LOL, I feel asleep on my back, and woke up on my right side with a numb arm from keeping it under my head. Go figure.

Because training damage and it’s subsequent repair and adaptation is caused by an ACUTE stimulus. What you’re talking about would have to fall under CHRONIC trauma. Also one is active and one is passive.

Coincidence? Maybe. I can’t say for certain, though I am pretty sure there’s a link.

Headaches could be caused by a hundred things and probably more so in women and hell I wake up with a crick in my neck sometimes as well the numb arm the other guy was talking about, but that’s not the same as the debilitation you’re describing.
Look, there may be something to this for SOME people, but do we really need young active healthy people laying awake at night because they’re afraid they’ll cripple themselves if they sleep wrong?

Well you can always give yourself “a stranger”.
Sleep with a pillow under your knees. The exact number of pillows will be determined by your comfort level. Good luck.

LOL, I don’t think it’s such a big deal as long as you don’t experience pain from sleeping on your belly. Bushy you really over analyse shit eh? 
I would just try to go to sleep on my back and if I was still up after about 30 minutes I’d switch. I still switch to my side in the morning but I’m getting used to it. I sleep on my back most of the time now at night and sometimes put a pillow under my legs.
I used to sleep on my stomach all the time but my back finally started to bother me. It was mostly related to poor posture sitting infront of computers all day but sleeping on my stomach didn’t help either.
In my opinion problems like this usually don’t come from just one thing. Sleeping on your stomach alone probably won’t cause problems. But combine it with other issues and all those little things eventually add up.

It honestly isn’t worth all that much attention to me and I’ve spent a grand total of about 90 seconds thinking about it to date so I’m careful about making a stand, but I just cannot see somebody with no empirical reason fretting over what position they sleep in. There are much more clear and present health dangers to deal with as I think you’ll agree.
It does seem counter intuitive to think that whatever position someone naturally gravitates toward during the entirely natural act of sleeping would be intrinsically unhealthy, but what the hay.

LoL. My dad asked me the same thing when I told him what I had wrote. I guess I have diarrhea fingers. It was just one of the first things that poped in my head that no one would want to do.
Kinda like what Frank Calliando says about Bush…
“There are inside words and there are outside words and thouse were inside words that became outside words”
now i’ve heard it all.
you can control how you fall asleep, but during the night you will move, your body is too smart to let itself cause damage like that.
don’t worry about it
put a pillow under your stomach to even your spinal column, it will take the stress off your back.

The body is not ‘smart’ in that sense, it is just reactive.
What you say is akin to saying “You wouldn’t eat that hamburger, because your body is too smart to let itself cause damage like that”.
And we all know that’s not true.

for one, a hamburger isn’t bad
two, you’re talking about subconscious and conscious behavior, a bit different
No one has convinced me that sleeping on your stomach or side is a problem. I for one am not going to lose any sleep over it. hahaha. I can’t fall asleep on my back either and I’m not going to lie awake for hours trying. That would be retarded and counterproductive. Anyway, you undoubtedly shift positions THROUGHOUT the night if holding your joint at end range for 8 hours is your concern.

Probably true enough. Still, I don’t doubt that most bodies are ‘reactive’ enough that most people change positions many times throughout the night.
