    Sleeping on my back is soooo relaxing… when I can fall asleep. For some reason I have the hardest time falling asleep on my back, but when it does happen it’s bliss.

      I literally can’t fall asleep on my back lol. I can lay there for an hour and then the minute I roll over on my side or stomach I’ll fall asleep.

        Exactly!! My body literally rejects sleep if I’m on my back. And sleeping on a plane semi reclined? Forget it

      If I sleep on my back I get the most vivid and long nightmares, and, if I fall asleep in another position and then wake up from a nightmare, I’m almost always on my back. Not sure what it is, fiancée says I don’t snore or sound like I have trouble breathing.

        Exact same thing happens to me. It’s not necessarily nightmares, but really intense dreams. So intense that I wake up feeling tired.

      Yo same. I have so many pillows that I have to arrange specifically to cradle my neck in a certain way or I’ll wake up with a headache and stiff neck. My neck is most comfy when I’m on my back, but the rest of my body disagrees.

        Step 1: Tape ypir neck to the bed while on your back.

        Step 2: Turn the rest of your body on the side.

        Step 3: ???

        Step 4: Profit

      I have managed to sleep on my back once in my life. It was also the only night that I slept with my eyes open because I was so exhausted

      i don’t sleep on my back because it causes frequent sleep paralysis. i find it more comfortable than my side usually but i don’t want to be attacked by the jack o lantern horse guy while i’m in my bed
