If you lay in the bed, depending on if you are lying on your back or stomach, left and right still change.
Ususally a bed is positioned with the head against a wall, so if you are facing the bed from the foot end, left and right are always the same. So I vote left/right is as seen from the foot end of the bed.
You're in agreement with my BF.
I didn't consider stomach sleepers. It's a good counter. I sleep on my stomach for short periods of time, but laying prone isn't default orientation (we typically don't face the ground) so therefore shouldn't be used as an indicator of default direction.
How do you reference position while in the bed? Just "your vs my" side?
But what if your bunk is on a marine vessel?
Good to know that I'm not crazy!
