hahha i sleep furtherest from the door. one night for the heck of it, we switched and wound up both needing to switch back to the original the next night! Haha we're creatures of habits---lol

although, when DH lived in our apt for 5 months alone he had the entire bed to himself, it's taken a little adjustment and a few accidental elbows in my head hahaha

Right. Both my mom and my sister also sleep on the right, which is closest to the door, and I have a theory that women are socialized to sleep closer to the door b/c when babies wake up crying they can get to them faster.

That's interesting! My side is closest the door, but I wanted it because it gets more light through the doorway, and DH's side is very dark. Since he gets up like 10 times to pee a night he should really have that side though.

I sleep on the left, however, I generally like the side furthest from the door (same thought as you Janice , I also have a thing though if there is a window/sliding glass door, I have to be closest to that. Weird, I know.

I am on the left and my theory is nutty

he is on the right- the side closest to the door- i have always been worried that if someone came in the room- to rob us he would be closest to them and be able to protect me.. i know it is stupid we are like inches away

I always slept on the right side, but once my FI and I moved in together, he somehow wound up with that side!!! Its been almost a year that I have been sleeping on the left and I HATE it, as soon as he gets out of bed, I am all over his side!!! He refuses to switch with me!!

When FI and I moved in together I got to sleep closer to the wall b/c it was closer to the fan/AC. Since that point, no matter where we move the bed he HAS to sleep on the right side. I asked him once to switch and he said he wouldn't be able to sleep on the other side, which I don't understand b/c I wake up every morning with him sleeping on my pillow.

welllll I have a twin bed... go ahead, LAUGH. SO i guess that qualifies me as 'all over'?

that was our situation in College!! Back then the question wasn't left or right, in a bed that size, it was more like Top or Bottom

i sleep on the left (its the side away from the door)... but i like to switch it up sometimes too. its kind of like eating someone else's food-- sometimes its just better than your own
