Question of the Day, Friday, February 18

[Winchester]

Good morning!

How do you sleep? Are you a side sleeper, do you sleep on your back or stomach?

I usually start out on my right side (because Muffin tucks herself into me under my neck with her paws over my left shoulder. Then, at some point, I switch over to my left side. Sometimes Molli needs to be with me, so then I start out on my left side, until she gets too warm and goes up to my pillow and stretches out along my head. Then I tend to stay on my left side. Never on my back and never on my stomach. It all depends on which cat needs the attention, I think. Sometimes, when Dear Richard is sleeping on his left side, I'll try to spoon with him. But Molli doesn't like that and she'll come in between us, so I have to move away.

How do you sleep?

 

[Lari]

I'm a side sleeper, which was ideal for pregnancy. I usually switch sides several times. I've done both stomach and back in the past, but I've been side for several years.

My daughter often gets herself into this position. I'm not sure how it's comfortable.

 

[Katie M]

I'm a side sleeper. In fact, I sometimes wind up in the fetal position.

 

[cassiopea]

Tummy sleeper! Then side sleeper.

 

[Margot Lane]

Started fetal, but Zorro is a foot fetishist. He’d drape himself over my left foot, causing it to fall asleep. Now I am “side scissors,” w/ Zorro sleeping against one leg. He paws my face just before the cat feeder goes off, because he’s excited, and while he’s racing off for the 4AM snack, I hastily switch over to the other side of my scissor. Repeat.

 

[susanm9006]

I sleep on my side, either one and switch frequently during the night. Towards morning though I always end up on my stomach.

 

[vince]

Side sleeper. I'm quite active during the night, which is probably why the cats often leave during the night. Sometimes, I find them piled up along my back in the morning, though.

 

[allmykitties]

Side sleeper, with Circe against me from hip to shoulder, Domino and TV around my feet, frequently Jemmy in the crook at the back of my knees (whenever he gets tuckered from playing with Leo), and sometimes Cosette on my pillow.

 

[neely]

Side sleeper, whatever side Carleton is sleeping on.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I usually start on my side or stomach and may move to my back or stay in the side or stomach position.

 

[aliceneko]

I have to sleep on my back as it's almost impossible for me to sleep on any other part of my body due to my disability; which is nervous system based.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Side hugging a king size pillow with my arms and leg. I do end up on my belly a lot but never my back.

 

[Whenallhellbreakslose]

I am an extremely restless sleeper (it take hours before I actually go to sleep), but when I do finally dose off it is always on my side.

 

[NY cat man]

I'm a side sleeper; which side depends on who gets in bed with me first. If it's Stretch, then it's right side; if it's Miss Eleanor, then it's the left side, as that's where she likes to curl up and cuddle.

 

[lizzie]

I'm a left sided sleeper.

 

[mani]

I'm a side sleeper, which was ideal for pregnancy. I usually switch sides several times. I've done both stomach and back in the past, but I've been side for several years.

My daughter often gets herself into this position. I'm not sure how it's comfortable.

Shashankasana (pose of the child)! You have a little yogi.
It's considered to be a very nurturing, settling pose.

 

[strider rose]

start out on my back and then sleep on my side

 

[Norachan]

Carefully fitted in between the cats, in what ever position I can manage.

 

[AbbysMom]

Definitely a side sleeper.

 

[game misconduct]

used to be any side sleeper until after my first vertigo(while driving) episode now its on my back with a high pillow to keep my head up no fun to wake up feeling sloppy drunk x2
