Sorry about the recliner though, hope it is comfortable.

Remember, I'm the person who MUST have light shining over my left shoulder to read. I don't have that on the right side of the bed and it drives me crazy.<br /><br />I knew an old man once who moved to a new place and had his bed set up so the foot was against the wall and the head of the bed was out in the room. He did this because he'd never married and had always slept on the same side of the bed. In his new location that wouldn't work unless he turned his bed around. It's hard to change old habits.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-12979013157199986602010-07-23T12:41:27.086-05:002010-07-23T12:41:27.086-05:00HAHA!

I also prefer the right side of the bed and, differently from you, ALWAYS sleep away from the door when on vacation - even if that means the left. So, when it comes to me, I am always near the window, not the door. <br />Funny how we fall into habits such as this! :DLynda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04656501178216927836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-62471705277480276162010-07-23T10:20:27.600-05:002010-07-23T10:20:27.600-05:00I think you're onto something.

When I got married, I again, was sleeping on the left side of the bed. Abe said he couldn't stand sleeping on his left side, he could hear and feel his heart beating too much. But what happened after he would fall asleep, you got it, he would turn on his left side and anchor me down with an arm and a leg, so when one of the kids would wake up through the night, I had to fight to get out of bed. He can sleep in the middle if he would want to, since he sleeps alone and I sleep in a recliner, but he still sleeps on the right side which is closest to the door.<br /><br />I have said, no wonder my head looks lop sided.

So where does that leave him...hmmmm. Lots of room on the left side of the bed and me squished to the edge of the right.

I think I always slept in the middle of a bed before I was married but would roll towards the right in the morning but when I married hubby took the right .... I didnt mind as the left was next to the door and thus quicker to get to the loo. When we moved Hubby wanted the left and I was confused but it was then that I realised he like to be on the side next to the window ....arn't men strange? Now I am alone again I tend to sleep on the right still but I always face the left as I settle down and then turn to the right to fall asleep.xxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-29261181056586591432010-07-22T09:30:09.416-05:002010-07-22T09:30:09.416-05:00I thought the same thing as Barry and then I reali...I thought the same thing as Barry and then I realized that I slept next to my hubby's R hand and there was the answer...I sleep on the R side of the bed....LOL Many answers to life's ?'s right?

And I have NEVER awakened happy and refreshed, no matter what side of the bed I have slept on--I don't think I'm a grouch so much as just a tired-in-the-morning person. I am very <br />s-l-o-w in the morning and it takes me a while to get myself together. I am not one of those people who bound up out of bed, and I never have been, but that has been true on the Right and The Left.

But I prefer sleeping on a bed that is placed against a wall (I mean the cot). You see, when we were kids, my brother once kicked me in his sleep & I fell off the cot (I sleep in the same posture-don't even turn).Also I don't even use pillows.

It has been (in various places) both right and left.

Guess this would be a good time to start a movement.<br />Bathroom location does figure in my choice also.<br /><br />Linda in NM,<br />That is what I mean. Why can't we? I guess it shows how flexible we are huh? I think the same thing as I wrestle with my mattress to turn it.

Now I realize I do my feet all wrong. That might explain things.:))<br /><br />Sweet Virginia Breeze,<br />I really do believe that is the gentlemanly thing to do. You have a sweetie. Of course he may just want to be closer to the bathroom.<br /><br />Stitchinbythelake,<br />I hear you and am pretty sure that is my main concern also.<br /><br />Sarah,<br />What ever you have been doing for 51 years is obviously working. That there was no discussion shows you were perfectly matched.<br />Thank you so much and glad you are hanging in with me. That word in the dictionary sounds like a fun challenge. May give it a try on those brain dead days.<br /><br />Reader Wil,<br />As far as I can tell, people do have a preference and most don't really know why. <br />I knew it was joke but it is also something we see in the papers all the time. Not the one euro part though. Loved that.<br /><br />Betsy,<br />Looks like you have always had control of the side of bed. You go girl. It is nice when your choice and your hubbies agree.<br />Can't imagine you getting up on the wrong side.<br /><br />Wanda,<br />You are probably right in that position of bed determines side. Could it also be true that we position of the bed to facilitate the side we want? Think I am guilty there.<br /><br />Betty,<br />According to what I have read, that makes you a righty. I am a right side sleeper also so that makes us totally "right".
