Sleeping position

I have been doing Qigong and a little Tai ji for close to a month now. Besides all the normal things that occur with a completely new practice such as aching muscles etc, I have noticed something which has really hit me.

As far as I can remember, my whole life I have been a side sleeper, mainly left side but occasionally right side.

A week ago I noticed that I am now a back sleeper, I CANNOT fall to sleep on my side. However I do turn onto one side or the other for a short time during the night.

As I also have my arms either down by my side or across my chest, I started to wonder if this was something to do with 'grounding'.

Has anyone else experienced this or similar and can the teachers explain this phenomenon.

(Or am I just being weird?)
