I usually start out on my side and then switch to my stomach.  It takes me awhile to get to sleep :-[  When I switch to my stomach, I move my pillow out of my way.  I only use it when I'm on my side.

I sleep on my sides, stomach and back.  When I was pregnant, I was so miserable because I could not sleep on my stomach.

I never sleep on my back because every time I do, I have nightmares. So I mainly lay on my side, but when I am sick, I usually lay on my stomach.

The big question is if you like the side etc, how do you end up in a different position and then realize your nights sleep made your neck hurt or back etc. Yes some specialist say it is your pillow or you need a certain bed but really what is it that your body is doing during sleep to make itself comfortable. Stress, pressure from pillows or from not the right bed. ???? There is a lot of thoughts and studies but each person is different. No one study on okay lets say thousands can result to millions who feel. My thoughts are everyone has a different way of sleeping and this can not be copied to say that just because millions have tested a pillow or bed, does not mean that is good for me.

Sometimes I do lie on my stomach to stretch out...then I end up falling asleep like that. Most of the time, I start off on my back but waking up on my side.

I sleep on my side and my back. I can not not sleep on my stomach. I am to top heavy. Doctor's words.  I went to sleep on my stomach once and threw my back out, ended up going to the doctor he told me to never sleep on my stomach again.

When I was growing up face on my belly was my favorite position, after I gave birth it became more difficult, but recently I have been trying to sleep belly down, it's much harder....my nose get congested, my joints get stiff...but I love that position....

Post by: bigfoot951 on February 03, 2013, 08:55:57 am
It all depends how tired I am.  Most nights I fall asleep on my side but if I am really having trouble falling asleep then laying on my stomach is usually the answer.  I don't know how much it matters though since I tend to change positions throughout the night.

I always have to start sleeping on my stomach but sometime in the night I end up on my back. If I really wake up I have to flip back over and start again.

I love sleeping on my stomach, but I've notice that when I do in the morning my back is killing me. I have to learn to sleep on my side and when I don't sleep on my stomach my back pain is almost none to mild.  :crybaby2:

I sleep on my stomach, but this is not good I've read. Because your face is pressed up on the pillow, this can cause lines in the face.

My friend is an esthetician and has people ask why one side of their face has more fine lines than the other, and she asks "do you sleep on your left/right side?" And they always answer yes, and this is the reason for it.

I get my deepest sleep when I'm on my stomach.  I feel insecure if I start to fall asleep and I'm not in a position where I can completely let go.

I have a hard time sleeping on my stomach, I can't seem to get comfortable.  I can't sleep on my back it makes my mouth and throat too dry.  I mostly sleep on my sides but that has been causing shoulder pain.  I have been experimenting sleeping different ways.  My husband on the other hand can pretty much sleep anywhere and any way.

I am surprised soo many people have said stomach. It seems very uncomfortable to me. Although I admit I do have shoulder issues that make it difficult for me to be on my stomach.

I use to go to sleep on my stomach but due to a back injury that is something I am unable to do.  Now I usually fall asleep on my right side or my back....some nights I actually sleep sitting up which makes for a long night.  :(
