Had a conversation with another couple about which side of the bed people sleep on. He was a little pissed that his wife had passed out on the wrong side the night before since he always has to be on the right side of the bed.

Seemed a little weird to me since it really doesn't matter which side I end up on. When I'm at my house I guess I do prefer to be on the side where the alarm clock is. But even that changes sometimes when the room gets rearranged.

Does the side of the bed matter?

I know, cool story bro!

Doesn't matter what side I sleep on. Normally its the left though. But if I ever get up in the middle of the night the GF always rolls over and sleeps where I was at.

Been married 12 years and slept on the same side of the bed every single night. Even at hotels or visiting someone.

If I'm on a king-sized bed, I'm sprawled out in the middle. I know someone who will sleep all the way on the edge of the bed no matter what size it is.

Slept on the right side of the bed for 29 years - no big deal, just habit. Got started that way because I'm left-handed and the wife is right-handed - it made for better groping that way. :p

Sleep on the right side 99% of the time. I've never known anyone who shares a bed that doesn't sleep on the same side.

I like beds having one side to the wall and I'm always away from the wall. In a bed in the middle of the room I generally like being able to sleep on mt left side to put right arm over mt lady. Other way my arm wakes up sore as hell.

At my place, I sleep on the left side(looking at the bed) and at Fab4's I sleep on the right side(again, looking at the bed).

It really doesn't matter to me, but I prefer the way it is at my place.

No matter where we are, I give my wife the side that has the night stand beside it because her phone charger is really short. She uses her phone as an alarm clock, so it HAS to sit on the night stand. Mine is long, so can reach all the way to the dresser on my side. So, currently, I sleep on the left side, which as you'll see below has turned me into a switch hitter, and I'm not so good righty if you get my drift.

If we are in a hotel, and there are 2 night stands, I usually sleep on the right (looking at the bed) for the same reason Cat Food Cramble' stated above. Although, we're both left handed:confused:

I prefer sleeping on the inside (against the wall). If a bed isnt against the wall, the left (looking at the bed)

laying in bed is like sitting in a car.. the man is always on the left side. You dont actually let your wife drive do you?

This is an easy question...

Answer:

The side that doesn't have the wet spot.


Aren't you glad that you asked?

I always sleep on the left side of the bed, even if I'm the only one it.
