1scorp Knowflake Posts: 2251 From: Registered: Feb 2003	posted September 16, 2003 12:51 PM But what if you rotate between a few? Sleeping on one's side with legs outstretched and arms down in what Idzikowski refers to as the log, indicates a social, easy-going personality. But if the arms are outstretched in the yearner position, the person tends to be more suspicious. The freefall, flat on the tummy with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6.5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually brash and gregarious. May be reasoning in all those comments I get "did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed"? IP: Logged

pidaua Knowflake Posts: 7314 From: Schweinfurt to Grafenwoehr all within 6 months LOL Registered: May 2002	posted September 16, 2003 04:53 PM Hmmm, they really didn't detail many positions. I usually sleep on my stomach with one leg kind of pulled up (like the picture of the Hanged Man Tarot card) and the other leg straight. I will be face first into the pillow (with a little breathing hole) and have my arms outstretched or my hands flat out near my head. I also like it pitch black in my room. Every now and then I wake up in a semi-side position with my hands outstretched (I guess like the yearner thing. LOL) Weird stuff. IP: Logged

Lost Leo Knowflake Posts: 1877 From: CA Registered: Sep 2002	posted September 16, 2003 05:40 PM the idiosyncracies of individuals' sleep positions or someone's evil take on my title... either way... All I know is I'm hot-blooded so the bed HAS to be cold and no blankets or clothes... just a single light sheet... and I fall asleep on my left side facing to TV... I always wakeup up on my stomach... Although I heard it's VERY bad to fall asleep on your left-side because it's your Moon side... My Yoga instructor told me that we should be falling asleep on our right-side cause it's our Sun side... go figure... No matter what side I fall asleep on... the corresponding hand is under the pillow... Hands always under the pillow! Quite often I find it easier to sleep when I tightly wrap my right arm around a pillow... IP: Logged

lioneye68 Knowflake Posts: 6062 From: Canada Registered: Apr 2003	posted September 16, 2003 06:42 PM I use to know this couple (Libra man, Leo woman), and the guy couldn't fall asleep unless he was cupping one of her "cheechka's" (i.e. boobs) in his hand Isn't that funny? He was an oil truck driver and he had to work crazy shifts, so sometimes he would have to go to sleep at like 6:00 pm or so, and she always had to go lay with him for a while until he fell asleep that way. It was so cute. (they were in their 40's and had been married for 20 somewhat years already) IP: Logged
trillian Knowflake Posts: 4050 From: The Boundless Registered: Mar 2003	posted September 16, 2003 07:38 PM I'm with a lot of you folks, I'm a sloppy sleeper, beginning on one side, then switching to other side or back. And my patterns have changed over the years, when I was younger I often slept on my stomach, which I rarely do now. Well, I sometimes sleep semi- on my stomach! And about 10 years ago, for some reason, I too started to clutch a pillow in my arms to fall asleep. No clue as to why. Dunno, but I think the article makes things over simplistic. Interesting, though! IP: Logged
pixelpixie Knowflake Posts: 5301 From: Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 2005	posted September 16, 2003 08:26 PM Just a thought, sleeping on your left side as opposed to right? I think this is more realistic than spiritual because your heart is toward your left side, and it pumps more efficiently when you are on your right. I guess spiritually, it has something to do with chakras as well. I am the stupidest sleeper.... I usually end up on my back, with my knees bent, right in the air.. I don't know what holds them up, maybe I have a deal with gravity when I sleep. While I'm there, I have this stupid habit that I have always had. I ball a tissue up in my hand for comfort. Sometimes when I wake up the next morning I am still holding it! ( I don't know where the others go though, maybe with the socks I lose in the dryer?? IP: Logged
Jazzebel Knowflake Posts: 343 From: Georgia Registered: Aug 2003	posted September 17, 2003 01:05 AM haha hehee, Pixieeeee, you got me bursting with laughter here. you wake up with kness up? LOL and holding a tissue in your hand... you crack me up I just checked the web site - I fall asleep on my back , hands curled up around my head, left foot over the other and I usually wake up with my pillow placed over my face IP: Logged
Ra Moderator Posts: 2078 From: Atlanta Registered: Jun 2005	posted September 17, 2003 03:13 AM It seems I do not make the survey! I sleep on my back, feet together, arms folded with hands crossed upon my chest, and usually with the sheet pulled up over my nose. My wife says I look like a mummy, or like I am laying in a casket.

hrj777 Knowflake Posts: 611 From: Anywhere, nowhere ... Registered: Dec 2002	posted September 17, 2003 07:17 AM Hi Ra! I sleep exactly the same way as Pidua ... and funny thing is I have always associated it with the "Hangman" too. But on occasion I have woken up exactly like Ra, on my back with my arms crossed in front of me like a mummy. When I wake up like that it always freaks me out though because I wake up with that "where am I, what day is it, where have I been" feeling. It's very unsettling but has only happpened a few times.

pidaua Knowflake Posts: 7314 From: Schweinfurt to Grafenwoehr all within 6 months LOL Registered: May 2002	posted September 17, 2003 10:54 AM LOL...Heidi, that is cool. I sometimes like to sleep on my back too,but more often it's in the HM position. Lost Leo, The other reason for sleeping on the right side has to do with the heart. Since your heart is on the left you want your right side down to reduce the pressure from the weight of the lungs and body. Do you sleep on the left or right hand side of the bed? My Leo guy always has to sleep on the right side and I usually sleep on the left side if someone is next to me. If no one is around I have been known to take up the whole bed. IP: Logged
Lost Leo Knowflake Posts: 1877 From: CA Registered: Sep 2002	posted September 17, 2003 01:27 PM LOL, Scorps chix... Always masterbating... they always wakeup pleasuring themselves... and they act surprised... Yeah right! Not to mention any night they go to bed alone, they can't settle into sleep until they taken the day's edge off...lol Hey Pid! I think it's the right side... although typcially it'll be whatever side is between the door and my woman... way to do it... any suggestions? IP: Logged
pidaua Knowflake Posts: 7314 From: Schweinfurt to Grafenwoehr all within 6 months LOL Registered: May 2002	posted September 17, 2003 02:15 PM LOL.. you are too cool. Okay here it is: I like your answer...between your woman and the door. Is that to prevent her from escaping - sounds like something a man would do if he knew he was with a Sag. LOL IP: Logged
Lost Leo Knowflake Posts: 1877 From: CA Registered: Sep 2002	posted September 17, 2003 02:37 PM Escaping... LOL No see if I'm trying to keep her from escaping I HIDE HER CLOTHES as were getting into it... Then when she wakes up she has to walk round naked all morning... just great! *** learned the hiding clothes trick from a Scorp buddy of mine...lol But seriously, it was more for the "If something comes thru that door I'm in the middle of the two" I know, sounds gay and sappy...but whateva!

pidaua Knowflake Posts: 7314 From: Schweinfurt to Grafenwoehr all within 6 months LOL Registered: May 2002	posted September 17, 2003 02:45 PM Lost Leo, I am seeing more and more Leo in you. It's that kind of "take charge" kind of thing. At any rate, no one needs to hide my clothes. If it's done right, I will just slip off into a nice sleep and walk around naked anyway. I think it is very sweet and protective to guard the door against things that go "bump" in the night. IP: Logged
WychOfAvalon Knowflake Posts: 633 From: Los Angeles Registered: Feb 2003	posted September 17, 2003 10:33 PM CHRONIC flipper here, too. I was in bed for 6 hours last night and woke up to turn over or roll over at least 12 times. i'm exhausted. ------------------ we dreamt we'd be the ones - and we would never lose.. you made me speechless - and fearless - yet it made you fearless too.. oh how we dreamt to be so fearless - no matter what they do.. i don't know where you are now -we shared a dream of being together.. you led me to the light, yeah - for this i would like to thank you forever IP: Logged
bauschd Knowflake Posts: 232 From: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Registered: Jun 2003	posted September 18, 2003 08:06 PM Have you ever used purple plates Wych? I've found they can help falling into and maintaing sleep. I think the survey sounds stupid as it does seem more like an astrology thing. I first sleep left (usually spooning my GF), then flip right and I'm out. I never remember how I wake up. Now the astro thing. I think the pattern (or routine) is my Virgo moon, always sleeping near the OPEN window (even in winter) is my gem sun (for the escape factor and air), and awaking forgetfully is my sag rising Dean/o. ------------------ Love and Light to aLL My numerology program according to "Star Signs" by LG.

StarlitSky Knowflake Posts: 42 From: Sweden Registered: Sep 2003	posted September 21, 2003 04:55 PM I used to sleep in the "mummy" position for years. Now this last year I have suddenly changed into sleeping in a more of a "tied-down" kind of position!?! My arms over my head crossing at the wrists and my left foot over the other. My hubby is a Leo but after he had been sleeping badly for the first year we lived together, he admitted he felt more safe if I slept between him and the door Sleep tight, Starlit IP: Logged
pixelpixie Knowflake Posts: 5301 From: Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 2005	posted September 21, 2003 06:23 PM Now, I am sorry to get logical on this thread, but Starlit ~ I am concerned for your position. I do this too sometimes, but I was told to stop. Because, when you cross at the ankles and wrists, it limits the blood supplied to the limbs and therefore is unhealthy, especially in sleep, as your body needs to repair itself, and focuses blood more directly to the areas that need it- less to the extremities. It is like crossing your legs when you sit, Sure, it looks sexy, but eventually you can get hip dysplasia and varicose veins etc... sorry to make you self conscious, but like the left side/heart thing, it is good to know! Oh, and by the way, I am intrigued you likened it to being tied down... RRROOOOWWWWWRRRRR!!!!! Sexy Swedish IP: Logged
StarlitSky Knowflake Posts: 42 From: Sweden Registered: Sep 2003	posted September 21, 2003 07:25 PM You make me blush Pixel Like you said it can't be healthy sleeping this way. The way I began to notice my unusual position was because I started to wake up with no blood or strength in my arms during the night. Very bad when the baby wakes up from a nightmare and not being able to get my arms and hands to function.... Starlit IP: Logged
