Apparenty this behavior is quite prevalent in all animals, including us. Only when we trust our surroundings 100% can we effectively sleep on our back and stay there.</p> <p>Try it out! I have and it&#39;s tough to stay sleeping on your back throughout the night. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/what-about-sleeping-the-right-way#post-30184 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 23:30:57 +0000 suzyschnitz 30184@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>DOH. I have a snorer, who is also an elbower, kicker, butter, and bed hogger. </p> <p>But I get all the covers, if I want. </p> <p>A better sleeping situation for this grokette would be a bigger bed. I don&#39;t care at this point if my shoulders are rounded over. I just need more space! </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/what-about-sleeping-the-right-way#post-30180 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 23:04:50 +0000 Diana Renata 30180@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I hate sleeping alone. Been doing it for 3 years now. *sigh* You&#39;re right- you do sleep better with company- unless they snore loudly. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/what-about-sleeping-the-right-way#post-30175 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:53:11 +0000 kuno1chi 30175@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;m with you, Primal.</p> <p>Even though my BF is terrible covers-hog...I always enjoy the best of sleep when he&#39;s with me.</p> <p>He also insists on sleeping on the side of the bed nearest the door, to protect me :-D </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/what-about-sleeping-the-right-way#post-30169 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:39:45 +0000 Primalchild 30169@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>It&#39;s an interesting question. I think problems will spring more from what we sleep on than in what position we sleep. You may be curled up in a ball but you&#39;re not being defeated by gravity as you would be slouched in a chair. </p> <p>Actually I believe we sleep better when we&#39;re in close proximity to familiar, trusted people. I think that since we don&#39;t function so well in the dark, we&#39;ve evolved to be afraid of the dark; nervous, easily startled, prone to troubling thoughts. The presence of family, friends and loved ones can be very soothing. When I sleep with my S.O. I can sleep straight through the night, but when I sleep alone I usually wake up once or twice. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/what-about-sleeping-the-right-way#post-30167 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:19:53 +0000 James17 30167@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>The recent post regarding chairs and sitting got me thinking. Spending hours bent over like that is bad, so sleeping while curled up in a ball or with your shoulders rounded should be bad too, right? Any ideas about this? I&#39;d hate to think that I&#39;m doing 8 hours of damage every night... </p>
