Sleep paralysis occurs the most when you sleep on your back. Had it happen to me once and now I never sleep that way.

Can you fall sleep on your back?

I have a hard time sleeping on my back, or stomach at all. So I always sleep on my side. When I do manage to sleep on my back, I sometimes get sleep paralysis. It usually happens if I go on my back hours in my sleep though.
Sounds weird, but I kinda miss sleep paralysis. It's freakin scary, but at the same time it's kinda fun being so scared for no reason when you look back at it. Haven't had it in months :(

Yeah, I fall asleep on my back and mostly sleep that way as well. I can sleep on my side but my knees really hurt when they are together like that so I have a body pillow to keep between them... but I don't like it taking up the space when I share a queen size bed with two ten pound dogs and my husband lol. I only use it when I'm very uncomfortable.
That's exactly why I sleep on my back.
Nice to know I've got friendly greys/demons/shadow people watching over me.
The odd time. My cat likes to sleep on my chest, so sometimes I'm forced to. Hell, sometimes it's even comfortable.
I haven't ever had issues sleeping on my back. Sometimes if I'm restless I'll roll over on my right side, but that sometimes leads to neck pain for me in the morning.
I don't really think about it, at any rate.

Yeah i can
My cats know when i am about to go to sleep and they wait in my bed and want to fall asleep in my arms with their heads on my chest.
Usually they leave after 20 mins or so and i would roll over in the seconds they relocate down to my legs but if they don't want to leave or i'm really tired i fall asleep on my back too.
Correct answer!

Yep. Trained myself into it after being a stomach/side sleeper. It feels so good, the effects on my back have phenomenal as well. I occasionally sleep on my side for the sake of it though.
Back sleeper here. It's one of three positions I can comfortably go to sleep in. The other is my left and right side with arm raised behind pillow.
It's the only way I can fall and stay asleep. I'm a chronic drooler, so if I sleep in any other position I'll wake up within the hour of falling asleep in a pool of my own drool. I used to be a stomach sleeper until this started back in my late teens.
I can't initially fall asleep on my back. Need to be on my side in a specific position. However if i wake up in the middle of the night and I'm only half awake and my sides aren't comfortable I can sometimes shift to my back and will fall back asleep.
Bruh, I can't NOT sleep on my back.
Blew my mind when I learnt that it's a thing people don't do.
I don't really toss and turn either.
My friend has described me as being like some sort of mummy when I sleep.

Pretty much the same thing for me. I used to love sleeping on my stomach buy as I got older my back started telling me that's not a great idea. Made the switch and it definitely helped.
I sleep on my back the best. It's the position where it's easiest to get comfortable. I do love when I hit the sweet spot when sleeping on my side, but it just doesn't happen that often. Arm/shoulder position is a real bitch.
I've been working on my bodys problems a lot lately. I don't remember if I twisted at all last night, but I think I did sleep on my back for the first time in a long time last night. I'm making an effort to keep it this way.
No I can only do it if I am drunk and then I snore loudly. Otherwise, need to sleep on the side.
Nah. I suffer from mild vertigo so lying on my back with my head back makes me really dizzy. I have to sleep on my side with my head at an upwards angle.
