I've always wanted to be able to sleep on my side whilst hugging some kind of stuffed animal but to no avail. Ever since my SO gifted me a stuffed penguin toy that's large enough to fit in my arms and server as a pseudo-pillow, I've been loving sleeping on my side and have been really comfortable doing so too. I'm the middle spoon most of the time then. :D

Sleeping on my back is best though

Whenever my stomach hurts i'll remember some recommendation that you're supposed to sleep on your left or right side.

But I never remember which so I just rotate back and forth

Left is better for digestion or something iirc?

Left is better for acid relux.

Oh good, I’m not the only one who rotates in their sleep like a rotisserie chicken

Front sleeping is the worst of these by quite a long way though. Last time I did it (after some drinks) it cost me a month of physio.

I can't sleep on my back, if I do, my SO would probably murder me. So I sleep on my side.

I used to sleep on my stomach some years ago, but there were too many things I had to get just right before I could be comfortable enough to sleep, and frankly, my SO doesn't give me enough space to do that most nights.

I did a sleep study recently and I'm waiting on their analysis, so hopefully I'll get better sleep soon. I'll be sure to ask the doctor about what position isn't going to create more problems.

Has anyone tried this? https://odditymall.com/arm-slot-mattress-designed-for-side-sleepers Looks like the skot would rub your armpit to shreds, but I like the idea.

I like the idea too, but you have to buy proprietary bed sheets.
