I neglected, earlier today, to raise a point that I fear may vitiate this entire survey. By the left side of the bed I mean the left as seen by someone looking at it while standing at the foot. Is that how others understand the matter? Or would you mean it from the point of view of a person sitting in bed or lying on his or her back?

To me, the 'left' is my left when lying on my back, with my head towards the headboard. So that's why it's called a headboard!!

'Stage Left' as opposed to 'Camera Left'.

However, it's purely academic when one sleeps alone...

I was sleeping on the side closest to the night stand. Then I noticed the mattress was sagging so I moved over to the middle. I try to move around so as not to have peaks & valleys.

Do I have to mention I sleep alone?

Beyond which side you sleep on, which way does the head of your bed point? I was told once that the best sleep occurs when your head points north - magnetic alignment ?

If you are standing at the foot of the bed looking at the bed, I must sleep on the right, which is the left when you get in the bed. :)

John always sleeps on the left of the bed (when you're lying in it) and I sleep on the right. This was ok when we first met and we were sleeping in his house, but when we slept in my house,he got very confused when half awake, and tried to get into the wardrobe, which in my house was where the door was in his!

Incidentally, both our sets of parents slept the same way round as we do - is this significant?!
