    Another one of those things that I had never payed attention to because they seem so inconsequential, yet it just dawned on me that if I can have my way I always sleep on the right side of the bed. Dunno why.

    I guess this isn't much of a concern when you are single, but still, assuming you were in a relationship or had to share a bed with someone, which side would you be more inclined to sleep on? (even if you wouldn't mind sleeping on the other one.)

    It changes depending on where my bed is positioned.. but right now, I sleep on the left side.. or in the middle.

    Left, only because of where my bed is located. If it wasn't for the location, I don't think it'd matter which side.

    Really depends on where the bed is positioned. Usually I'd take the side closer to the wall, & if both are equally close to wall I'd probably take the one further from the door.

    Huh. That's an interesting logic. If I were to base my criteria on which side is closer to the wall or furthest from the door, I think I'd pick the side closer to the door or furthest from the wall. Mostly 'cuz I have the tendency of randomly waking up at odd hours, and it would be less cumbersome to get out of the bed without waking up the other person if I'm not between them and a wall.

    Not sure why but the right. If I wake up and need water or go to the bathroom I automatically go that way. I prefer to sleep on my left side but switch through the night. Visiting family or a hotel has left some laughs. Think your at home half awake and walk into a wall. Hahaha.

    I can only sleep on the left side of the bed as a force of habit. The position of the bed used to matter, but I've slept on the left side for so long that I can't break the habit and feel disorientated waking up on the right.

    My room is completely symmetrical, I virtually always sleep alone and by bed is directly in the middle of the room, so I don't know why I'm so devoted to the left side.

    Well it depends. I sleep against the wall (beds in the middle of the room? Who does that?!) so technically the right side, but if I'm in a hotel or something then I sleep pretty much in the middle.

    Whichever side is farthest from the door. I have this fear that some burglar will storm in and attack me but maybe they won't get to me as quick because I'm not by the door. I know, weird.

    I'll take the side next to the wall.

    If I'm working away and stay at a hotel with a colleague, then I'll grab which ever bed is furthest from the bathroom. I don't want to be breathing all their poo-fumes after they've taken a dump in there.

    When sleeping alone, the whole bed must be mine!!

    But when with someone (anyone- sister, parent, girlfriend, friend) I seem to sleep on the right

    I typically sleep on my right side, so I prefer to sleep on the left side of the bed.

    I always sleep on the side facing the wall. I have a phobia of the side facing my mirror, I don't know, just can't do it with feeling like i'll die in the morning

    Right side cuz it's better for cuddles, but probably the last option :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I don't care which side I sleep on.
    My bed is against a wall, so I prefer sleeping away from it, to the left.

    Dead center, taking up a ton of space. :lol:
    I'd be willing to make room to cuddle, though :wink:

    I sleep with my head in the top (aka end with headboard) left and with my feet in the bottom right. So yeah, I sleep on a diagonal :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Hahahah, funny you mention that, because I was considering adding the option "I sleep diagonally 'cuz I'm weird like that" while creating the poll.
