Do you like to sleep on your back, side, or belly?

We asked our Citizen Scientists what sleeping position they found most comfortable. 

11,874 participants reported back.

69% of our respondents prefer sleeping on their side, which is known as “lateral sleeping.” The next most popular sleeping position was “on my back,” reported by 14% of our Citizen Scientists. 

Over 1,500 participants reported sleeping on their stomachs or in the “prone” position, which represented 13% of those surveyed. Only 3% of our nearly twelve thousand participants surveyed had no sleeping position preference.
