Dear Poll: What Side of the Bed Do You Sleep On?

June 9, 2008

I'm a middle-of-the-bed sleeper — I always have been so when I do share a bed with someone, I'm that girl who hogs the sheets and the mattress! So whether you share your bed with your significant other, your dog or cat, or no one at all, tell me, what side of the bed to you claim as your own?

right side. if its another side, i cant sleep at all. unless its a road trip or a similar situation. i sleep on the right side and turn to the right side (wall) when i sleep. its the coziest way for me.

It may sound wierd but I sleep opposite of what ever side the door is on. Idk why. But if the door is to the right I sleep on the left if the door is to the left I sleep on the right. As I said before Idk why but maybe its too many scary movies.

Right side when w/ Bf. Middle when Alone. Uunless the doggies sleep with me, then I'm back to the right side... and VERY close to the edge... lol - my doggies are huge

It depends on which side of my body I'm sleeping on. When I first moved from a twin to a double though, I didn't know where on the bed to sleep and eventually decided on a diagonal position so I could get some rest. :-P

Recently I've been attempting to train myself to sleep on the right side of the bed. Mostly just to see if I could and it's very difficult. I have to put my body pillow down the middle of the bed to keep from straying. LOL.

I prefer to sleep next to the wall at home. With the hubby and 2 cats, the bed seems cramped and I'm afraid of falling off. Anywhere else...it doesn't matter but I would probably go for the side that is furthest away from the window (I can't sleep when it's too light!).

I hate being against the wall and my boyfriend is kind enough to indulge my oddities! However, when sleeping by myself, I sleep diagonally across the bed. I am frequently accused of trying to do the same thing even if he's in the bed, too!

The right side BUT if we go on vacation, or to a relatives house we always switch!

I alway sleep alone and its the right side for me or the middle. Hey... I'm single I can do whatever I want. But what drives me crazy if I go to bed and my bathroom door or closet is open.

The side closest to the door- I'm the one who gets up if the kids need attention at night.

no big deal for me i can sleep on both but i just prefer the right since the wall is against the left and i usually get up in the middle of the night or come in late

i sleep on the right side at home, but when i'm on business trips, the side of the bed i sleep in varies. it's kind of weird, i always end up "drawn" to a certain side of the bed. no rhyme or reason for it.

i chose left, but when im at my bf's, its the right. weird. we never really had the "which-side-of-the-bed discussion," its just habit.

i sleep on the right. and my husband is in the military so he travels a lot - when he's not home, i still sleep on the right. i miss him so much that i want it to feel like he's still there. this is weird, but sometimes i put his pillow under the blankets so it looks like he's there. i know, i'm pathetic

I put middle but it depends. If I'm in the bed myself its the left side. If someone else is in the bed its the right. Unless it's y daughter in the bed then it stays left cause the right is by the wall
