RE: What position do you sleep in?

1) What position do you sleep in?
I've been trying to sleep on my back more because lately when I sleep on my side my shoulder gets jacked up or my back starts hurting. If I'm feeling good, though, I sleep on my sides and move to stomach when I start to wake up in the morning. I toss and turn quite a bit.
2) Do you snore?
Not that I'm aware of, and I cannot sleep in the same room as a person who snores. It keeps me up.
3) How many hours do you typically sleep a night?
7-ish, but it never feels like enough.
4) Do you sleepwalk?
Never have before.
5) Do you remember your dreams?
Sometimes. I remember chasing dreams or anxiety dreams for the longest amount of time (being chased and eaten by velociraptors, being chased through a shopping mall by ninjas and poisonous green smoke, being chased by a cloaked and hooded figure, anxiety dreams from schools about presentations, etc.)

1) What position do you sleep in?
Fetal, either side. Unless I'm in the bed with someone, and then it depends. One guy recently had me all jacked up because he insisted on locking his arms around me. He was warm and smelled good and muscle-y and had worn me out, so I didn't give a fuck. Otherwise, I like using the other person like a body pillow so I can keep sleeping on my side, or be the big spoon.
2) Do you snore?
Only when deathly ill.
3) How many hours do you typically sleep a night?
I go through a cycle. Usually 7, but sometimes I just can't sleep past 4. Then I get worn out and sleep for 10.
4) Do you sleepwalk?
No, but my ex did. Goddamn hilarious stories.
5) Do you remember your dreams?
If I try. They're usually very vivid, so as long as I make an effort to commit details to memory upon awakening, they'll stay. Otherwise they're gone. Waste of brain space most of the time. I mean, I dreamed I could turn into a pterodactyl once.
As for your back pain, I spent over a year with a horrible pain in my 'shoulder-back' area and then broke up with my ex and moved in with a friend. Within a week of sleeping on the different mattress, it was gone. It's still gone, now that I'm on my own mattress. You should consider different pads on top of your mattress, or other adjustments, if you can't find a new mattress altogether.

I start on my side, either one usually, we take turns as big spoon, my feet HAVE to be uncovered. Usually wake up on my back.
I hear I snore lightly. Usually if I am on cold/allergy medication.
I average 7-8.
Don't sleep walk.
I remember my dreams near the time I wake up if they are weird. Not often.
