Do people who are in couples always sleep on the same side of the bed, both at home & away? And if so, which sides?

We do. I sleep on the left side (with Henry to my right) and we keep that arrangement when we travel, though there was a time when I slept on the right because that let Henry sleep furthest from the door (and against the wall)(he is still furthest from the door at home, but is not always when we travel and was not in the last house we lived in before this one where he was still on the right side, so the the leftness and rightness has outlasted any other reason, it would seem (neither of us has been against the wall since we bought this bed, however, which is something like 8 years?)). I would kind of like to break out of it, because while I toss and turn quite a bit, I was told at some point that sleeping on my left side is beneficial in some way so I tend to at least try to do that, which means turning my back to DH when I don't mean to be unfriendly, just trying to get comfortable, but habit is a very strong force that I'm not sure I want to mess with for no real reason.

In case anyone is wondering, not on Ambien right now, just rambly.

The ~ma is strong, y'all. My mother called me and asked if she could change her mind about coming to the bday party tomorrow. This is as close as she'll get to apologizing, so I'm calling it a win. Thanks for having my back.

Oh, yay! Sounds like a win to me, Vortex.

Hey, from a mom, especially a stressed out one? That *is* a win. Glad to hear it too.

Really? You don't sprawl across every available bit of mattress? I always do when I have the bed to myself. I only ever had single beds before H, so there was no real question of which side to sleep on when I was single.

From what I've read, the biggest hurdle with medical marijuana is that you have to smoke it, which makes politicians twitchy.

Well, you can vaporize it, but that's a lot like smoking

In California you can get it medically to smoke, vapourize, or eat.

Good on her. It's hard having to accept that it's the best you'll get, sometimes, but I'm glad you got it.

For whatever reason, we switch sides when away. It's very odd.

I always sleep on the right side, JZ on the left.
