Do you have a “side of the bed” that you always sleep on? When you’re a couple, do you always take the same side of the bed, even when you’re away from home? If you’re just one, do sleep on one side or do you take the middle?
When I was married, we always took the same side of the bed, wherever we were, visiting someone or in a hotel. I was thinking back this morning and it always worked out that I was the one nearest the door, which was also nearest the bathroom. I don’t know why. I think it just worked out that way. I don’t recall ever discussing it. It just was. Even in motels and hotels. It just was.
After my divorce, I kept my side of the bed. I could have switched. I could have switched. I could have slept in the middle. I guess old habits die hard. I still sleep on the side closest to the bathroom; closest to the door. It’s a big bed but I never sleep in the middle. I could. I just don’t. Old habits. In fact, but I guess that might be a different reason, I usually put stuff next to me in the bed. I put my Kindle there or, like right now, I have my phone, my Kindle, and the laptop (well I’m using the laptop but I picked it up from next to me) next to me in bed. I could take the entire bed but I don’t. I think the next time I have to change beds I will just get a single bed. They take up less space and I won’t have to fill the other side of the bed with stuff.
I will get my mind back on track. I’ll make it stop wandering.
Okay, back to regularly scheduled blogging.

If I sleep on my right side, I face my wife. It’s always been this way …

That’s a great reason, Brian!

I switched sides when I moved to this house…I’d been a die-hard left-sider, and now I’m a right-sider, even in beds in hotels, etc. I think I naturally prefer the right side of the bed, but had defaulted to the left side of the bed when I had a girlfriend, as that left my right hand more accessible for whatever anyone might need it for.

Now that is an important consideration! 😉

My husband and always sleep on our own sides of the bed no matter where we are. When you enter the room I’m on the right, he’s on the left. I can’t sleep on the other side-it throws me off completely!

I think it’s funny how couples are like that. We get into a routine and anything that disturbs that throws us off!

I sleep on the right side and my OH sleeps on the same side as me, on my pillow. We do split at some stage in the night, but if we wake we stir the other one to regroup. I now find it hard to go to sleep if he’s not there.

Interesting how we choose a side and stick to it. We always sleep on the same side.
