H and I have lived together for over 4 1/2 years and I have always slept on the right side. No particular reason, just kind of happened when we first moved in and that was that. We moved to a new apartment after our first year and I stayed on the right side. Now we moved into our house and I am still on the right side.
Well we are staying in our future "guest room" while we paint and prep our new bedroom (figured we have the time and space to do that so why not make it nice and then move into a freshly painted and decorated room!) Well here is where the issue is. The bedroom is on the smaller side and with the window, sliding glass door and closet, there is really only one place to put the bed. This would make the right side of the bed RIGHT next to the bedroom door. Not that it would have typically bothered me in the past, but now H works later hours and goes to bed 1-3 hours later then me now. I worry that being right next to the door could wake me (as I am a light sleeper).
So is changing to the left side after over 4 years weird?
Would you do it?
Picture below is obviously NOT to scale! lol Hopefully it will give a better idea. (I measured the wall that the bed will go on and it is 103 of usable space - meaning the door can open wide against the wall and I don't count that space. Our bed it 60 in wide and our new night stands are 18 wide leaving us 7 inches for space between the furniture and again the door can be wide open without hitting the nightstand)
