Very rare, briefly on stomach now. Too fat in that area (not super fat, but enough to not stay too comfortable for long). Each night I'll feel more comfortable this way, or that way, sometimes changing within a night.

I empathize w you posters and shoulder issues. I was lucky, left shoulder ripped rotator muscles (a freak accident), and resultant bone scar affected my ability to use certain drawing techniques, and ruined the new style I crafted over several years;
but not daily activities in general, otherwise. If I'd been a gymnast, that's have been different! Luckily, didn’t affect sleeping on that side. At least if it had, I still had 2 comfortable positions to choose from.

A toast to better, and good sleep, DU'rs!
