I have to sleep in a specific way when in my own bed (I can sleep in whatever possition when anyway else, ye, im wired). Here it is. I sleep on my side facing left, right arm outstretched under pillow, left arm bent with hand under pillow, right leg straight, left leg bent like your sitting whilst sitting down. 
Anyone else do this? Its The Best!
Just a random story here but why the hell not. Was sleeping at my mates girlfriends house in the living room. I was sleeping on one sofa whist a mate was sleeping on another sofa. Went to bed in a fairly normal possiton, apperantly my mate woke up in the early hours and I was sleeping like this:-
Head and majority of torso hanging off the front right of the sofa, my left leg hanging over the left hand side with the right leg over the back of the sofa wedged inbetween the window-sil. Basically I stayed on the chair from my leg getting stuck in this possition.
After the initial amusemnt of my body my mate went back to sleep. Who knows if I fell of and calmbered back on
Was amused when he told me in the morning like...

For years I always slept on my left, but as far round as I could get without being flat on my front. I was really pedantic about being on the left side of the bed too. Recently though, I've started sleeping in the middle on my back. I don't think my boyfriend is too happy about it, but it seems to be the only way I can fall asleep.

i roll around in every position getting the col bits and warming them up so the whole bed is snuggly, this can take an hour or more (i cant fall asleep easily) but once im good and ready i go on my left side, curl up into fetal position and away i go, i can only fall asleep that way although whenever i wake up im on my back, so clearly during the night i always roll over

I have a very specific position similar to Sime that I must be in to doze off, mine is on my front right arm bent down under my belly left arm pulling the covers upto my face left leg bent out right leg straight head facing left. generally I cocoon myself in the quilt as well, and I simply can't sleep until my body is utterly exhausted. Sleep is a bothersome thing to me tbh.
*Oh and Zefan the single bed + GF thing just drives me nuts, I will most often end up on the floor in that situation.*

I always find the best way to go to sleep is to lie flat on my back and bring my knees up to my chest to stretch my back out, then you can lie really flat on the matress with a single pillow and arms either side. Although if I am sleeping on a crap bed/matress it really shows up the lumps in it, makes it hard for me to sleep, then I just roll on to my side and lean on a pillow.
Sleep studies have shown the best night sleep is lieing flat on your back with arms either side, they called it 'the soldier'
and on that note, off to bed!
EDIT: Tip for those sharing a single bed. I shared a single bed with my gf for a year. The bed was against a wall on one side, so I moved it out slightly and as it had a frame shoved two pillows down the side, jammed between the bed and the wall.
Then I could just lie with my shoulder and arm on my little bed extension

same for me on my left, can sleep on my back fine though, on rare occasions I'll wakeup and not be able to move to I'd prefer that to happen on while on my back tbh.

I've been like it all my life mate, I've just choosen to accept it now and work at a job that matches my sleepin pattern, as soon as the sun creeps up I'll start to feel sleepy.
