I sleep naked, on my back, 62 degrees, a hard bed, and a soft pillow and I regularly ld. That is just how I personally am comfortable, if you arn’t comfortable that way you won’t be able to sleep that way. I can’t get comfortable on my side so obviously I will never be able to ld that way. Regardless of what works for others you have to find what is most comfortable for you. It doesn’t matter who died in what position, how energy flows according to some philosophy, or whatever else you want to come up with. You won’t dream if you don’t sleep, if another persons position is uncomfortable to you it will be hard to sleep and so to dream. Find the most comfortable position for you and you will sleep best and so be able to stay asleep longer (or at least deeper), thereby increasing your chance of dreaming and in turn increasing your chances of having a ld.
sleep on your rights side or better yet on your back" sleeping on your left side puts strain on your heart and may take off a year or so of your life and on your back with your hands by your side is a tantra sleeping position and is said to be a good posture for sleeping with. 
hmm well have a lot of trouble sleeping on my back or my side or my chest or anything really, if i could sleep standing i would 
i have a problem with my right chest it is totaly stuffed and it hurts 
so i sleep any way i can that is comfertable usally on my right side (reduce in pain) but i awake on my bac from lds
one time i dyed in my ld and my hands were placed in a sort of holding psoition on my chest, i awoke on my back and my hands were like they were in the dream, so much for SP

I recently had an interesting conversation about sleeping positions and LDs with a remarkably talented lucid dreamer in the forum’s chatroom. Previously, I had contemplated the idea of sleeping in unusual positions or at certain angles to keep the mind more ‘aware’ while you slept. The theory is, since you’re not in your usual position, your mind would handle the night differently to how it’s used to. Humans are based on routines, and if something changes that we aren’t prepared for, it’s likely that the routine will be interrupted and you’ll be forced to tackle the situation consciously.
So then, if your built-in balance controls find themselves at something other than your regular -10 to 10 degrees inclination, your subconscious might be a little more aware and less automatic while you’re sleeping. An example of this in real life might be leaving a blank piece of paper or something on your keyboard one night as you go to bed. When you wake up and go to use your computer, your automatic routine is interrupted by the object now resting on your keyboard. This causes you to break way from the automatic routine and remember that you were going to write a letter to someone (or whatever you wanted the paper to remind you to do).
Anyway, just something to think about.
I just thought about this and I think I may have found a reason why sleeping on your back may be better for lucid dreams. I remember reading that some light hititing your eye lids while you sleep can help you have lucid dreams. The Nova dreamer uses flashing lights for instance and morning sunlight from a window probaly wouldn’t hurt either. Well, if your sleeping on your back, then you would be able to have light hitting you from a window during the early hours of the morning, but if you were sleeping on your side or stomach, than you would most likely not have any sunlight hitting your face. So I imagine sleeping on your back would help out alittle, but not alot.
There is no way I could hold a position even in my sleep. I am the all time move n’ thrash while sleepiing champ. Twice I have woken up and found my feet on the pillows. Also a question: Sometimes I wake up and find the covers are at a 90 degree angle to where they started. It is straight and smooth and looks like the bed has been made. Except its hanging off the side. How come it is so accuarate when I am sleeping.
Incidentally I sleep on my right side and haven’t had an LD yet. Also I sleep with the window open (I live in Scotland so the temperature can be absymal. There are times when I can’t face getting out of bed coz my toes are so cold), Coukd this be affecting my LDs?
I sleep best on my left side and anywhere from 30-40 degrees.
Hmm, I seem to sleep best on my left side (I’m male). Although, I sleep fairly well on my stomach and moderately well on my right side. I sleep pretty badly on my back. I tend to move a bit. I think when I had my only slightly lucid experience, I fell asleep on my left side at a low angle and woke on my stomach.
best position for ld’s???
FACE DOWN IN A BUCKET OF WATER!!!
for my one and only LD i woke up on my stomache, so i’ll say my stomache.
Lol I usually sleep on left side just because it is somehow more comfortable, and now I find it is what yoga recommends… But when I wake up, from a LD or not, I can find myself in any position… Now I’ll try to pay attention to it, but it will take too much time, so I’ll only write about WILD. 95% of WILD I had were on my back, and those 2 of them that I had on my side were very unstable and not quite detached from my real-life body. So I don’t want to experiment with it until I really master WILD…
I found the easiest positon to start the WILD process is laying on my back but that position is unconfortable to me so i prefer lying on my side and start there. Yesterday had two short LD and when i woke up i was in my back and also a weird thing that sometimes happends to me occured(but i really like when it happends): i could touch an feel my face as i would be touching it with my hand but in fact my real hands were lying on the bed while with and invisible hand i was touching my self, and i say invisible because i could see with my eyes that there were no hand there but still i felt everything, its amazing, maybe is the astral body, who knows.
if you manage to fall asleep in an uncomfortable position, it seemss likely that you’ll move into something more confortable before you reach the dream stages.
personally i usually end up sleeping on my right side. its not like a concious choice to sleep that way, i just seem to be on that side more than any other. When i wake up i’m usually always on my right side or my back.
Perhaps i should try my left side for a change?
That is awesome 
I have tried to WILD while sitting up but it has not worked yet. I’ll have to keep practicing. 
Laying on my side or back seems to work best fore me. The only difference (for me) between the two is when I WILD on my back and get the vibes then feel myself being pulled down through my feet. If I WILD on my side I get pulled up through my head. I feel like someone has a hold my top jaw and is yanking me out of bed. It’s weird.
Dang… am I the only one who finds it comfortable to sleep on my stomach?
Well if sleeping position really does affect peoples’ ability to have lucid dreams, then there’s my problem…
I’ll try my right side tonight.
i can’t sleep using a pillow! I can’t sleep on my side, i can’t sleep on my back. I can only sleep on my stomach. So sleeping on my side would be just as uncomfortable as a normal person sleeping standing 
I can sleep on the right side, on the left side and on my stomach. I’m writing down for two months the position I was during LDs (DILD). It’s always on my stomach so far.
It’s uncredible that Laberge made statistics about sleeping positions and forget this one. 
I only seem to be able to sleep on my stomach for the most part, but for some strange reason I am able to visualize better of I’m on my side. It’s kind of wierd. Being on my back I find it difficult to visualize and even more difficult to sleep. Kind of odd…
I have ld ‘d sleeping on my stomach so I would say that it is possible. I don’t think position matters much. I have LD ‘d on both sides my back and stomach. From what I can tell the important thing is to sleep in a comfortable position and to be in a position where you can let your muscles relax. (I.e. you don’t want to sleep in such a way where you are putting pressure on your arms or anything.
When i sleep on my side my shoulder/arms gonna get squashed and it annoys me.
