apparently, when i was a baby my parents made sure that i learned not to fall asleep on my back, because apparently that was a safety concern at the time (who knows why). Because of this I have a VERY difficult time falling asleep on my back, always doing so on my side. HOWEVER i find this very effective for a WILD technique as i can relax without having to worry about having my mind fall asleep. I don't know if anyone can use this information to help them, but I found it to be an interesting revelation. =)

Yeah if babies slept on their backs they supposedly would choke or something so most babies in the last 20 years were forced to sleep on their sides. So yes I can't sleep on my back for the life of me, but when I do that in my case has 100% assured me awaking with SP which is >_> some enjoy I do not. But yeah I noticed it is FAR easier to WILD when sleeping on my side how I am used to. However you are supposed to WILD in the position that is most comfortable to start off with aren't you?

I can't fall asleep on my back either. It has come to my attention that whenever I or someone else here states something; Allmost everyone else says they have exactly the same thing: are these statements collective truths about sleeping and dreaming or are we all being hypersuggestable here?

Anyways right after I was born I stopped breathing. To find out wether my Airwasy were connected to my stomach and my digestive tube was connected to my lungs ( appearantly some babys are born with that ) they put me on my back and pumped my stomach empty.

Ever since I wouldn't sleep on my back and I would go completely apeshit when I was put on my back. Even when my mom tried to bathe me she had to put me on my stomach. This fear eventually passed, but I still can't fall asleep on my back. Not a chance.

Hmm I am thinking a little of both though, but it does vary from person to person. I am going to go with Collective Truths though.
