Some relationships have a dominant partner. In countries whose vehicles have the steering wheel on the right, this partner should sleep on the right of the bed, and in countries whose vehicles have the steering wheel on the left, the opposite should be so. That's it.

There is, however, a problem. Whether you're on the right or left of the bed depends on whether you're sleeping face up or face down.

OK, well in that case install ceiling cams in the bedrooms monitored by the dream police to ensure everyone sleeps on their backs.

What about beds that straddle international boundaries?

By international law, those would be bunk beds. Any country with ordinary double beds which straddle boundaries would get UN sanctions.

//international standard regarding which side the indicator stalk goes on?

In Japan, it's in the middle, very logical people.
