When sleeping do you sleep on your side, back or front?
I sleep on my left side, I find it the most comfortable

I sleep on both sides, alternating till I fall asleep.

Halfway between stomach and a side. Switch sides occasionally. Don't know what happens after I go to sleep. Never remember how I wake up.

That's me, right there. I wake up after two hours having go to the bathroom, and as long as I go strait back to bed, I might get another two hours. When I was up then, I can't get back to sleep. Then I'm up for a few hours until I get sleepy again and go back to bed for the half of my daily dose of sleep. But something occurred to me this afternoon that might change that. Some of you may remember I talked about this thing on the Senior Forum.
I have this little gem at the foot of my bed in case I need it to get up off the floor. (I fall a lot.) I was writing about having inherited Cindy's hospital bed. It's a very comfortable bed, the only problem I have is getting out of it. After I wrote that, I moved back to get up and go to the kitchen, saw this chair by my bed, and it dawned on me... The bed is electric too! The cord on the control is rather short, but I dug it up and it works. So I laid down like I normally do when I sleep, and raised the head of the bed, and sat right up. No pain, no kicking for momentum, no tugging on the mattress, no "colorful metaphors" (that's for you Joe Riley), I can just get out of bed. I have to put it back down to sleep because sliding to the bottom of the bed drives me nuts. I constantly have to push myself back up. But the days of fighting to get out of bed are over. Yeehaw!
What happened? Why is the text so BIG?

I tend to mostly sleep on my left hand side with my hand under the pillow most of the time, I find that to be comfortable.

After all those nights in the hospital of sleeping on my back, now I have to. The only time I can sleep on my side if the first month or so after a successful ONB. If I'm in a lot of pain, I'm stuck on my back trying to sleep in a way I never used to be able to. So now I do it all the time, because if I sleep on my side at all, and get used to it again, having to switch back to sleeping on my back is a real pain in the petunias.
