I've been working on a theory of sleep recently. Here's what I got. First, and most importantly, I think there is only one way that you are supposed to sleep per night. And it's very specific. For instance, maybe on a certain night you are supposed to sleep on your back, with your mouth closed, and your right leg folded. It may sound like a totally random position but if you think about it, you wake up many times after a great night of sleep in bizarre positions. Also, temperature is important. Too hot you can't sleep, and too cold you can't sleep. Secondly, you will not be able to fall asleep and stay asleep unless you find this position. Case in point, people often toss and turn in their sleep. This seems to be simply a case of not finding their "sleep position." Next, the mouth part is very important, you must be able to effectively move a sufficient amount of air at all times. This coorelates with the first part of the hypothesis. If you do not get in to your "sleep position" it is probable that you aren't breathing right. So maybe you try opening your mouth, you breath easier and then fall asleep. A small price to pay for gross morning mouth taste. The last part of the theory is that none of this applies when you are dead tired. You could fall asleep sitting up if you're tired enough. Maybe all of this just applies to me or maybe it's universal. I don't really have the desire to actually test it, but it would be cool to find out if it's true.

Maybe the problem is not the position of your body, but the position of your brain. If you are up all night thinking or worrying about something, it becomes extremembly difficult to sleep. So I would say, and so would sleep experts, to clear your head and see what happens. Maybe you're thinking about that pesky sleeping postion too much that it is inhibiting you ability to get a good night's sleep. Good luck and goodnight! : )
You should probably read your physio book, I hear its pretty awesome. It gives lots of info about sleep though and it gives some credit to your theory cuz your temperature is pretty steady all night long and drops suddenly right before you wake up...its part of the reason you wake up. So if you aren't the right temperature to begin with, how are you supposed to sleep? As for sleep positions, who knows.
