Sleeping cluster side down

I could be imagining this but, it seems I get fewer night time hits when I sleep with the cluster side on the pillow as opposed to the other way around.  Have any of you detected a difference one way or the other?

Hi Mark,  
 
   No I've never noticed that, and I don't think I've heard where anyone else has either.  Some people find sleeping in a recliner or almost in an upright position helps though.

I have a chronic stuffy sinus on the cluster side (plus sleep apnea, for which I wear nasal pillows connected to a CPAP machine). Trying to sleep with my stuffy side down is next to death for me. Cluster side, stuffy side - always up. I gotta let gravity do its thing.

I don't believe it prevents attacks because I get hit nightly during a cycle. I will tell you that I do have this wierd irrational fear that I must sleep cluster side down. It is like I am afraid that if I sleep on my left side my clusters will ooze down and start attacking that side of my brain as well.  Shocked

I have always slept cluster side down...in or out of cycle. After 48 years I don't think I could ever sleep on the other side! Heaven help me if it ever changes sides I guess!

I have always slept mostly cluster side up (in or out of cycle), but do switch back and forth during the night. I haven't noticed any difference in affecting the number of nighttime hits during my bouts with the beast.
