I was looking at one page of the
website and I was curious about the
said info.....
Fetus position - A whopping 41% of
participants sleep in this curled-up
manner. Women are twice as likely
to rest like this and it is listed as the
most common position. These
sleepers are said to have a tough
exterior but are still sensitive and
may appear to be shy but warm up
quickly.
Log position - If you sleep on your
side with both arms down, you are
a social, easy-going person who is
trusting, sometimes to the point of
being gullible. The study showed
15% of people sleep like a log.
Yearner position - A close third is
the side-lying position with both
arms out in front of the body, with
13% of partipants sleeping like this.
Yearners are noted to be open-
minded and still cynical, suspicious,
and stubborn about sticking to
decisions once they are made.
Soldier position - These sleepers lie
on their backs with arms down and
kept close to the body. This 8%
study is said to be reserved, quiet,
without fuss, and hold themselves
and others to a high standard.
Soldier sleepers have a higher
likelihood for snoring due to the flat-
back position, which may not cause
them to wake up often but may
result in a less restful night's sleep.
Freefall position - Those people who
lie on their bellies with arms under
or wrapped around a pillow with
head turned to the side, make up
7% of the population studied.
Freefallers are brash, outgoing, and
are very uncomfortable with
criticism.
Starfish position - Sleepers who lie
on their backs with arms up near
their head or the pillow account for
5% of participants. These people are
good listeners, helpful, and are
uncomfortable being the center of
attention. People who sleep in
starfish position are more likely to
snore and to suffer from a poor
night's sleep more often.
If you think you are one of those
people who move through all of
these positions, that's not likely to
really be the case. Idzikowski said
the research reveals most people
stay in the same position all night
and only 5% lay differently night by
night. Also interesting is that the
study showed only one in ten
people cover their bodies entirely
with a blanket, with most people
exposing an arm, leg, or both feet.

I'm a side sleeper and that's because I find it comfortable to sleep on my side. Honestly I have no idea at all that our sleeping position does reveal our personality. Thanks for the info. Great read with the links.

Thanks for showing this, it was nice to know some new things. My sleeping position is the freefall position but sometimes I go into the yearner position.
Although I don't think some of the personality traits of said sleeping positions match with who I think I am. Then again, only people other than myself can tell me what my personality really is from the outside.
