DREAM STUDY (HOW DO YOU SLEEP?)

[LivingLucid]

I'd really appreciate you all to participate in this poll as im trying to find the relativeness of sleep positions and frequency of lucid experiences.

[O-Nieronaut]

I toss and turn a lot, so I don't know how I actualy sleep. I wake up in any position, too. Ive found hat most of my lucid experiences take place while I'm facing the ceiling or lying on my right side. Lying on one's right side is the Dream Yoga prefered method for lucidity.

I try to sleep facing the ceiling because thats the way I remember dreams the easiest. But sometimes it's just hard cause I've slept facing either side curled up in a weird position all my life so I guess that's just the way I feel most comfortable.

I sleep on my front, with my arms curled round my pillow. During the night, i wriggle down, so that my feet are off the end of the bed.d I sleep weird! I nearly always wake on my back though.

You forgot the option of sleeping on your back However, I sleep mostly on my side and on my front. I can't really say which is more usual. PS. Why is this in Beyond Dreaming?

[MarthaM]

When I go to sleep it is usually on my side. However, I often wake up facing the ceiling. And if I have a cold and am having trouble breathing then it is possible I might not sleep at all.

WOO!!! Go sides! I heard sleeping on your stomach causes back problems.

I tend to sleep on either my side(either one is fine)or my back.

[skate4011]

I fall asleep on my side, but wake up on my back.

[Seeker]

I sleep in all positions except my back. Something to do with snoring and disturbing my wifes sleep. [good catch, moving to general]

[OpheliaBlue]

I fall asleep on my stomach, but my head turned to the side, not face down in the pillow, so I didn't vote I wake up in a variety of different positions, I guess depending on how many hours I slept

I always have issues when it comes to sleeping positions, I move and change and move and change and.......... until i find that I´m good and relaxed enough to sleep in that position and it varies from facing the ceiling and or my sides, I hate facing my pilow it just gets on my nerve and every muscle in my body starts to bother, i can only go to bed this way if I´m drunk . I just find it in the morning when I wake I´m always to one side, and when I have really deep sleep I wake up facing the ceiling(and with drool on my cheek ), but so rested that it makes my day a good day

Originally posted by Opheil I wake up in a variety of different positions, I guess depending on how many hours I slept ...or whom you're sleeping with? Well, I usually start out flat on my back - I find it easier to try and clear my mind or meditate (or WILD on occasion). But, I find lying on my side to be most comfortable while trying to sleep - yet, I tend to wake up lying on my stomach with one leg kicked out to the side. So, if I had to vote I guess I would have to say on my side, since that's how I feel most comfortable for getting to sleep.

Originally posted by Tornado Joe But, I find lying on my stomach with one leg kicked out to the side most natural, or comfortable. Yeah, that's the exact same thing I do. It's sooooooooooooo comfortable. Couldn't sleep that way in my 3rd trimester though which SUCKED so bad. And then when I finally DID sleep, I had to get up to pee 5 times a night. Thank god that's over =/

[Awhislyle]

Pretty much looking at the ceiling, every once in a while I will go to sleep on my side/ wake up on my side

[InTheMoment]

I'm usually all over the bed and each morning I wake up with my sheet and pillows on the floor.

[Kaimelar]

I sleep in the same position as Ophelia, on my stomach but my head facing the side, but I voted for "face down on the pillow" cuz I guess it was the one that more closely resembled it. I always wake up in the same position too. Im not sure though if there is any relationship between LDing frequency and sleeping position.
