DH lost his license before we met so it seems weird when he is on my left side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389496 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 15:23:09 +0000 Mrsbells 389496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be on the driver side, but when LO was born put the crib on the passenger side, so i moved to sleep there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389460 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 15:12:46 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 389460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Driver's side, but I'm not super particular about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389444 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 15:09:06 +0000 boiledpnut 389444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sleep furthest from the door wherever we are. So right now it's the passenger side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389403 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:53:13 +0000 JerricaBenton 389403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Driver's side. It's kinda sad because my husband likes the driver's side too but I can't sleep otherwise so I won. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389397 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:51:49 +0000 Turd Ferguson 389397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Passenger siiiiide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389389 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:50:30 +0000 chopsuey 389389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Driver's side. Only because we sleep with our heads at the foot of the bed. I don't know why we started doing this.. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389312 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:25:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 389312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Passenger side, but only recently. We switched sides because we pushed our bed against a wall so that E could sleep between me and the wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389301 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:17:52 +0000 sarac 389301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Driver's side, forever. </p> <p>When we went to buy zip-together sleeping bags, they came in male and female versions. The only ones they had in stock had us on the wrong sides, but we didn't want to wait. So now when we go camping we go crazy being on the wrong side and all different and it makes me nuts. Some things you just don't mess with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389273 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:07:23 +0000 Bao 389273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Passengers side! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389194 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:40:20 +0000 .twist. 389194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Passengers side. DH is pretty protective. He likes to sleep closest to the door in case an intruder came in they'd have to go through him to get to me. *eye roll* LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389186 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:35:19 +0000 singingbee 389186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: if it is a long trip, he will drive, but if it is around town, he likes me to drive. I think it is because he commutes for a few hours every couple of days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-389108 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 13:06:16 +0000 ladyfingers 389108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL driver's side! I wonder if this says anything about me...</p> <p>What's funny about this, is DH calls it the bedcar because he used to pretend his bed was a car when he was a kid. So when I'm feeling sad or grumpy, he'll be like, "Do you want to drive the bed car?" like it'll make me feel better lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388944 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 12:11:33 +0000 MrsTiz 388944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>passenger! I just thought about it and in every bed/house i've ever slept in I always am on the side closest to the door! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388856 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:48:31 +0000 Alivoo01 388856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Passenger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388849 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:45:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 388849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: oh that is a bummer!! see I have longer legs than DH even though he is taller! the carseat is behind his seat (the drivers side) but there seems to be more leg room on the drivers side regardless...<br /> It took a LONG time for DH to see the error of his was while driving. It was the only thing we fought about while we were dating. He is a born and bred NYer and they are known for their aggressive and heartless driving. He took it a step further because his brother is a cop and he always got off scotch free. One time though he got pulled over and the cop didn't fall for his "brother of a cop" card trick, and he got ticketed for three violations! Then he missed his court date because he got off work late and traffic was bad. I was kind of happy hahaha he was soo mad at me though. Anyway it taught him a little then I moved him to the calmer midwest and he's improved. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388845 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:44:40 +0000 tororojo 388845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Driver's side! Mainly because we have mirrored doors on our closet and they're on that side--I use the mirror a lot more than DH! Otherwise I think we'd switch because it's closer to the living room and further from the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388835 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:41:34 +0000 MamaMoose 388835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Oh I am for sure a better/safer driver than hubs. And any impartial 3rd party witness would agree with that. But he fails to see that. I think it makes him feel less manly to be driven around by his wifey!! And honestly now that we've installed the car seat I really can't win because we put it behind the passenger seat (wouldn't get level in the middle) so hubs just can not get comfortable on the passenger side because he's 6'6"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388790 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:24:05 +0000 Foodnerd81 388790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on the passenger side (and DH does always always drive-- I hate driving and avoid it any time I can). But the location is due to the proximity to the door/bathroom. I must sleep closer to the bathroom (which is also closer to the door, in our current apartment). so it switches based on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388782 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:17:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 388782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: for real?!?! I love driving and I'm a much better driving than DH. For our first two years of marriage (well, up until my last month of pg really) I was driving all the time. I let him start driving when I was too pg to be comfortable and now he is in the habit of driving mostly... but I still prefer to drive. He is so distracted. And OBSESSED With being on his phone while driving and he cannot multi task so I don't think he realizes how dangerous he is being. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388768 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:13:01 +0000 mrs. wagon 388768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: hehe. Sometimes if we're away from home, we switch and I wake up TOTALLY disoriented and freaked out! Whenever we switch I get disoriented for a few days and then I get used to it. We move around our furniture a lot so I'm used to switching to be further from the door, then I had to switch when I was pregnant both times :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388764 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:12:40 +0000 MamaMoose 388764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: This shocks me! I have to fight tooth and nail for my husband to let me drive when we are together! Even when we go in my car!! It makes me bonkers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388757 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:10:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 388757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: bahahha it totally took me a couple seconds to get that!!!</p> <p>Drivers side!! Does it say something about your relationship??</p> <p>@mrs. wagon: that's SO weird that you can switch. DH and I switched sides once and I was waking up every half hour. I cannot sleep on the opposite side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388748 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:08:14 +0000 wheres_c 388748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drivers side. It's closest to the bathroom, and the door. </p> <p>Plus I cant fit in the space between the wall and the bed on the other side anymore :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388541 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:40:08 +0000 lemondrop 388541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Passenger, but it is new for us since I recently moved the bed. We had to switch sides so I am closer to the door and baby, can hear him better and my husband hears him less and sees less light from the living room, and so the dog stops jumping on his legs when he jumps on the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388534 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:36:03 +0000 singingbee 388534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Driver's side. Ha! Hubby does prefer for me to drive if we are both going somewhere. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388530 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:35:20 +0000 MamaMoose 388530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does this say something about your relationship? Do I get to tell my hubs that I must be the pants wearer since I sleep in the drivers seat??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388525 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:34:02 +0000 winniebee 388525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Passenger side! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sleep-on-the-drivers-side-or-passenger-side#post-388523 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:33:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 388523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Driver's side.
