My immediate response: I lay down and close my eyes.

Seriously: I usually lay on my left side. I prefer to lay on my right side, but my right hip has something wrong that causes pain if I lay on it (or walk too far). I'll sometimes roll over and wake up in way too much pain.

If you mean quality: horribly
If you mean position: I usually fall asleep on my side, or on my back turned to the side a bit. But I move a lot before and during sleep. :P

On my side, the right one usually, but it depends where the door is...i sleep facing doors. I know, it's childish.

I actually block mine.

I have rational reasons for doing this. I have no lock on my door and people have mistakenly walked into my room on multiple occasions.

I sleep on my right side facing the door too.

I used to only be able to sleep by putting my head under the covers. I started doing that one winter to keep warm and it became a part of my self-suffocating routine. But in summer this was impossible to do.

For health reasons I don't do it anymore.

I usually sleep on my right side, however in the Summer I sleep on my left side which is scientifically proven to provide the lungs with more oxygen, enabling better sleep. My window is usually open ajar in the Summer. I sleep from 10pm until 6am whilst school is occurring and 12am/1am until 9am/10am during the school holidays.

Partly on my stomach, and a little on my side. Which side varies depending on m light avoidance needs for the evening.

On my back. I seem to need less sleep than my wife. 6 hours a night is sustainable, 7 is more optimal.

On my stomach, with my head turned to the right. Usually my arms are bent underneath me.

I start out switching between sides as I'm falling asleep, but I roll onto my back in my sleep. Then when I'm waking up in the morning, I switch between sides again.

Usually on my left side, sometimes on my back. I prefer many large pillows. I also need to be covered.
