ehh this is how i normally sleep

I sleep in weird positions all the time XD It's practically how I get to sleep.
Sometimes I sleep on my back with both my arms laying on either side of me, my hands above my head, sometimes it's facefirst into the pillow doing the same thing. One time, I curled up into a ball so tight, my knees were touching my forhead, but my head was still in it's proper position on the pillow.(This was when I was younger and I'd had a really terrible nightmare.)

haha! you must of been reeaaal tired to fall asleep face first oh yeah and i found a video of wierd sleep positions on you tube. search (yeah you guessed it) : wierd sleep positions.

OK well generally i go to sleep on my stomach but wake up on my back.

I sometimes curl into a ball also, not way tight but a bit.

Though a new sleeping position revelation has been discovered over the last few days. It seems when i go to sleep my brain kicks into "heat-dar" mode. This is when it scans for the nearest living heat source and moves towards it. This results in my cuddling up to and wrapping my arms around whoever is in my bed. Also if they are on the floor next to my bed, it seems i will fall off my bed to reach the heat source.

I fell asleep once on a love seat and my head was bent in towards my stomache with the back of my head squished up against the arm. It was pretty uncomfortable but I didn't really acknowledge the pain until I woke up.

I havn't really fell asleep in many weird positions I remember when I went to my Aunt and Uncle's house in seattle they had this Playhouse thing with a slide on it and stuff in the playroom and I put a love sac in the bottom part and slept in a ball under it. I remember when my sister use to sleep with her face down on the pillow with her knees to her chest and her arms around her knees that was a weird position.

I always sleep on my arms and then i wake up and they are all numb and for about 30 secs i can't feel them. I try to move my arm to the right and then i hear a loud bang and i find out that it was my arm flying in the opposite direction to where i wanted it to go and crashing into the wall, it's like it has a mind of it's own. Another thing that happens is i wake up and there are pins and needles in my hand (quite painful) and i can't clench a fist it's as if there is a bar inbetween my hand so what i do to stop this punch the crap into my hand which helps stop it cause if u leave it it gets worse.

Anyone else experience any of these?

I'm rarely aware of my exact position when I fall asleep. Generally I prefer to stretch out and straddle my bed (it's very narrow) which I feel like it'll prevent me from rolling off the side, plus I want to get the splits so I think "maaaaybe."

Sometimes I fall asleep in the passenger seat of a car and my head falls forward. The worse sleeping position I've ever been in was after falling asleep/passing out at a friend's party on a reclining chair. I'm not that heavy so the recliner straightened up in my sleep. I woke up with my head near the floor, my ass in the air (still on the recliner) and a bit of a head rush .

one night it was really hot, I somehow managed to roll off the bed without waking up, roll across the room, and lay my back on the floor arms and legs spread out

whats funny is my brother woke me up and hes just like wtf?

i once fell asleep my head hanging off the edge of my bed, laying on my back

Heck, just this morning I woke up facing the footboard instead of the headboard.

Ya i have a friend who sleeps in positions that look like completely normal waking positions.

Okay this is not a weird position by I think I have strained, well I know I have straigned my calf muscle! Last night I woke up in a huge amount of pain on my calm muscle! I don't know what I was dreaming about but it is killing today, been limping around the office all morning

I sleep like I'm in a coffin. On my back, with my arms across my body.
Though, other times, if I'm on the phone, I'll end up with my head where my feet should be, and fall asleep that way..

I sleep on my stomach, with one of my thumbs on my chin. Its the only way I can fall asleep for some reason.
