Due to the weather & a lack of beds, you find yourself needing to share a twin bed with someone who is neither related to you nor of any romantic interest (ie. same sex & you’re both hetero) but is someone you know (you’re both part of the same club / group / organization). Do you sleep

  • Same direction - both heads at one end of the bed
  • Opposite direction - one head at either end of the bed
