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?
   

[kitten]

I'm an Arrow.  I get half the bed, and the cat gets the other half.

[purelife]

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.

[Sportsdude]

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?

[Sportsdude]

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

[purelife]

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.

[Lil Me]

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

[tenkani]

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

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

 

[Sportsdude]

woot that kid had tooo much sugar.  

[Isis]

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!
