Getting up in the morning is still more important then going to bed. And getting out of bed on the right side (as opposed to the wrong side) is vial for the coming day.
It seems that this superstition originated from the idea that anything left-handed was unnatural, on the basis that the majority of humans were right-handed. Left feet were unlucky, as were left hands, so that getting out of bed
on the left side had also to be considered unlucky.
Bed-making must also be performed according to certain rules.
When making the bed, don't interrupt your work, or you will spend a restless night in it.
Avoid sneezing or the soul rushes out of the body and into the bed and again will bring poor sleep.
Never turn a mattress on a Sunday.
If you make a bedspread, make sure to finish it or marriage will never come to you.
Hmmmm, handy to know

O.K., so which is the right side of the bed? If you stand at the foot of the bed facing it, is the side to your right hand the right side? Or is the right side the one your right hand goes to when laying on your back in bed? What about married couples who share a bed? ONE of the two will be getting out on the wrong side!

| it is said to be good to get in one side, and leave the bed the other side, this is because it forms a full circle. supposed to be lucky if you do this. |

The 'right' side of the bed
