I’m trying to understand what accounts for a left or right diagonal lay preference. Reviewing old threads, it appears that there is a weak correlation with handedness, feet pointing in direction of dominant hand. But exceptions.
It occurs to me that right and left lay each twist the shoulders slightly out of alignment with the hips, in a way that flat beds or some non-GE hammock do not. I think it’s also true that most people have at least a tiny bit of scoliosis, too mild to call it that, but spinal asymmetry all the same. Could there be a more robust correlation for lay preference here than handedness?
My right shoulder is about half an inch lower than my left when I’m standing “straight.” (I think it was growing years shouldering a heavy book bag off right shoulder for long walks to/from school.) I’m right-handed and lay with feet right 98% of the time.
What about you? If you lay with your feet pointing opposite your dominant hand (the minority case), does one of your shoulders droop a little opposite that hand?
