      Right side > Left side? =)

      So, I've found that in many of Laberge's exercises, he says "lie on your back or right side". I've noticed long ago that I'm more comfortable and have a much easier time falling asleep when lying on my right side (i.e. right shoulder on matress, not "facing towards the right"). Why is this the case? I think it may be because your heart is higher up, so it isn't getting crushed, and has an easier time circulating blood, but not sure...

      There is also a text that says you are three times more likely to go lucid when sleeping on right side.

      That's weird, I usually fall asleep much easier if I am laying on my right side, I just thought it had to do with the fact that if im laying on my left side then I'm facing a wall just inches from my face.

      Funny, I remember overhearing someone on a bus today saying that they have trouble sleeping on their left.

      Can you people lie comfortably on your left? Or do you mean that you cant actually SLEEP on the left side? I can sleep either way, but I cant remember which side I fall asleep on because Im not awake to notice.

      I've been checking up on my cats all day long. When they aren't napping perfectly straight, when they are really sleeping down and dirty, they can be found on both their right sides and their left sides.

      But people prefer sleeping on their right sides. Notice how married couples sleep. Man on the Right, Woman on the left and they wind up in a kind of a spooning position.

      I once met a lady who said she liked the right side of the bed. I thought about it for a second... picked up my car keys and left. I had no idea how that could have possibly worked.

      I always sleep better on my left. Atleast to start off with, I know I do end up turning around in my sleep a lot.

      By the way, how many married people have to watched sleeping? You sound so confidence in something, that most people shouldn't know heh. Also, you should of asked that woman if she meant the right side from looking at the bed or right side from laying on the bed. When you said it I thought you meant from laying on the bed but then thinking about it for a while, I bet you meant from looking at it.

      I usually sleep on my back but sometimes I roll to my left side which faces the Sliding doors and I usually never have a problem going Lucid sleeping on my left. Actaully I sleep better on my left side opposed to my right. The right side always felt a little uncomfortable sometimes.

      how much on your side are you people talking about? I always sleep on my tummy and i find it kind of hard to sleep any other way. I tried to sleep on my right and left side before a while ago, but i couldn't really do it. I kept falling on my back or foward onto my stomach or sometimes a cross of both(unless thats what you're talking about?)

      i used to sleep on my side to...i think when im only cold and really tired i can do that..in which case i scrunch up into a ball sorta so as to prevent me from falling backwards or forwards....a picture wouldnt hurt

      Curiosity killed the cat but at least it didnt die an ignorant bastard

      I usually use a thin pillow and put an arm under it (in such a way that i don't cut off circulation)

      That's really interesting. I've often discussed sleeping positions with family and friends and never really concluded that they affect how you sleep and your dreams. We've always agreed it's just a comfort factor and personal preference (i.e. not facing the wall or facing away from the wall).

      Just trying to think what I do... When I first get in bed I lie on my back, with my legs and arms straight, for a good 15 minutes, shutting down my thoughts and dozing. Then I usually turn and lie on my right for a while. Then I usually turn a whole 180 and lie on my left before falling asleep. Maybe this is why I am not lucid dreaming.

      When I go back to bed in a minute I will lie on my right and stay on my right to see what happens.

      What a fantastic thread. Great read and fascinating.

      i always find that lying on my back is better for wilds and i tend to find myself naturally in this position even when i awake, tho ive fallen asleep on one of my sides. for comfort i mostly fall asleep on my right side and/or belly, but sometimes like once a wk i find myself in a radom position, 1 leg off the bed 1 leg crunched up 1 arm over my head 1 arm hangin of the bed, lol as u can imagine.
