had the baby, I am a light sleeper.
He USED to be hard, very hard sleeper. Has since now become light sleeper so if I snore, move too much he has a "in his sleep" fit.

Whoops. If I get too restless, I go out & sleep in living room w/the poochies for a bit. They LOVE It. :)

Mundane?
My tuckus!

Well, let's see. I have been a single mother for a long time so I sleep alone unless my son crawls in bed with me and yes, even at 16, he still does if he is sick or having trouble sleeping.
I quickly cure that by snoring louder than an alarm clock.
Now, I deny the snoring, mind you, but it must be true.
My son has proof.
A couple of years ago, he recorded me on his phone on a weekend and took it to school for his friends to hear.
Busted.
Well after the fact. And the laughter. I still say he recorded an imposter. That could not possibly have been me. I should be too delicate to be that loud in the state of slumber.
(Apparently not).

According to feng shui, it matters which direction a person faces as they sleep. I don't know for sure about that. All I know is that I wake up looking like I break danced, spinning on my head all night. When my daughter was in the first grade I believe it was, they were learning adjectives and describing words. The teacher told me when I went to pick her up one day that when she had asked the class to describe something ugly, without hesitation, my daughter answered, "My mom's hair in the morning."

I think I'm actually most comfortable sleeping on my left side. And, for me, at this time, that means facing west.
I dream like crazy. I have since I was a small child. And, I remember my dreams. Vividly. I always say that sleep is like going to the movies and I never know what I'm going to see. Also, I think it must be a testament to my personality in some way because I do have a sense of humor. I often wake myself up laughing my head off because some things just seem so funny to me. I'm that way when I'm awake. I'm that way when I'm asleep. The only time my dreams make me sad is that I dream constantly of people I love that have passed away. I honestly believe it's their way of "visiting" me. My dreams are so real, when I wake up, it's like realizing they are gone all over again. But in my dreams, we have a blast!
I wish I didn't dream about work so much because Lord knows, I have to pay enough attention in my conscious state.
I either don't move at all during the night or I'm all over the place.
I'm a cuddler. For sure. My son is the same way.
And he snores. Yet denies it.
I wonder where he got that from.....

I'm glad you asked this question and I will be thinking about you.
I know you'll miss your husband, but make what you can of it and enjoy your sweet slumber.

Sweet, funny, and happy dreams!

:)

I sleep alone except when my granchildren stay overnight. When it's my grandson I sleep on the east side of the bed. With my granddaughter it's the west side. The bed is in the middle of the room with floor on both sides.

When I'm alone I mostly sleep on the west side but if it's hot I move over to the other side for a cool spot. I sleep on my side, mostly my right side. I think it might be because my right ear still hears pretty good and so I block out noise that way. We have a cat and dog who both wander the house and make noise.

I'm told by my daughter and granddaughter that I softly snore. Drives them out of the room. lol My granddaughter has taken to sleeping in the recliner.

I remember some of my dreams. Mostly by the time I've finished my coffee the dream is gone. Most of my dreams leave me feeling good.

I like sleeping with someone. My ex didn't like to sleep with anyone and so we had a king bed and each of us had our side. :( I slept on the side closest to the door, the west side. His side was closest to the bathroom.

I sleep on the side closest to the door. I think my husband does this on purpose, if there is ever an intruder, I am going to be the first one to get it.
He swears this isn't true, but now my life insurance policy has been increased hmmmm. :)

I sleep either on my stomach or my side. For some reason or another lately I have woke up with my eye being pressed into my pillow. This means several minutes of blurry vision before it returns to normal. Weird.

Neither one of us like to be touched while we are sleeping. King size bed, big ol line drawn down the middle.

Can't sleep with my feet covered up...well that's not true. I can't sleep with my toes covered up, the rest of my foot can be. Therefor I win the all time abnormal sleep arrangement award.

You, my dear Ephie, could never be mundane!

I am sleeping alone tonight too. My youngest just finished his research for a paper due Friday, which means he has to crank it out tomorrow after school. And he has 2 tests on Friday. Not fun, but it's the end of the quarter.

So I'm ready to go to sleep, but saw your name. My hubby will be home Friday night. Thankfully we sleep together often, since his travel schedule brings him home more than it takes him away.

He is the blanket hog. And he snores, but not all night. He sleeps on the right- it's his favorite side. I sleep on the left near the window. I asked him just the other night why he doesn't like to sleep on my side. I found out that the reason he doesn't is the same reason I don't like my side of the bed - a little light comes through the wooden blinds, and it wakes me up. I used to sleep on my side, but since my surgery earlier in the year, it bothers me and now I sleep on my back.

I miss him when he's gone. I like snuggling up to him - it makes me feel loved and safe.

Sweet dreams to you tonight! Don't kick off the covers!

Dawn

I sleep alone and still sleep to one side of the bed. I don't know, but I've never slept in the middle despite being single for 5 years. I do prefer to sleep on the side closest to the door. I don't know why! I always sleep on my right side. I do remember my dreams and sometimes they are very vivid!!!

And I SNORE!!! I've woken myself up snoring!

I am a terrible blanket hog and so was my ex when we were together. We used to each have our own blanket. It was so much nicer having our own territory and not having to share and fight it out all night! :-)

I have always slept on the Left side...middle. Meaning I start on the left side but by the time I wake up I am normally somewhere in the middle.

We have a KING sized bed.....That tales up the width of our tiny room. I do have about a foot on the side of me where I can walk if I wanted to....Since we have the boys in with us though...We fill the gap with blankets, so if one rolls off they do not get hurt.

I am a side sleeper. Facing the right side normally.

I do sleep with my SO. But I can not STAND being touched when I am trying to fall asleep. I am not a cuddle person, unless it is with my kids.

I tend not to remember my dreams...They come back into the present through Deja Vu...Alot. It drives me nuts, because there is always that fine line between reality and a dream. I realize it now though and came make out the difference.

I can sleep else where very well if I am not at home. But if I am at home and I fall asleep out in the living rooom and wake up, I am always confused and hate it..So I make sure to never fall to sleep HARD anywhere but my bed...Unless outside the house.

fun question:)

6 months will go by fast...even though I do not sense any type of complaining in your voice:)

My wife has to sleep farthest from the door, she says, "so if anyone gets us, they'll get you first" ?!?! Really, lol. And she snores and hogs the blankets. She claims I snore from time to time, I think she's mistaken... Cuz I don't hear it. :)

I sleep on the left side, near the window. I like sleeping on all sides equally, though since im pregnant right now i opt for a side. I hug a pillow with my legs and arms and my bed is insanely comfy filled with high thread counts, down and satin (i even have a built in bed fan that blows cool air under the sheets during summer). Its a California king, when my husband is home from work he gets the right side when hes not my oldest daughter gets the right side and my toddler the middle. I remember almost all my dreams and i have advanced bruxism (i grind and crack my teeth in my sleep, it gets pricey)

If you are looking at the bed (from the foot) I'm on the right - always have been. We've tried to change it up but neither one of us can sleep on the other side. Currently I'm on the south side & closest to the door which is helpful since I get up with the kids. I prefer to sleep on my back but since I snore (or so he says) when sleeping that way I usually sleep on my side. When he gets up in the mornings though, if I'm sleeping in I scootch over to the middle & use his pillows :-)
Once you get used to sleeping next to someone it's so odd not to have them there, I understand that one! Hope you had a good nights sleep despite him being out.

I toss and turn all night long. I dont care which side of the bed I sleep on. I prefer NOT to snuggle because I feel trapped, like I am being held down. So, I do like to have the bed all to myself the 3 nights my husband works his part time overnights job. When we are in the bed together I like to be close but not too cuddled, as long as I can move easily. I sometimes remember my dreams, it seems to happen in groups. I wont remember any for months at a time and then i'll have 3 or 4 nights in a row where I will remember dreams. I am a blanket hog.
My husband and I are opposites in the sleeping department. He lays down, closes his eyes and 2 or 3 mintues later he is snoring. He never tosses, he may change position once or twice a night but that is it. He likes the middle of the bed or to hold me super tight and be all snuggly. Weird, because in pretty much everything else we are totally the same. funny.
