Your sleep position - who are you?

[Paul56]

I am a combo.... Soldier / Starfish.

Despite sleeping on my back, which is an apnea no-no, the machine controls
the apneas.

None really apply


But

Although I just put one pillow under my arm, and 2 on top of it - I may actually give in and try this one.

I kind of fall asleep like that too. My feather pillow is very old and well broken-in. I bunch it up under my head with my arm around the top, similar to the picture when I am sleeping on my side. But when I fall asleep on my back, I usually push it aside or flatten it out. In a motel room (if I forget my pillow), I usually use a rolled-up towel and sleep without a pillow.

My wife sleeps with two big, fluffy pillows under her head. I honestly don't know how she can sleep like that.

Soldier 70% of the time, the rest Yearner.

I started sleeping on my back more when i got a memory foam mattress. I used to sleep on a firm regular mattress.

A memory foam mattress creates a crater for your body to sleep in and its tough to lift yourself out of a crater on your back.

I'm not sure the investment in a memory foam mattress was a good idea but the decision to purchase one was made before i got sleep apnea.

I however have the Regenesis pillow which also holds my head upright in crater so my chin does not drop down to my chest when i'm on my back. I think that helps.

I"m a yearning fetal starfish, which sort of sounds like a character in an odd sci-fi novel. I also flop from one side to the other pretty frequently every night, depending on which joints are hurting. If it's not the knee it's the shoulder or the hip...

Out of those I guess freefaller would be the closest. Although I sleep with one arm under the pillow and supporting my head and over the last couple of years I've been squeezing a second pillow with the other arm. The description it completely off though. Hmmmm, never mind.

I often go between the falcon and the reverse falcon (same as falcon position, but turned on my back). Sometimes 'soldier'.

Long ago I believed the personality traits about sleep position, but now I believe the deciding factor is physical comfort, as in, can you breathe in that position?

[Patrick A]

Flat on my back. 99% of the time. In the RV sometimes on my side.

[CollegeGirl]

100% freefaller, and those personality traits are 100% me. lol

[Amigo]

I sleep in the missionary position. None of that fancy, kinky stuff for ME!!!

It wasn't on the poll.

Wow, your wife must be very understanding...and accommodating.

[Amigo]

Yeah......none of those positions specifically depict my sleeping position(s) either.
I'm a side-sleeper and my bottom-side arm tucks upward under the corner of my pillow and my top-side arm crosses my chest and my hand rests on the bed....

Pretty much describes my sleep position also.

I always knew we were special, Den.

Never really paid much attention.
Horizontal pretty much covers it.
BTW: how did this dusty old thread get to the top?

[portiemom]

100 percent Freefaller, due to spine and joint pain, not brash or nervy though, too much of a people pleaser,,, oh yeah that's me!!!

When someone votes...no matter how old the original post...it goes to the top.
