They start off above my head but always seem to drift towards my penis.
Nearly always under my head.
I have real trouble sleeping on my back. Almost never happens. On my side, once in a while.
My default sleeping position is on my stomach, arms crossed with my head resting on them. I do wish I could change it, because I often wake up with one or both arms completely asleep. But (trying) to sleep on my back makes me feel vulnerable (I’m not sure why) and side sleeping just doesn’t feel natural.
Arms in or out of the blanket is determined by the ambient temperature. I will leave them out until they get cold, then I retract them back into my [del]turtle shell[/del] blanket.
I usually fall asleep on my left side, hugging a small squishy squarish pillow to my chest with my right arm, and my left arm resting out in front of me on another small squishy squarish pillow. When I fall asleep on my right side (rare), I get bad dreams within an hour and wake up and have a hard time falling back asleep. I can’t fall asleep on my back, but sometimes I wake up on my back. I never ever sleep on my stomach, it makes my boobs hurt.
At the end of my shoulders, as usual…
I’m generally a side sleeper. Depending on whether I have a firm-enough pillow or not and on whether my hands are frozen or not (I suffer from Hands of Doom), they’ll be under the pillow, in my armpits or neither. In this case, the only body part that’s visible to an outside observer is my head, and not even all of it.
When it’s too bloody hot to sleep on my side, I flop down on my belly in a starfish position, on top of the sheet.
On my side (initially, I often wind up on my back). Usually the “down” arm is sort of rolled outward so the elbow is up and the lower arm is kind of parallel with my torso, then a pillow on top of the lower arm, and the upper arm on top of the pillow. Covers up to my neck unless it’s really hot; if nothing else, because the CPAP blows on my arms otherwise and is annoying.
Of course, I think that the “down” arm position is aggravating some rotator cuff issues, so now I’m trying to keep the arm in a more “normal” rotation, with the forearm pointing up.
On my side with arms bent and hands curled, one is often just under the edge of the pillow so it is comfy against my cheek or on my back arms at my sides. Now, this is the bit that will make you laugh, I simply cannot keep my arms under the covers but if I wake up cold then they will invariably be terribly painful and stiff. My solution is to wear stripey leg warmers on my arms…
On my back, left hand on chest, right arm under wife’s head, with my right hand lightly rubbing her scalp with with my fingertips. She reciprocates with her right hand rubbing my 2 kiwis…WIN-WIN!
Stomach Sleeper. head turned to the right. Right shoulder on a small pillow. Left hand underneath head pillow and right hand just in a similar position but not underneath pillow.
I turned 35 two days ago. I sleep with a stuffed lion. He keeps my arms comfortably apart while I sleep on my side.
As for the op, I sleep on my right side, and my right hand ends up on the pillow. My left next to it. As much as my arms as possible stay under the covers at all times.
I find that sleeping on my stomach is the most comfortable way to sleep. I sleep usually with one hand under the pillow, and the other under my body somewhere.
