I recall reading many years ago that one sleeps more soundly when laying North/South (or was it East/West??).

In the bedrooms of our house one can sleep with head pointing North, South or East.

Which bedroom should I requsition, which for the kids? All much the same size.

Sort of like feng shui for insomniacs?

I just googled this sleep head pointing north and in three sites one said sleep with the head northerly, one said not to and the third said if you do you'll remember more dreams.

If you do as my sig VVVV it doesn't matter which you are pointing

Like hel_l. My husband snores like a freight train.

Anyway, just so you know, according to people here, Thai people don't like to sleep with their heads pointing west--that is the direction the dead body lays.

Hmmm.... maybe if I pointed his head west he might quieten down.......

Head pointing east is considered to be best, pointing west is an indicator of death.

May explain why i have a shit sleep sometimes(more than i want)

Usually in a northerly direction, on my back or my side, snoring loudly & occasionally waking up with saliva dribbling down my cheek.....

Have to agree, I think this 'what direction should I sleep' stuff is rubbish! Sometimes I sleep well, sometimes I don't. Nowt to do with the direction I'm facing!

North for me is always best

I sleep very well, no problems at all. Besides, those people deserved to die.

How Do You Sleep At Night?

Sounds like the John Lennon song that he wrote about Paul McCartney.

So Sgt. Pepper took you by suprise,

You better thru that mother's eyes,

Those freaks was right when they said you was dead,

The one mistake you made was in your head,

How do you sleep?

Ah how do you sleep at night?

You live with straights who tell you you was king,

Jump when your mamma tell you any thing,

The only thing you did was yesterday,

And since your gone you're just another day,

How do you sleep?

Ah how do you sleep at night?

A pretty face may last a year or two,

But pretty soon they'll see what you can do,

The sound you make is muzak to my ears,

You must have learnt something all thos years,

How do you Sleep?

Ah how do you sleep at night?

I am stuck in a room on an oil rig with a <deleted> snoring sea lion, I want to kill him! I hate it all...why oh why is life so bad. 2 days no sleep!

I hate you all.

I find I lose consciousness more often than I sleep.

So personally I find I pass out in the nearest available space.

There was a lot of bitterness there eh? What a shame.

Just imagine them all alive and doing one of those "super concerts" with friends, like Clapton and Springsteen do. Sigh.

So, if I want to sleep heading North - which seems favorite - I may sleep better?

The reason for asking was that, returning from Saudi for a couple of weeks, I found it very difficult to sleep at all. Now, when I should be back in Saudi, I am sleeping fairly well (for me).

But having lost my passport in the day or two prior to leaving, I find I'm on a couple of weeks unpaid vacation. So I put the better sleep down to being out of Sandland.

And I blame it all on Yoko.

Sleep is for poofs.

If i got lucky, with a HUGE grin on my face.

Horizontally works for me. Try it sometime, you'll be pleasantly surprised

I am stuck in a room on an oil rig with a <deleted> snoring sea lion, I want to kill him! I hate it all...why oh why is life so bad. 2 days no sleep!

I hate you all.

I guess you've already tried earplugs or listening to music in headphones?

I met Ms Ono when i was sweet 16. She did not offer me any sleeping tips however.

Im a bed/cover hogger.

I close my eyes and drift off......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well not to give away all my sleeping things - i curl up on my left in my jammies with one cat in front and the other behind. and i dont know if i an north or south or chaweng

Old joke:

New guy arrives on an oil rig and they put him in a room with a grizzled old rigger. First night, old rigger snores up a storm and the new guy can't sleep for the noise. Next morning he looks exhausted and is determined to get a good nights sleep. Same deal, old rigger snores all night and the new guy can't sleep. He tries stuffing a pillow over his head, over the riggers head, using ear plugs, playing music and nothing works. Each day it is getting worse and he looks a wreck. Finally after a week the foreman asks him what is wrong and he tells him "the old rigger in my cabin snores like a bull seal all night and I can't sleep. I spend all night awake and he sleeps like a baby". Hmmm says the foreman - this is what you have to do and whispers into the young guys ear. The young rigger says "you're joking" Foreman says "guaranteed to work" So that night the young rigger goes to bed and next morning wakes up refreshed and full of vigor. Starts work and the other guys look at him and see he's happy and whistling and then look at the old rigger who is looking harried and obviously not slept all night. One walks over to the young rigger and asks what happened. The young bloke says "I took the foreman's advice and slept the whole night through" The other riggers ask what advice did the foreman give - young bloke says "well when it was time to go to bed, I walked over to the old riggers bunk tucked him in, kissed him on the cheek, and said "Night sweetie" - the old b@rstard stayed awake all night in case I pounced on him and I got to good nights sleep."

Dontcha hate that? You know that I know what you are talking about.

It is especially frustrating when it is the guy in the next cabin, but anyway night shift never looks so sweet as when you are in that situation.

BTW CC I am working on our earlier discussions matey.

(Having just escaped the offshore life I find I am still on somewhat of a bender, as you do)

Normally to the north, but not sure if I've been drinking

Usually in a northerly direction, on my back or my side, snoring loudly & occasionally waking up with saliva dribbling down my cheek.....

Hmmm.. lets hope it's saliva eh....
