Just wondering about the sleeping habits of the Escapist...

I start off on my belly, but I usually seem to wake up on my back.

Generally side then on my back.
Side is more comfortable but my guess is when I'm asleep I turn onto my back so I don't get a dead arm.

I usually start on my back, then move onto my side. I can't really sleep normally in my bed because I'm too tall for it, so I have to do it diagonally. 'S a bit difficult, really.

I start off on my side or front but generally wake up on my back.

I've been told by several people that I do all sorts of weird contortionist shit during the night though. I can sleep in pretty much any position (and in any place), no matter how uncomfortable or stupid. It's sort of my superpower :p

I pity any poor bastard who has to share a bed with me though...

Yeah, I find that tends to happen as well. The best laid plans just fall apart and I end up distributing most of the bed coverings around the room and sleeping like a prawn in a tiny fort. Or maybe on my arm, which does not thank me for it the next day. I usually have to smack the thing against a wall to get the feeling back into it. Ergh.

I always sleep on my side with my legs tucked up.

I find lying on my back awkward and lying on my front is just plain uncomfortable, stupid chest.

The only way I have ever managed to fall asleep is on my back.

Apparently my body does not accept any other method.

On my sides I crush my arm and on my front I crush my mandibles. Not good.

Um.... whichever way feels comfortable at the time? :p

I used to sleep on my stomach when i was young, cause then I could bury my face in the pillow and protect myself from evil creatures of the night... ehem..

Now, I probably sleep most often on my sides, though God knows what sort of positions you might find me in if you walk in after I've fallen even half asleep. Nothing's really out of the question and I've gone as far as to wake up completely facing the wrong way in bed in a strange position.

I'm weird because I love sleeping, I'm a good lucid dreamer, but I never want to go to bed unless I'm on the verge of passing out, and even then I rarely get more than 5-6 hours of sleep before my body wakes me up and I grovel in my bed for an hour or so.

I think 'on my girlfriend' about sums it up... it's a chore to get untangled every morning.

On my side for most part, or on my back when I can. Me and my boyfriend share a single bed sadly. So sometimes I just end up sleeping on him, which is nice because morning cuddles are great.

Curled up on one of my sides, usually.

Oddly, simply reversing the position from one side to another isn't as comfortable.

Sleep? What is this thing you speak of? I can't remember ever partaking in it... *twitch*

No, my insomnia's not that bad. [user]Beffudled Sheep[/user] has it so bad he hallucinates sometimes. Poor schmuck.

When I sleep it's usually on my side. I'm not really sure if I end up on my back. Would you believe I've never actually payed attention to how I'm positioned when I wake up? I think its on my side... or back... whatever way it tends to seem natural so I've never questioned it.

I have no idea, I go to sleep in the random position I lay down in and then I usually wake up in an even more random position... Oh the horrible mornings with no feeling in legs or arms!

I sleep on my side and push out my arse so my girlfriend has no room and then steal the blankies.

She needs a bigger bed XD

Does any such person still lives to tell the tale? :)

I love sleeping on my belly with my arms and legs spread out in weird angles. It's so comfy...

I also like sleeping on my side, but only if it's my left side. I have no idea why but I always find it more comfortable.

I sleep on my back. At night I move a lot, so I can wake up on my stomach, on my sides, or even sitting up.

...that happens a lot.

Would've been interesting, if you would've added the choice 'on the left side' or 'right side'.

I've heard somehwere (don't no where) that people sleeping on the side prefer to do that on the right side. That's due to the placement of our organs, it seems like sleeping on the right side makes them... I don't know... better placed?
Would've been interesting to see, if that's true.
