A startling nine out of 10 of our male listeners all sleep on the same side of the bed. We think we may have some reasons why.

A recent study was published by Sleep Review Magazine that claims 54% of Americans prefer the right side of the bed. The same study shows that men are 14% more likely than women to "win" the right side of the bed.

In our own unscientific study, however, the numbers were even greater. An overwhelming majority of men (practically 9 in 10) tell us that they all sleep on the right side of the bed. And their reasons for doing so are all very different.

Some listeners claim that they choose the right side as a way to "protect" their significant other. When sleeping, they choose the side that is closest to the door. In the event of a home invasion, the man would be able to put himself between his partner and the attacker. This all sounds quite paranoid, but it's about as good of an explanation as some of the others we've received.

Another listener said that he only sleeps on the right side because of the location of their bathroom. His wife demands that she be the closest to the facilities. Regardless of the reason, it seems like we've discovered a pretty big pattern here. Undoubtedly, most men are telling us that they sleep on the right-hand side.

This leads me to my own theory. You see, most people are right handed, so it only makes sense that a man would be more comfortable on the right side of his partner, leaving his dominant hand free for... well, what we call the "honk honk" or boob-grab.

Hey, it's science!

Anyway, our on-air survey wasn't probably the most accurate, so we'd love you to answer the survey below and let us know which side of the bed you sleep on. And if you have a better theory as to why, let us know in the comments section below.
