I find it difficult to sleep on my back. I used to sleep on my side but I think that lead to a bit of QL aggravation.
Super cosy sleeping on my front though.

QL ??
sorry - quadratus lumborum. A deep abdominal muscle which tends to cause complaints of lower back pain when its tight.
quadratus lumborum
Holy shit that's the bastard that hurts and tightens when I don't walk around enough or I lay on the sofa too long on my back.
When I get up my back will be bent forward and tight. It feels so tight round the back and inside it feels like I'm shorter at the waist. Weird, horrible feeling. It goes away if I pivot round on my hips and walk round a bit.
I've found what aggravates it most is if I'm on my back and have my legs up. Basically the more L-shaped my body is on it's side or back (legs up) the worse it gets. If I do lots of walking or running it loosens it up.
Motherfucking QL - I see you now you bastard. I know where you live! I know what you look like! I'm gonna fuck you up!

I've always wanted to be able to sleep on my side whilst hugging some kind of stuffed animal but to no avail. Ever since my SO gifted me a stuffed penguin toy that's large enough to fit in my arms and server as a pseudo-pillow, I've been loving sleeping on my side and have been really comfortable doing so too. I'm the middle spoon most of the time then. :D
Sleeping on my back is best though

Whenever my stomach hurts i'll remember some recommendation that you're supposed to sleep on your left or right side.
But I never remember which so I just rotate back and forth
Oh good, I’m not the only one who rotates in their sleep like a rotisserie chicken
I can't sleep on my back, if I do, my SO would probably murder me. So I sleep on my side.
I used to sleep on my stomach some years ago, but there were too many things I had to get just right before I could be comfortable enough to sleep, and frankly, my SO doesn't give me enough space to do that most nights.
I did a sleep study recently and I'm waiting on their analysis, so hopefully I'll get better sleep soon. I'll be sure to ask the doctor about what position isn't going to create more problems.

Front sleeping is the worst of these by quite a long way though. Last time I did it (after some drinks) it cost me a month of physio.
left side it is then. My favorite!
Back to work peasant!
