Honestly I'll take any position that guarantees me 6 hours.

Do folks actually wake up in the position they fell asleep in? I would have no idea what my sleeping position is, but I guess I usually fall asleep on my side.

I'm prone to lie on my right side. Or is that lay on the left, I forget tbh.

Am assuming back is the most common sleeping position?

So, have we learned anything? Have you gotten the information you were looking for?

I used to do this and got shamed out by siblings and parents when napping. Maybe they thought I caught the ghey, who knows. Country Australia is/was a bit wild.

Now side for sure with pillow either at back or even occasionally for arms/hands. Having a forest of pillows helps for sure.

Fwiw I sleep with 2/4 blankets on my bed and depending on how hot the night is/breeze/general feel determines how I sleep. I had a terrible habit of "cocooning" with blankets from 16-25 that basically ruined me sleeping with a partner so now I have to sleep with separate blankets /doonas (same bed) as any partner.

As an aside, face full of a bedside fan is a must in November-March in Australia. Damn heat.

Just in case anyone didn't know, sleeping on your left side relieves pressure from heartburn/acid reflux.

What makes a mattress organic anyway, I get suspicious when I hear that word.

Which reminds me, I once had a college math professor from India who pronounced matrix exactly like mattress.

I usually prefer sleeping on my stomach, but flop from side to side, too. My husband mostly sleeps on his back -- I think that's from being a former Marine.

LOL. It's how he slept in his sleeping bag -- I guess prepared to get up and go at any moment.

i used to be a stomach sleeper for every single day of my life until i hurt my back squatting, had to learn to side sleep during my mid 20s. A big thing that helps a ton for side sleeping is putting a really thin pillow just above your hip. i end up with a pillow between my legs, a pillow on my side, and a pillow i fold up and hold on to. the side pillow helps with spine position and it really locks me in place during the night. used to toss and turn a ton but this helps me stay in a good position all night.

I snore pretty bad on my back. Not as bad on sides. I go to sleep on my side, but wake up on my back. Whenever I try stomach sleep, I wake up shortly as it cuts off blood circulation to my arms. Who does this?

Long way to go and a short time to get there.

I have now lost enough weight in my formerly pregnant-looking belly that I can now sleep on my stomach.

It makes my neck hurt, but I sleep that way purely on principle.
