Googling the expression now, I find the same meaning in English - with the additional info that the origin might be "ancient superstition which held it to be unlucky to touch the floor first with the left foot when getting out of bed". Now there's something to think about. According to that theory, I was getting up on the wrong side during most of my childhood and teen years. Then I changed my ways. Whether it has brought me luck is harder to say! <br /><br />Here's an experiment for you: Try going to sleep on the wrong side, and see if you then wake up on the right one? (Why, you might ask. Because your readers are curious, is my answer...)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-43178338531111288192010-10-01T21:30:09.667+01:002010-10-01T21:30:09.667+01:00Oh no, GB, you're no longer a tidy sleeper! Y...Oh no, GB, you're no longer a tidy sleeper! Your life is truly changed! I wonder what comes next? <br /><br />I've always been a messy sleeper, can wake up across the bed and even upside down (no, not standing on my head!) I sometimes look at the state of my bed in the morning and wonder how I slept so soundly.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.com
