Your Sleeping Position

Tweet

Do you know that your sleeping position says something about your personality? Well, at least that's one study says so... But if you would try to look at it, and somehow look if it the meaning behind your sleeping position does fit your personality... these studies could somehow be true... Do you sleep on your back, your stomach, or your side? The study i came accross (I forgot the name of the study) suggested a correlation between six common sleeping positions and the personality traits of the sleepers themselves. Preferred sleeping positions are seen as a sort of subconscious body language that reflects our inner traits. The most common sleeping positions (and corresponding personality) identified were: Fetal Position : Curled up on your side, holding the pillow. The most popular sleeping position. The personality of these sleepers tends to be shy and sensitive, though they may present a tough exterior to the world. (or tough, but really sensitive at heart). They may be cautious at first meeting but will soon warm up. Log Position : lying to the side with both arms down. Indicates a social, easygoing personality, but may sometimes be too gullible. Yearner Position Similar to the log, but with arms outstretched. (sleeping on your side with both arms out in front) Indicates an open nature, but can be suspicious or cynical at times. They will often be slow in making decisions but once they have, will never change it. Soldier Position Flat on your back with arms at your sides. Indicates a quiet and reserved personality who sets high standards. They don’t like to fuss and tend to set high standards for themselves and people around them. Freefall Position (One of the less popular positions) Flat on your stomach with arms at the head or ears. Indicates a brash and gregarious exterior who may inwardly be nervous and sensitive to criticism. Starfish Position ) (the rarest position) Lying on your back with arms and legs outstretched. Indicates a good listener who makes friends easily. However, they are often shy and do not like to be the centre of attention. Of course, we know ourselves better and may or may not disagree about the meanings of our sleep positions. Or they can just be part of our subconscious body language. Personally, I sleep on sort of a combination of foetal and yearner position... kinda confusing if I think of it...somehow matches my personality, in some ways, it doesn't... but nonetheless... it's fun knowing such things...
