i misread the first question, and thought you were asking the same question in #2 and 3. i actually imagined John lying to the left side of the bed.

i feel like i'm basing my opinions on what i see more often on tv. when someone is waking up, it's usually the camera zooming in on the left side of the bed. also, when we see Rodney and John walk down corridors, i remember John being on the left. *looks around for an icon that proves this*
