To all who say they toss and turn every night, try taking Melatonin a couple hours before bed. It knocks me out cold and I don't feel groggy in the morning.

100% full night sleep on my back with my arms crossed across my body like a corpose. I can nap on a couch on my side, but I can't sleep a full night in my bed like that.

I sleep best on my back but will sleep on my side to change it up 1 or 2 times a week. My roommate recently told me he only sleeps on his side to avoid sleep paralysis. Is there any truth to this? I have experienced it 2-3 times in my life, always while on my back but had no idea there was a possible correlation.

Sleep paralysis only lasts like 10-15 seconds and isn't a big deal. I mean, unless you're a little bitch or something.

I've been sleeping on my back more often lately, as I've found I'm more likely to remember my dreams this way.

Melatonin has helped me a lot with some minor sleep problems. I also gave me very vivid dreams.

80% side, 20% back. A lot of times I can only breathe through one nostril when I'm going to sleep so I lay on that side and it works like a gravitational breathe-rite strip.

Seriously, anyone dumb enough to believe people who crack spines deserves the worst sleep of their lives.

it's pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain cell that sleeping on your stomach is clearly less than great for your spine and neck.

sure, i suppose there is a way to engineer a neutral position on your front, where you somehow recreate a massage bed using tons of pillows. i'm also sure pretty much no one is doing that.

sleep paralysis isn't bad anymore because when it happens i know what it is and just wait it out and think about something interesting instead.

As a youth belly sleepy. When you sleep on your stomach - your usually off the pillow and yo head is parallel to ya body. Instead of on the cusion(s) in my experience.

Types of dreams? Not that I remember, it's been a while though. One thing I did notice was that I built up a slight tolerance in the month or so I used it. I think I went from 1 mg a night to 2.
