The study, carried out by Premier Inn, showed that more than a third (35%) of adults maintained a traditional approach to sleeping arrangements and were in agreement that men should sleep nearest the door in case of intruders.
However one in ten women (10%) admitted to claiming the side nearest the door in case their young children wander in during the night.
The research, which questioned 2,000 adults, found one in twenty (5%) Brits chose the side of the bed they sleep on to get a better view of the TV, with the same amount choosing to be near a radiator.
Other factors respondents named as to which side of the bed they wanted were getting away from road noise (5%), crying babies (7%) and more floor space on a certain side (5%). Of the couples polled, a whopping four out of five (80%) say they have slept on the same side of the bed since the beginning of their current relationship. Such is the importance of maintaining the preferred side that six out of ten (60%) people fail to sleep properly if they do not sleep on their preferred side of the bed.
The study found that almost half (46%) of adults look to claim a certain side of the bed when staying in a hotel. The most popular requirements are cited as 'the side nearest the door' (6%) but, perhaps bizarrely, nearly one in fourteen (7%) insist on sleeping next to a wall.
A racy 15% of Brits do like to switch sides occasionally to 'spice things up' and more than one in five (22%) state they slept on a different side with an ex-partner. Almost one in five (19%) said the 'other' side simply isn’t as comfortable, with the same amount insistent of sleeping close to personal belongings on their own bedside table.
