When my x and I slept together, we did the same. He always slept the closest to the door/entrance. I always felt comfortable and protected, and liked it that way.
So any side is good for me, as long as its not closest to the doorway/entrance.

I prefer if I'm on the right and shes on the left.

I sleep to the left of her, even if we are other than at home, I just cant sleep the other way. Call me a creature of habit

I'm very surprised that no-one else has posted anything similar to my reasoning. I sleep on the right of my lady, for a very simple reason:

It puts her between me and the alarm clock. :D

I'm totally useless at getting up in the morning, so she sleeps furthest from the door/closest to the table with the alarm clock on it. The alarm will wake her up, then she wakes me up!

I have been known on many occasions to not only sleep through the alarm, but to roll over and turn it fully off (i.e. not just snooze) without waking at all. We now have two alarm clocks, one at the far end of the room, and a radio too...

Pure logisitics! :thumbsup:

I just want to be as far away from any light source as possible. So for me it is the right

i have to sleep closest to the door and she has to sleep closest to the window. This means every time we stay in a hotel I could invariably change which side of the bed I am on.

It's annoying but I've learned to live it with...

No real reason. Just started with me on the right and her on the left and has remained.

whichever side of the bed the clock radio/alarm clock/ waker-upper is on - -along with a lamp. I spent too much time in hotels, I don't have a side of the bed anymore.

I voted 'woman to left of man', but it changes. One side of the bed is always against a wall, and depending on who has to get up first in the morning, it changes rather regularly. I dunno. If i'm hot, I like sleeping next to the wall (left side) because i curl up against the wall because it's cooler. Otherwise, i choose the outside of the bed (right side) because i sometimes hang a leg over the edge for more room (my most recent lover liked his space lol).

Hmm, can't really answer that, depends on where I am (her place or mine) I always take wallside but that's just because for a 100lb girl she can shove me out of bed like a champ. Need the wall there to make sure I don't have to wakeup every half hour and crawl back on the bed :P

I always sleep on the left side. No particular reason, it just ended up that way...

When we lived in our apartment our bed was pushed against the wall on one side and it sucked so much ass! I always took the outside cuz I got up first. So that was me on his left. We only had a queen size bed then, and it was too small for both of us, so generally we slept in shifts. I slept nights and he slept days.

Now we have a house with a gigantic bedroom and we have our king size bed centered on the wall. Then we got to actually pick a side of the bed! We were excited and spent long seconds in contemplation! I'm on his right, he's to my left and that is the way it shall always remain.

She's gotta be on my left. No way around it.

Being the paranoid bastard that I am, I always sleep on the door side so that I have a clear shot at the doorway. Sight picture counts for a lot in dim-light situations.

my mom sleeps to the left of my dad.

jstrider liked the left and i had no preference, so we both slept on our stomachs (note: you did not have that as a choice) and him on the left of me.

and then a rare chance i had to kinda lie down for a bit with another boyfriend once, he chose the right side of the bed (like i said, i have no preference).

Mife wife sleeps to my left, but there was a point where she slept to my right... doesn't really matter that much to me.

I never had any idea there was a right-side, left-side tradition. I, like many others here, sleep on the outside so I don't have to climb over him in the middle of the night to go pee. Also because I get up earlier in the morning, so it makes sense. But another factor is that I tend to get claustrophobic if I feel trapped, so I also sit on the outside when we go to restaurants, etc.
