Position affecting chances?

[lucidspark64]

i don't know but everytime i've had sleep paralysis, i was lying on my back although i prefer my side and i would say the same with lucid dreams but does it really matter?

It's weird how that works and I have noticed a similar thing with myself. When I sleep on my side I don't get sleep paralysis as often. I can recall several times that while lying on my side I thought I was going into sleep paralysis, but it wouldn't quite happen. I would even start to hear humming noises and experience other mild hallucinations, but then I would just snap out of it.

After LDing I usually wake up on my stomach. But I think WILDing is best on your back because you don't pass out as quickly as you would on your side or stomach.

Any position works, many people have it work better on their back. I for one cannot fall asleep on my back. I think the position you fall asleep in increases chances, as long as you stay awake.

I really don't think your position in bed affects anything. I would suggest just doing whatever is comfortable and don't worry about it.

i think its because you move more or have a better chance of moving laying on your side, on your back you have more surface area so your more stable, making it easier to get SP

i think its because you move more or have a better chance of moving laying on your side, on your back you have more surface area so your more stable, making it easier to get SP sounds reasonable to me. although there has been a time when i fell in and out of sleep paralysis by just rolling over on my side (was like half asleep) and did that like 3 times in a row. maybe something worth studying some day if no one has yet
