1. It used to be the right
Now it's the left...my monkeys get the right side.

2. The top side.
It's kind of hard to sleep on the bottom. :P

17. Hi, Lizziegrace!
:hi:

Do you want to hear some good news?

I've regained some of the use of my hands. The medication seems to be stabilizing the arthritis. Yay! :)

5. The middle
I don't quite understand how two people can share a double bed - perhaps I'm just very jealous of my space...

7. The right side, as seen from the foot of the bed, for good reason.
Edited on Mon May-21-07 03:39 PM by Redstone
Mrs R likes to sleep on her side, using my shoulder for a pillow (me on my back), and I can't have her do that on the bad shoulder.

8. The wrong side.
At least that's the side I get up on -- explains the "cuss" part of my name.

beside me or on me after I get comfortable.

26. I fussed at my husband because he took the right side, and that was "my" side.
Now that 50% of our kids have moved out, we have separate rooms (snoring and reading in bed issues). I noticed not too long ago that the dog has my husband's side of the bed and I stick to the left side.

Go figure. :shrug:

I've never really had a preference, but my husband is set in his ways and ALWAYS sleeps on the left side.

29. We cannot be

:-(

In my current bed I seem to sleep on the right side, too (no matter what, I tend to sleep consistently on one side or the other, depending on the room, and it's kind of weird how we do that -- rather than sleep0ing in the middle and having the whole bed -- even years after splitting with a partner).

Of course, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing if we both slept on the same side. ;-)

Though your husband might wonder who I was. :P

30. Left side.
even when MrShine and I sleep in hotel beds, we tend to sleep on the same sides as we always do at home. Creatures of habit, I guess...

Some nights, that isn't very much -- and then Sam my fat cat decides he wants my pillow.

38. The side closest to the window.
During the summer I like the cool breeze. During the Winter I like the freezing cold breeze. During the Winter I usually hear a muffled voice from "her" side, but I've never been able to understand what she's saying. I figure that if it is important she will peel off several layers of blanket long enough to tell me what's up...

:D

46. This is one of those trick questions, isn't it?
If I'm standing at the foot of the bed, facing the bed, the left side is mine. If I'm in the bed, lying on my back, my side is the right side. If I'm in the bed, lying on my tummy, my side is the left side. :confusedashell:

47. Everywhere
I switch around all the time--left, right, bottom, top, diagonal. I'll fall asleep in whichever spot/position causes my back the least pain on any given night.

It's a good thing that ThinkBlue1966 is one of those people who can fall asleep anywhere. Otherwise I'd have driven her crazy by now, lol.

I used to thread my way in carefully through the top of the bed, so as not to disturb the cats.

That was before my SO moved in....
