Well, that would depend on what you were using it for.  If you were trying to
listen to something over and over again in your sleep, it'd be a realy pain
to keep waking up to turn it over.... or if you were very busy and didn't 
want to have to be bothered with turning it over or would forget.... or if 
you were using your hands for something else and it would seriously 
decrease your efficiency to stop to turn it over.....  

Of course, as several people have suggested, the best solution is probably
to buy another one.  Thanks.
