He tucks it right under his chin
I don't really have a preference between sleeping on my left side, my right side, my back or my stomach. I've slept in all of those positions at different times, and done just fine. When I was a kid, it didn't matter what position I was sleeping in, but it did matter very much that the covers were covering my neck and both of my ears. In any kind of weather, I would wrap the covers around my face so that they tucked under my chin, and then I would be safe. I'm not really sure what I was afraid of, because it seemed to be the back of my neck that I was concerned about covering. It's not exactly the prime location for vampire bites, nor Mafia garrotings. Maybe I was concerned about earthquakes and pieces of ceiling falling on me, so I had to curl up and cover my neck. Who knows? It made sleeping in a sleeping bag really weird.
I've gotten better about it. Sleeping in different situations and cover-types and temperatures forced me to get over the need to always have my neck covered, but given the choice I still prefer to sleep in a cold room, all tangled up in the covers, with a blanket between me and the vampires.
