    i replied to the last thread with this and my answer hasn't changed:

    am i weird for sleeping alright in like, any position?? i toss and turn until i eventually land on a position and then i sleep. sometimes it's back, sometimes it's stomach or side. i suppose sleeping on my stomach can be kind of annoying, but i make do with it.

    Literally can't sleep unless I turn on my belly. Tried plenty times to sleep on my back (apparently the healthiest position), but it's... uncomfortable??

    I'm a side sleeper. I can't sleep on my back because of this one annoying spring that jabs me (it's an old bed) and.. not to be crude but sleeping on my stomach, I've just got way too much boob for that lol.

    Either on my back or my left side, due to back/shoulder problems making every other position really unhealthy for me.

    i used to sleep on my back but then i discovered that was what was leading to my breathing problems a few years ago

    so since then i've slept on my sides and haven't had issues with that

    Side! Sleeping any other way when you have a hiatal hernia is impossible.
    Back = Painful bloating
    Stomach = Can't breathe

    i cant sleep comfortably since a month or so back
    in any position
    it's... starting to get a little worrisome. i barely remember what it's like to have a full night of good sleep. now i toss and turn every other hour or more. probably every hour. and wake up. yeah.
    and i prefer to sleep on my back usually but i can't do that now because it feels like i clench a nerve or something; my whole side freezes up a bit and i get a headache. it's really weird. maybe i should look this up...... i miss sleeping well.

    That sounds awful and of serious medical concern, to be honest. Sounds like terrible insomnia. Ugh.

    Can you get a sleep test? It's a bit annoying but may be helpful in diagnosis.
    I don't sleep well either.

    On my side facing a wall.

    Sometimes I fall asleep sitting up, but I can't do a full night this way and eventually adjust.

    I will sleep in any position randomly except on my stomach. I sleep on the floor with nothing but two blankets since I got tired of climbing up a latter just to get in a bed, so I made the floor my bed.

    I used to sleep on my stomach a lot more when I was younger because I'd play on my DS under the pillow. I don't do it as much now, but sometimes I'll sleep on my stomach. I usually sleep on my side now. I never liked sleeping on my back and whenever I tried, I'd end up rolling in a different position.
