Which side of the bed do you usually get up on?

[NickyJ]

Besides simple curiosity, I'm also kind of interested how it relates to your political stances. (Do right-wing people usually get up on the right side, left-wing the left side, etc.)

 

[Virote_Considon]

Whichever side isn't against the wall. This varies depending on which house I am staying in.

 

[Joecoolyo]

The side with the ladder.

Bunks suck.

My wife occupies the right side of the bed, so its left for me, unless I want to troll her by climbing over her early in the morning.

I wake up on the top of the bed. The only way I could understand waking up on the left or right is if you fell off and woke up during the fall. But if you woke up on impact you wouldn't even be on the bed.

 

[warpus]

I hover straight up, through a hole in the ceiling, and into the shower in the attic.

 

[Core Imposter]

I have yellow crime scene tape strung from ceiling to floor on the left side of my bed. Its a no go zone.

 

[Carras Dad]

the side where there is no wall.

That.
Getting up at the other site usually hurts a bit.

Oh, right and left defined from
- lying at you back in the bed or
- standing at the foot end of the bed
?

Whichever side isn't against the wall.

Seems like such an obvious answer... and the way I do it. My cats, however, get up/off the bed any way they want. Sometimes they're civil about it and jump off the end (there's room enough for them to hop off next to the wall if that's their preference). But sometimes they use me for a springboard first, which tends to hurt a bit.

This.

Currently, that makes it the left side of my bed. When I lived on an air mattress in a small rented hovel, it was also the left side of my bed. When I lived in a college dorm, it was the right side of my bed. When I was in secondary school and living at my parents' house, it was also the right side of my bed.

WAITWAIT

Do we define this by standing at the foot of the bed and looking at it, OR from the prospective of the headboard? It changes my answer!

 

[Borachio]

Bed? What bed? I occasionally rise from my pile of leaves in the ditch, provided the day looks like being mild. Otherwise I just lie there till it's time to go back to sleep again.

 

[Zelig]

I do a backflip over my headboard.

 

[classical_hero]

I can only get up to the left, since to the right would hit a wall.

 

[shadowplay]

Whichever side the beautiful models aren't lying on.

[Borachio]

You could, you know, turn the bed round so your head is the other way. Assuming you ever felt like getting out of the "other side" from time to time.

 

[Zack]

Whichever side the beautiful models aren't lying on.

/Jollyroger

Whichever side the beautiful Dr. Ron Paul isn't lying on.

[MobBoss]

How do you define left/right in this instance. From the perspective of looking at the bed from the foot or from laying down on it on your back?

 

[Borachio]

Generally the latter. I would guess.

Does it make a difference? Or is that a naive question?


(Is this a naive question?)
