Foetus 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.
