I used to have a lot of nightmares when I was a kid. My Mum told me that if I slept
on my stomach I wuldn't have bad dreams. It wasn't til I was in University, and
plagued by terrible nightmares that I realized my mother had made that up, and
she probably just told me that so SHE'D get a good's night sleep...
yet, belive it or not, I still can't fall asleep unless I'm on my stomach
