Having regulated sleep is good. From both my experience and talking to other people (including ones with mental issues), having regulated,scheduled sleep is very beneficial for your physical and mental health. Most importantly it benefits your mood.

Now, I lost my regulated sleep, and it shows. My mood went downhill and here I'm writing this thread in sample text on a phone. You can tell that something is wrong when I start to be more social and  suseptible to emotions which is opposed to autonomous and problem solving attitude. Also when I came home  this Friday my mom told me that my face is green.

Anyway, I wanted to ask whether you sleep on your back or side and whether sleeping on back improves your posture.

Main sleeping position for me is on my back because of back pain

My bed is too soft though so I usually sleep on my stomach to ease the pain

I see. I'm tried to sleep on my back recently, and I have hard time falling asleep, but I'm patient. My back hurts as well, and it also sometimes hurts when I try to sleep on it, so I guess I have problems with my posture already. Before that I was sleeping on my sides.

Like cats sometimes do. Maybe I should learn from them. Cats are smarter than human anyway, and are professional sleepers.

I sleep with my back raised up on a mountain of pillows.

Still on my side though.

Interesting, I assumed people mostly sleep on a side, and least on a stomach. Since you mentioned that all positions have downsides, can you tell me what do you think they are? Asking because I'm trying to figure what is best for me.

sleeping on your side is all right i guess, i just personally don't find it very comfortable

sleeping on your stomach can (apparently) lead to back/neck pain, since your head has to be turned, so your spine won't be in a neutral position--i've slept this way for my whole life, though, and i've never had an issue

if this position is impossible, or if i just wanna mix it up (or going through a depressive episode), the fetal position has proven to be remarkably comfortable as well, but if your joints aren't perfectly relaxed, it can lead to soreness

sleeping on your back is EXTREMELY uncomfortable, makes snoring worse, exacerbates sleep apnea if you have it, and is more likely to induce sleep paralysis, which i happen to suffer from regularly, so it's an absolute 100% no-go for me

if we could just float in a bubble or a puffy cloud while suspended in midair or something, that would be ideal

beds suck

Your bed might just be too soft
People sleep on their stomach sometimes because of it

I tend to sleep on my right side,  that way I can watch porn (left handed masturbator) and not drop my phone on my face like when I lay on my back and then just fall asleep after I nutt.
Of course if my rampant alcoholism is causing another acid reflux flare up then having my stomach above my throat is a bad move and I'll roll over to my left side to alleviate that problem.

I'm dead fucking tired as I type this at 2230 but im going to stay up drinking beer and farming gacha games because I don't work tomorrow, but otherwise this is where I'd be going to bed (by which I mean just getting in to bed, gotta jerk off before I actually go to bed) for a barely functional 5-530 wake up which consists of multiple snooze buttons, rubbing one out, and then barely not falling down the stairs to shit and shower for the day before leaving for work and totes showing up a half hour late all the time but lmao it doesn't fucking matter because this is Comcast.

I sleep on the side.
