Lighthearted. Ish. Until she kills me in my sleep.
Have a reasonably new relationship with the most amazing lady... only..... she sleeps on her back with her hands crossed across her chest. Other than when it's cold and she sleeps on her back with the duvet around her chin.

AIBU - you can't tell someone how to sleep
AINBU - I'm sleeping next to Dracula's bride

Has she had a hip replacement? My aunt sleeps like that every since she did. I think she was warned not to sleep on her side afterwards and never did again.

I would find it creepy if my partner did it though.

Is her maiden name Adams, perchance?

I do too, my partner says it's quite spooky. Is that you Hicky Legs?

RUN FOR THE HILLS!

but surely you can't sleep in one position all night?
or am I the only one turning like a spit roast all night keeping with dead things

You’re not sleeping with the dead…. You’re sleeping with the undead!! Put a cross above the bed, you’ll be fine. 😁

I know of a couple of people who back sleep to prevent wrinkles. Could be something like that.

I like to back sleep, but can only do it napping, and same way with hands folded. It did cross my mind that it was like someone laid prior to burial.

had to :o at this as I know someone dh who likes to fall asleep like that.

wrapped in the duvet like a mummy as well. maybe I need a golden duvet cover

She might be the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian . Having watched lots of documentaries royalty were mummified in this position in the New Kingdom. It then seemed to go out of fashion and then started up again in the Ptolemaic Period where lower ranking people were buried in this pose. So could be reincarnated royal or just a bog standard fairly well off person. Or a vampire . I’d just ask and then you’ll know.

Buy in some garlic and a steak just in case. If she’s normal you can just make dinner.
