I have no idea why I started to do it. A co-worker thought it was because I was trying to "get away" from the DH, but whenever he does switch over I don't switch back, so its not him. I have eight weeks to go before I deliver my future BV totin' fashionista then I can go back to sleeping like a normal human being.
