What's your position, LM?

Lil Me

Tummy tuck, but I migrate and wake up in a Frankenstein.  Mr LM likes to spoon, but I push him away in my sleep, because he's too warm.
 
 What's everyone else?

I'm an Arrow.  I get half the bed, and the cat gets the other half.
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

I like to sleep on my side in a somewhat fetal position.  I don't like it when my guy cuddles up with me too, Lil Me because he's so warm.  So, we often just cuddle for a few minutes before we start to sweat!  hee hee... I'm a light sleeper and often wake up when he starts to cuddle up with me in the middle of the night.  I don't mind it too much but sometimes, I can't go back to sleep.

a mix between tummy tuck and frankenstein. Except on frankenstein I have my arms out more not straight down.

Anyone use a body pillow?

Between your thighs I mean?
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

Sportsdude

yeah since I was a little kid, knees start to hurt otherwise.

Yes.  I did until I slept on a better bed. I used to have 4 pillows.  One for head, two for the two sides and one for the legs.  On occasion, I use a pillow for my thighs/legs.

  You are not alone, tenkani. I'm here if you ever want to put me in between your thighs. ;)

I had a body pillow for many years.  Now I just use the herd of polar bears.

  Um...somehow I had imagined it going a different way, but ok, you talked me into it.

I start off in the fetal position...roll to the back...fetal otherside...roll to back....half frankie in the morning!

  My guys just loves sleeping next to me!

  He's a cuddler too...doesn't go well with me either...he's too hot at night!
If you say "plz" because it's shorter than "please", then I'll say "no" because its shorter than "Yes"
