I sleep on my right side usually to start with my arm up under my head and a pillow between it and my head. After 3 to 4 hours I usually wake up roll over to the other side then sleep the rest of the night. Unfortunately some mornings I wake up without moving at all with an arm that feels like its paralyzed. Oddly that usually only happens when sleeping directly follows heavy drinking.
When drunk, you sleep VERY deeply and don't feel that your arm is pinned beneath you; and so you don't move, meaning that blood flow gets cut off long enough to paralyze it.
What's strange is when you somehow manage to do that with a leg, which rightfully shouldn't happen, but which I've had happen several times.
I usually sleep on my side or on my belly with my arm tucked under my pillow. course sometimes my husky will sneak her way next to me and try to kick me off the bed; she's succeeded a few times, too.
I sleep on my side, all curled up, head tucked down to my knees. I’ve had people joke that I walk three times in a circle before lying down too. Must be the canine in me. :P
It’s actually quite useful, since this sleeping position allows me to curl up in a chair in the staff lounge at the hospital during slow night shifts, and in bus/train/plane seats during long travels. I can sleep anywhere. ;)
Side or stomach most often. It has to be the right bed, or sometimes a couch for me to sleep on my back, otherwise it's uncomfortable. I shift positions a ton though.
