LOL I slep on my belly with one leg bent too, I didn't know it was that common. Though I tend to sleep with my bottom arm under my head, but not in the traditional way, I end up with my hand by my face and my elbow somewhere behind my head^^ people tell me that it seems like it would be painful! I find the traditional way more painful:)

My physiotherapist is trying to get me to sleep on my side. Told me to sew a golf ball into the stomach of my pajamas to remind me not to sleep on my stomach. I didn't bother telling her I don't wear jammies....
Perhaps I could duct-tape one to my tummy.....:)

Must try the bent knee thing - maybe that would help.

Springgirl-- I hear ya, he's a cutie huh? I sleep on my belly too, I'm trying to work on that!

Crabby-- I love my sleep too!!

Lance-- good stuff huh? I love that one.

Mary Anne-- I can see how it helps your shoulder!

deb-- ahh, I LOVE that position, all nestled up in my bed!! didn't know that deb, thanks for sharing (re: insomniacs)

ashley-- YES! That position totally takes pressure off the back by changing the position of the pelvis and tailbone, thus taking some of the pressure off the low back! Great question!

kristi-- ahh, yes I need my 8 hours too!!

Cammy-- that position is most comfy for me as well! And you too!!

My sleep position? On my side,leaning toward belly, with my topmost leg bent to support me. A lower case 'h', if that makes any sense. LOL

Sometimes during sleep, I'll end up more on my belly (a not-so-narrow letter 'l'), and my back always lets me know.

Have a most marvelous week!

Never was a belly sleeper. I like sleeping on my side. Actually, any sleep I get I am happy. No sleep very unhappy camper.

So this is a weird question but...I sleep on my belly but with one leg completely bent up and to my side (so my knee is by my chest). Do you think the whole knee up thing relieves some pressure from my back making it okay for me to sleep on my belly?

ps- great topic!

I sleep side/back/side, rolling around all night. Sometimes, sleeping on my stomach helps when I've got hip/leg pain.

Love the body pillow. As an insomnia sufferer, I can curl up next to one- with a comforter pulled on the other side- and make a "nest" to sleep in. They suspect the swaddling feeling/ constant physical touch helps many with this trouble. and it helps me.

When I was growing up I used to sleep face down more than on my side. Now I sleep mostly on my side, but just this month I've tried to sleep face down more and it's helping my shoulder. Lower back pain--never had it.

Me? I'm typically a side sleeper and sometimes a back sleeper. (I should get more though!!)

And...I see I need to find a tape measure to check my arm span...(from your last post...strange stuff!!)

(Side sleeper, mostly.)

Ah, thanks for answering my question yet again and I shall try learning to sleep on my side! But I'm jealous cause the very cute doggie gets to sleep on his belly comfortably.
