Crompsin and I have switched back and forth a few times. In Columbus (alone) I slept on the right side of the bed because that was where the alarm clock/lamp were. When Crompsin first started sleeping over, I did the same. When Buddha moved in, we switched because the little furry bastard likes to crawl all over whoever's on the right side (closest to the door) and because he'd bang on the door handle and wake me up (I'm the lighter sleeper of the two of us). Now, we have switched back because the right side of the bed is cooler at night (the air conditioner is closest to the left side of the bed, but the cold air kind of "passes over" that person) and Crompsin would get cold in the middle of the night, turn the AC off, and then I'd be burning up. Switching helped fix that.
I usually prefer to have him between me and the door, but the room temperature dynamics don't really allow that at the moment. I think he prefers to be by the window, anyway, so it's alright. We make it work.
