      Question How do you sleep?

      What sleeping position do you sleep in? Whether it be going to sleep normally or when trying to WILD
      Personally, i mostly sleep on my tummy.
      I can't really think of any other sleeping positions, but if you sleep in some crazy position.. post a reply

      My side and my stomache.

      I can't sleep on my back.

      I've read that the side and the back best for lucid dreaming.

      Why isn't hanging upside down an option?

      Because bats can't type, and therefore there are none using this forum.

      Besides - Confucius say "One should not sleep hanging upside-down, if one is Heavy Sleeper"

      (Come to think of it, that actually sounds more like Charlie Chan!)

      I'm able to fall asleep in all three positions.
      If I'm very tired then its stomach and side, and if I'm not too tired then on my back.
      Lately mostly on my side with my hand below pillow

      I always go to bed and start falling asleep on my side, but I see I always fall asleep only when I am on the tummy.

      I can fall asleep on my back only. However I wake up on my side most of the time. Very few times I do wake up on my stomach. I could never imagine FALLING ASLEEP on my stomach though.

      Normally on my stomach, but I can sleep on my side almost just as well. When I WILD, I get SP more on my side so that's how I sleep then.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      Well, I fall asleep at side position but waking up is a different story. Sometimes I wake on my back, sometimes it's half body on bed, half on floor, or my arm hanging down the bed...Either way feels good.

      Sides...sometimes I'll sleep on my back if I'm trying to WILD, but I'll have to be really tired when I'm doing that.

      Sides mostly, normally my right side just because of how my pillows are. Sometimes stomach as well though.

      I'm quite surprised that there are so many people sleeping on their stomach. o_o
      Somehow I always figured most people would sleep on their sides or on their back.
      Sleeping on my stomach seems horribly uncomfortable.
      It takes a certain amount of force to breathe because inhaling pushes up my whole body, which prevents me from falling asleep.
      Dreams are simple.
      It's the painfully simple things the human mind cannot comprehend.
      After all your mind is trained to understand the complexity of the waking world,
      not the simplicity of the dream world.

      It actually takes me quite a while to get asleep when trying to sleep on my back.

      I usually fall asleep on my side, but I always start on my back, then to my side, then to my stomach, then to the other side.

      I don't think I've ever slept on my stomach. The few times I've tried, it feels wrong. I end up switching to my back. And half the time I try, I can feel my pulse in what seems like my stomach, against the bed, which is annoying and hurts.

      While falling asleep, I switch between my stomach and sides. But when I actually fall asleep, it's always on my back, and when I wake up it's always on my back. When I first realized this, I tried resisting the urge to turn to my side, but that became too uncomfortable as the urge became stronger, so I just let myself switch and try not to think about the fact that I won't actually fall asleep until I switch to my back.
