The side of the bed I sleep on is so important to me, that I sleep on that very same side even in hotels and Airbnbs.
That’s why I was so utterly flabbergasted upon learning some people - and even some couples - swap around willy nilly.
Now, I know that when we tend to think about what is or isn’t taboo in the bedroom, it’s rarely referring to the way we sleep but I’m shook.
One couple have taken to TikTok to share their (surely controversial) take on how they best enjoy their bed.

It turns out the side they sleep on just depends on what kind of mood they’re in.
As someone with a carefully curated bed side table that includes my current read, a carafe for water and a nightlight, this irks my soul.
But they seem happy so maybe there’s something in it after all.
The video is captioned: “Okay I really need to know if we are alone in this - do you randomly pick which side of the bed you are going to sleep on or do you sleep on the same side every single night?”
Angelina, the wife of the duo, shares: “We do not have a regular side of the bed that we sleep on.
“Last night I slept on this side, and then the night before, for like two or three nights in a row, I slept on the other side.
“It’s never discussed. We just randomly pick a side when we go to sleep.”
She continued: “Whenever this has come up in conversation, people act like it’s the craziest thing they’ve ever heard.
“We just never picked a side of the bed.”
As is to be expected, people were dumbfounded and shared their thoughts in the comment section.
One person wrote: “I’m single, and I have a side of my bed," as another joked: “What kind of serial killer behaviour is this. Even when I was single with my own bed I had my own side”.
A third added: “Do you guys sleep in jeans as well?”
And a fourth simply wrote: “Slept on my wife's side once...felt like I was in someone else's home entirely.”
Seems like my shell-shocked reaction was far from the only one.
