Forget about hobbies, personality tests, online profiles, and their likes. If you really want to know the person, check when they are most unaware - during sleep. So which of these 7 positions is yours, and what does it say about you? |
The Freefall |
Position: Lying on your stomach with hands up around the pillow and head turned to one side. Personality: Freefallers are often extroverted and brash people. They appear nervy but are truly thin-skinned people who take criticism personally. Health Benefit: Freefall—or any position in which you’re lying face down—is good for digestion. |
The Fetus Position |
Position: Curled up on your side. This is the most common sleeping position, adopted by 41 percent of the 1,000 people who took part in Professor Idzikowski's survey. Personality: Those who sleep in the fetus position are described as tough on the outside, but shy and sensitive at heart. They may take time to warm up to people but soon relax. Health Benefit: Sleeping on your left side can cause stress on your vital organs (liver, stomach, lungs), so if the fetus is your position of choice, curl up on the right side of your body. |
The Log Position |
Position: Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. Personality: Log sleepers are social, easygoing people. The downside: their tendency to trust anyone—including complete strangers—makes them easy to fool. Health Benefit: This position keeps the spine straight, which should be beneficial for those who suffer from back pain. |
The Yearner Position |
Position: On your side with both arms out in front. Personality: Yearners are open to new things, but also suspicious and cynical. They take a long time to make decisions – weighing pros and cons repeatedly – but once they make a choice, they almost never change their minds or have regrets. Health Benefit: Resting on your side can help alleviate some problems associated with acid reflux disease and sleep apnea. But if such symptoms are a common occurrence, you may need to see a specialist. |
The Soldier Position |
Position: Lying on your back with both arms at your sides. Personality: Soldier sleepers are generally quiet and reserved. They don’t like to make a big deal out of things, and they set very high standards for themselves and others. Health Benefit: Research shows that sleeping on your back may lead to snoring, difficulty breathing, and an overall bad night’s sleep. Is your snoring keeping someone awake at night? Try flipping over—you’ll both wake up more refreshed. |
The Starfish Position |
Position: Lying on your back with both arms up.
