    Looking from the foot of the bed, im on the left. Generally because I get up to dd during the night and am the first to wake up/get woken by dd.

    Always the left. I can't sleep on the right, feels strange!

    I sleep on the left even though I mostly (sometimes I have a little kidlet sneak in) sleep alone. I totally could spread across the whole bed but I don't. Weird.

    Left, always. Once we stayed in a hotel and just crashed into bed after a wedding. It just happened that it was the "wrong" side but we were too tired to move. We ended up having the worst night sleep (well pre-kids lol!) because we kept hitting each other and waking up.

    Honestly depends on who is in the bed. When it is only me, I'm in the middle and I starfish.

    Re: What side of the bed do you sleep on?

    I sleep away from the window, I always think that someone (or zombies) will come through the window. So effectively DH is my human shield for knife wielding window entry. When we moved house I swapped sides to be away from the window. Fortunately this means I'm closest to the ensuite - handy for that middle-of-the-night-pee

    Re: What side of the bed do you sleep on?

    Im always furthest fron the door, so in our room its on the left but will change depending on where we are. I just like the idea of dh being closest to the door in case of intruders etc.. it does mean I have to walk further which can be a pain with getting out to see spock. But still rather my big strong man protecting me

    As an extra my grandma use to always sleep on the left of grandfather because it meant she was closest to his heart.

    DH picks the side closest to the most likely external exit (external door, then window in that order). So he can get stabbed/eaten by zombies first.

    It's the little things that say "I love you."

    (I prefer to sleep on the right side, which I currently have, but cede to DH's wishes otherwise.)

    Re: What side of the bed do you sleep on?

    I sleep on the right, DP on the left. When we first moved in together it was the opposite way because I wanted to be closer to the ensuite. We switched when we used a different bedroom in that house, and have never switched back. I can't do it.... I just can't sleep on the other side.

    Whenever we move/rearrange I always set it up in a way that I have a clear path to whatever I need. Door, Baby, and so on.

    We often fight (playfully) over the 'snuggle side' of the bed. If the TV is more on my side of the room then I'm on the snuggle side because he has to spoon me to see the tv. and vice versa. He always ends up on the snuggle side. Somehow. lol

    I have slept on the same side for as long as we've shared a bed. Coming up to 18 years. I sleep on the right.

    Re: What side of the bed do you sleep on?

    I'm always on the right...not sure why, but I think it's because the left has always been closer to the ensuite and DH gets up for work at 4:30am and I don't want to be woken by the shower. Because the additional 1/2m makes All the difference to the noise level!

    We don't have a zombie/intruder proof side because it's the quilt/sheet that protects you from bullets and knives, not what side of the bed you have (and why I MUST always sleep with something pulled right up over me)...Derrr, doesn't everyone know that?!
