What side of the bed do you sleep on?

What side do you sleep on?

Do you swap sides or stick to the same spot?

I sleep on the left at home, don't know why. Before we moved, I slept on the right. In our caravan, I sleep on the left because it's the easiest side to get out of if the kids wake during the night (right side is against the van wall). We don't swap.

Amuse me! I can't sleep in my bed tonight because it's too hot upstairs so we're sleeping on the couch downstairs and thinking about my comfy bed.

Right and don't really know why but now you have made me think about it I think it is because DH seems to always sleep on left. We just got back from hols and he slept on the left and if I think back. When we go on hols he always end up on the left. Mattresses in the living room for us tonight.

The right side of the bed. We did swap when I was preg so I could be closer to the toilet, and then once baby born was closer to the bassinet.. So swapped for 6 years. Swapped back a few months ago when we got a king sized bed and we had to do away with 1 of the bed side tables, so i needed the bed side table and alarm clock.

Left but that's just because I love to sleep close to a window.

If you are looking at the bed from the foot end, on the right. We never swap. Dh has always been on the left, and I have always been on the right, even when we were single lol

Always closest to the wall. Don't care which side that is. So we only ever swap when the room is different and the wall is on the other side. I feel safer that way. Whenever we are staying in a hotel, I automatically take the "safe side"

. Dh knows and always says: "i guess you're taking THAT side?" Haha

I'm weird. We'll have to change that once the baby arrives. There's no room on my current side for a bassinet. Le sigh...

Ps: if the walls are the same distance on both sides, I take the side furthest away from the door. You know. So dh gets stabbed first. I'm such a loving wife. Bahaha

He doesn't seem to mind being my human shield...

i'm awful.

I sleep on the left, DH likes to be closest to the door.
I sleep all over the bed though. I often sleep with my head at the foot of the bed or on DH's side. I'm lucky he's an understanding & patient man! Lol.

If you are looking at the bed from the foot, I sleep on the left. But as another poster said, I sleep furthest from the door and so in a hotel or whatever where I sleep depends on the layout!

**Joeve** · January 14th, 2014, 05:17 AM

I always slept on the right but once DD was born I moved to the left as there was more room for her bassinet on that side. Now she's in her own room I stayed on the left as it was closer to the door for her wakeups. It felt weird at first but I think I might stay there lol

I'm on the right in this house. DH wakes a couple of times a night to go to the toilet, whereas if no kids wake me I sleep through. So he's on the side closest to the toilet which is the left in this house, but was the right in our old house and is the right at the in laws, but the left at parents. It works out well because the opposite side is always the best side for the kids cot.

**Beautiful Disaster** · January 14th, 2014, 05:42 AM

If tour looking from foot I'm on left. Was like that before we met and has stayed that way. DH is closer to the loo but I can deal with that. Might have to change when I hit 36w lol

Bwahahaha I have had that same thought when we're staying in a hotel! I thought I was the only one!

**wysiwyg** · January 14th, 2014, 06:37 AM

Always on the right, I think due to DH preference rather than mine but not sure

**RainbowRiver** · January 14th, 2014, 06:39 AM

Looking from the foot, I'm on the right.... Closer to the toilet. I can never sleep next to a window.

Are sides swap depending where we are, but I always take the side that the loo is closest to, except if it's near a window lol

**AnyDream** · January 14th, 2014, 07:41 AM

I swap. I usually sleep furthest from the door, but it depends on the room.

**HotI** · January 14th, 2014, 07:44 AM

i must be the human shield cos i always go door side.

**Jahzara** · January 14th, 2014, 07:58 AM

Looking from the foot of the bed I am on the right. Never swap sides.

**TaRhLi.** · January 14th, 2014, 08:15 AM

I sleep on the right (left side if looking from the foot of the bed) always have and when I was pregnant it worked perfectly as I used to always sleep on my right side which meant my belly was close to the edge - which was essential with the twins as I had PUPPS so used to sleep with my belly uncovered to try and keep it cool and stop the itch.

I now 90% of the night sleep on my right side so face outwards, I can't stand sleeping in towards the middle of the bed or having someone touch me when I'm asleep so being on this side means I can sleep my preferred way and also creep across to the edge if my personal space gets invaded
