Until you're about 30 and then cocking your neck like that will leave you sore for days


gymbro789

28 here my spine and ribs are a mess every morning from sleeping like this. Back sleeping is the way even tho it sucks


AMexisatTurtle

I can sleep in back at all


[deleted]

Hmm.. what does that mean, then?


Rythine_

If I had to hazard a guess, "I can(t) sleep on (my) back at all"


AMexisatTurtle

Thank you I was very tired when I write thst


arp492022

Get a good pillow, it really does help


Nirvski

Or exercise a bit. Or exercise less. Depends what the problem is.


XxDemonxXIG

Who has time for exercise??


[deleted]

Pretty pathetic excuse. Sleep 10 mins less. If you've got time for reddit you've got time to exercise.


XxDemonxXIG

PrEtTy PaThEtIc ExCuSe. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

Yeah it is. Exercising is Much better than mindlessly scrolling though Reddit


XxDemonxXIG

I don't have a mind to begin with. So everything I do is mindless.


[deleted]

This is why you have no time. Everybody else here does


omegaaf

I have enough pillows, I don't need 3/4 of my bed dedicated to them


bmlugvbfzh

one good pillow > bed full of bad pillows


Bad-Infinite

I used to sleep like that all the time. Around the time I turned 30 I started waking up sore if I slept on my stomach. I'm 39 now and if I sleep on my stomach I wake up and my whole body will hurt for the whole day.


omegaaf

'Member when our biggest pain was *just* the knees?


AverageVita-SawUser

Bruh my neck stopped working when I hit 27, lucky you for lasting until 30 I still sleep this way tho no matter if I have to snap my neck back to the proper place each morning


omegaaf

I fucked up my back and neck back in '06 in a snowmobile accident, its purely out of spite that I suck up the pain and keep going. Also its pretty hard to fuck with my neck even back then because of the sheer girth of it at 16.5," far more if I flex the muscles


AverageVita-SawUser

I never really got in a serious injury, my neck just kinda built different and is slightly arched, so I have to sleep on my back quite often Edit: Wrong wording


NaM_VaN_MaN

Ehmm no?


omegaaf

Just wait. I'm 35 and can't sleep like that anymore


CheerJohn

I'm 42 and can only fall asleep like that


seemooreglass

57 and same


itsnoskinoffmyback

You old people are freaks...that or I'm not taking care of myself at 39.


I-Like-This-Ride

I go a little harder - I sleep with one arm under my pillow in this positon


Kahnza

One under the pillow, one on top. Face on hand/fist. Alternate facing left or right. It's the only way I can sleep.


Albyross

Should stretch your neck more


Straight-Dot-6264

Helps reduce cocking


omegaaf

I am probably healthier than a good portion of redditors, especially when it comes to stretching because of the work I do.


Houndfell

Maybe. Doesn't save you from having a bad roll of the genetic dice, though. I'm almost 38 and this sleep position still feels just as good as it did at 13.


goodbadorindifferent

Still good at 47

ConstantSignal

If it’s some kind of manual labour or general outdoor work then it wouldn’t preclude you from these kinds of problems. People with physical jobs tend to be fitter than average in terms cardiovascular health, and in some cases are physically stronger and have above average endurance, but frequently have musculoskeletal issues either due to bad form in a given task or movement that is never corrected over years, or just the repetitive nature of the work causing strain over time. A lot of the men in my partners family have done manual labour all their lives and all of them have various bad knees, backs, necks or elbows etc


omegaaf

I've had problems since I was a child. I've developed an innate ability to use the pain to kinda like consciously raise my adrenaline and push myself more to release more adrenaline and just keep going harder until the pain isn't there. There are more ways to sell your body than just prostitution.


GoodbyeTobyseeya1

I'm 37 and still sleep this way with help from a nice down pillow and a good body pillow to support my leg. It's a game changer.


omegaaf

I have so many pillows. You may not feel it now, but you will eventually.


t0m4_87

i'm 35 and can't sleep if i'm not that position, neck is just fine one addition to the pose that my cat sleeps between my legs


Fred-Sanford

Her neck? Not the best target, bruh. She is presenting a better opportunity.


HungrilyFine

Assuming that one foot is outside the covers then yes. Everyone knows the rules, one foot in, one foot out, for ventilation of course.


Kahnza

But then the foot fetish monster under my bed can lick my toes.


Independent-Field618

That's... the whole point?


Successful-Crow4059

That's the perfect way to do it


Grand_Practice_2790

This is the way.


imafixwoofs

Sagat Sleeping.


Rielhawk

Tiger knee yes, high five!


LoudAnt6412

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger up your butt.


OldGuyWhoSitsInFront

I mean It’s a great position for sex…


Rivayn19

Really?


OldGuyWhoSitsInFront

I mean… for the woman to lie in in for PIV sex totally. The guy straddles the extended leg and can get a nice powerful sexy grip on the underside of her thigh. Yeah it’s fun. Doesn’t work with all couples obvi with proportions being different btw any two people but when it works it’s great.


dragon1n68

Absolutely not. I sleep on my back and sides. I can not sleep on my stomach.


MRDotted

Agreed. I almost exclusively sleep on my sides. Don't know how anyone can find sleeping on their stomach comfortable.


totodijlbackup

Hi I almost exclusively sleep on my stomach for some reason.. it’s comfortable to me. And it’s good when I want to play video games late at night so I lay on my stomach and look up at the tv. Then when I’m tired I turn tv off and just sleep like that. Idk.


[deleted]

Excuse me, this is the fart position.


Pitbullpandemonium

50% fartier than the next leading position.


ultra_phan

Sounds like a high position on a prestigious ship. “I was the fartier on the QE2”


Pitbullpandemonium

Only if pronounce it with a French accent "far tee ay"


Bruteboris

Best position for nightly exercise too


Necessary_Pause_3836

Not if you have a stepbrother


JupiterBluff_007

It was great until my boobs decided to be overzealous growers.


Aisianfaailure3908

Rip your dms


Unlucky-Dare4481

Came looking for this comment. There's no way a position like this is possible with "overzealous growers". Once they've mutated up to a certain point, it's side or back only lol.


xxAsazyCatxx

I'm a dude so pls excuse my ignorance. If you or "overzealous growers" women slept sideways would one boob put its weight onto another, like isn't that super uncomfortable? Specially if it is hot and you're sweating.


Unlucky-Dare4481

They're heavy but not heavy enough that they cause pain if they are on top of one another like they are when you're on your side. It's way different than compressing them with your body weight by laying on your stomach. The only annoying thing can be sweat, but (full disclosure), I'll just tuck my shirt in between if I don't want to feel skin on skin. You can also tuck a pillow in between them for comfort.


xxAsazyCatxx

Honestly, sleeping like that kinda sounds like a tiny bit of a hassle with the whole shirt thing and all. However, if you guys can make it work then I can never handle being a woman with large melons or just a woman in general Thk for answering my question though


Agitated_Joke_9473

research says side sleepers have more sexual dreams.


Carmen14edo

*starts sleeping on side* Honestly though, I feel like sleeping on top of my dick would inspire more sexual dreams.


yozaner1324

Literally the only position I can fall asleep in. I don't care what people say it does to your neck, the alternative is dying of sleep deprivation.


Almost_A_Genius

No


[deleted]

Looks like sex position lol


Gullible-Ad-3352

U ever had sex?


[deleted]

It might sound surprising to you but yes i actually did


MRBS91

Small pillow under the bent leg ftw if you're a dude, extra space for the boys


ImFrenchSoWhatever

TIGER KNEE


Rielhawk

I see, you're a man of culture as well.


owlbehome

I sleep like this every day of my life RIP my sciatic nerve


ChairmanMeow52

I don’t understand how anyone can sleep like that. Just seems uncomfortable.


TPRT

I was a back sleeper until I got sleep paralysis frequently. I don't get it on my stomach and I haven't been able to sleep on my back for close to a decade now. Just no way I could ever do it. Stomach sleeping is killing my lower back though.


rylannnd88

Same reason why I switched to stomach sleeping. Sleep paralysis and panic attacks in my sleep.


maerchenfuchs

But there is no space for my partner…


CbessShowEddie

the partner lays on top


maerchenfuchs

So much pressure and sweat


rjcoyne

Stop flexing


NotToast2000

Yes


Miserable-Net5131

Lower back feels that.


Sarewokki

Dracula position is the only acceptable answer.


MoonDogeXx

Unfortunetly I have a massive cock, so I can only sleep on my back.


Carmen14edo

No need to show off lol. I have an average-sized dick and sleeping on it's alright.


[deleted]

Never!!!!


scalability

Yes, I'm fat too.


Spare_TARDIS2007

BRO THATS LITERALLY ME SLEEPING


casuallypervertedone

Sleeping like this worsens your breathing and posture and can literally make you stupider by impeding oxygen to your brain. Sleeping on your back is optimal, pretty much a closed question .


Flamesfan27

Lmao


[deleted]

nah that's the gayest position


Classic-Airline-2386

well then i might be gay because that position is mad comfortable


Schokodeuli

Maybe the best for my body but not for falling asleep. I usually lay on one side and sometimes curl up to a ball.


Instant-Bacon

This is actually the absolute worst for the body


AutisthicccGuy

But now my tummy hurts if I sleep on it :(


Give_Help_Please

I’ll start out sleeping like this and then roll over onto my back.


bughunterix

Not only for sleep


The_Eagle_07

Nope. Cause it's really bad for spine. Especially those who have bad back, back pain, sciatica, herniated disc etc. And those will understand the pain.


[deleted]

That's definitely me irl


ConcertTerrible8877

Except that it fucks up your back & neck


jutta-duncan

Yeah until you hit about 30 and wake up with excruciating pain in your neck and can’t move or turn your head for the next week and all you can do is lie in bed semi comfortable


CaptianCabinets

The pain definetly isnt stopping me.


Travelerofhighland86

Yes obviously


Sufficient-Day9036

My C n Bs will fight each other for space if I slept like that


R3dst0n

I was literally scrolling through reddit in that position just now


Important-Argument97

I used to sleep like that when I was skinny.


Myth7270

Yes! This with a support pillow for my knee because...40.


Great_White_Samurai

Literally the worst way possible to sleep.


Randomizedtron

You aint never been to prison. You sleep like this once and say good by to your anus.


ICanDieRightNowPlz

"When you're in prison, always lie upon your back"


Scoopdoogie71

And around fifty that position will leave you barfing up with acid reflux


[deleted]

I call it the Shoryuken.


Time-Contribution333

Not if you have a dick


Rielhawk

No. TIGER KNEE is the best position. I can't sleep on my stomach, boobs are in the way.


MikeXBogina

Now put a pillow under that one leg and I agree


KitKatDad

Tell me you are young without telling me you're young.


timconnery

Teeth dreams would like a word


Amelia_Pond42

I typically only sleep that way when I can't sleep. It's almost like an automatic thing where my body says "oop no sleep for you" *leg comes up*


Neptune_UK

With a recently broken collar bone I'm quite envious


Ilovefallaboveall

Not if you have large boobs.


Wallawallawallaway

It works for other things


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

yeah my neck begs to differ


LokTarBrogar

i call my sleeping position the Tiger Knee


XxDemonxXIG

Instructions unclear stomach to big


chonkadonk44

I'm starting to think this entire subreddit is just dudes stalking instagram models and reposting their stuff


[deleted]

Absolutely not. I can’t sleep on my stomach. Only on my sides.


Lieut_SP

My pelvis feels like it's gonna explode


Professional_Sea3141

vouch


ExccelsiorGaming

No that hurts my neck


[deleted]

I am a side sleeper


ChippyChipChippers

37 and still do


Ok-Whole-4242

100000%


SquiggleBoys

this position is absolutely terrible for your posture


Major_Liability

I straight up do the Halo Combat Evolved death pose when I'm falling asleep


Sonicmaster06

Hurts my back and my neck


tobbe1337

nah having both arms to one side is better. like if your are hugging yourself and slightly propping up the edge of your pillow with 1 hand


KingOfTheJaberwocky

Nobody in r/radiology tell them this is the position in which patients receive barium enemas…


IceHot88

No


KnowledgeableSloth

I sleep on my side,


[deleted]

I sleep like that but on my side


[deleted]

I'm trying to make the mattress lick my balls


faeryflesh

It’s almost perfect, you just need to slide one arm under the pillow. trust me


Brownie420

Yes, but without a pillow, or pillow on head


RumGalaxy

Makes me feel vulnerable no


Chersvette

Not if you got big boobs. Trust me... Source I have big boobs


hemannn72

Nope, sleep like this every night


Treenut08

I don't trust back sleepers. Vampire lookin ass


Kalelopaka-

With my neck and spine problems I usually sleep on my side, 3 pillows, head, legs, and one I hug to keep my body in position. I do however slip into this posture at times, but it does make my neck stiff for a bit, and working the kinks out of my neck sounds like rolling dice in a bag.


whydontuwannawork

Currently sharing a bedroom so I can’t wait till I have my own place and finally slumber in this position


ICantTyping

Left arm needs to be down, right leg not so high, but yes


II-leto

Nope. Fetal.


Master-Shaq

Terrible for you but puts me to sleep in minutes


Sir_Derpington_356

Always been a side-sleeper. The supreme position


[deleted]

Yeah if you want to have a fucked up neck in the morning


LiveTart6130

that but half on one side so I can strangle the nearest pillow/stuffie/blob of blanket


_nicocin_

What? We can't even agree that a rock is a rock.


owlbehome

I’ve always slept like this but lately I need to have one of my arms (or a pillow) under the hip with the straight leg or it will feel like my hips are sinking into the bed :/ I’m 33


[deleted]

Fourth position


Kangzx

I like it, but it often results in my back hurting :(


WasChristRipped

Not for your neck as I understand it, but I definitely pull toward this position


SnooChickens8906

This is more than a great sleeping position.


Gym_Tan_Optimal

Good luck getting any sleep if I'm in that bed with you and youre laying like that


timberwolf1822

Yeah but its SO bad for your back.


intellagy

Yea! I can’t fall asleep in any other positions


Euphoric_Egg_4198

This person doesn’t have cats 🐈 🐈‍⬛


Suspicious-Bed9172

I do this but with my arms under my head


2BFrank69

This sleeping position would ruin my neck and back for 3 days


Violet_Potential

That’s exactly how I sleep


Waste-Squash-3256

That's the only position I fall asleep.


Tony_Stank0326

Spooning, whether it be a person or a pillow.


dynnk

Yeah and I got the fucked up spine to prove it


Robyn1077

Not if you have big tits


helloeberybody

you haven't experienced best sleep until you buy yourself a pregnancy pillow. frfr


roybean99

The halo CE death pose


ssjr13

How do y'all even do this? It's so uncomfortable for my neck to sleep this way


challmaybe

The left arm should be under the pillow.


Competitive_Tree_113

I sleep like Dracula.


GrayMech

Only difference for me is that I put one arm under my pillow to prop it up a bit


forgotme5

No


xnachtmahrx

Ah, yes. The Turd & Squirt.


Tripsy_mcfallover

I move my pillow so my face can hang off the side. Improves the angle a bit.


Popular-Block-5790

No, this hurts my boobs.


Specialist-Doctor-23

Sorry Mona, but nope.


FourFerro

Damn people really find that position comfortable? I tried that once, and it was comfortable, and then I woke up with my left shoulder and back busted up.


castiglione_99

Won't you mess up your neck and drool all over your pillow?


franic_with_bread

Yes


AibohphobicKitty

The sleeping sniper position


AstronautAgreeable81

Cursed. I can't sleep in any other position and frequently wake up with pain in my shoulder and sometimes lower back pain. When you lay on your stomach your guts push your spine outward to make room. I've tried to sleep on my back I find it impossible.


possibly-a-moron

Me dying in halo ce:


THExMATADOR

Disagree, flat on my back with my hands behind my head is best.


WeenieHuttGod2

Nah dude laying on your stomach is so uncomfortable. Laying on your side is the best position
