Things Your Sleeping Position Reveals About You

When it comes to our sleeping position, we all have our preferences, however the one thing we all have in common is the fact that we have to sleep! One way or another, all of us need that good night’s sleep so that we can function normally the next day. So? How do you sleep at night? Here’s what your sleeping style says about you!

Number 1 – FETAL SLEEPING POSITION The fetal position is one of the most popular among sleepers. This sleeping style means that you are sleeping on your side with your legs curled up. It may seem like an uncomfortable position to some, but it happens to be a fairly comfortable sleep style for the majority of people. If you mainly sleep in this position, you tend to look tough on the outside, but you’re very sensitive on the inside, typically shy at first, but you open up and relax quickly. You often feel the need to be protected, understood and sympathized with. By curling up this way, you try to cut yourself off from the problems you face in the world around you. You’re also very conscientious, but prone to over-thinking and worrying.

Number 2 – SOLDIER SLEEPING POSITION The soldier position is when you sleep on your back with your hands straight down by your sides. If this is how you sleep, you are the strong, silent type, who doesn’t like to be in the middle of a big fuss. You are serious and have a formed personality, and you also take people around you seriously. So it’s natural that you set high standards for yourself, and you expect the same from others as well. You can be strict, meticulous and demanding, but above all, you are most demanding with yourself.

Number 3 – LOG SLEEPING POSITION A funny sounding position, this sleeping style has you lying on your side, with your legs extended straight and arms by your sides. Even though the Log position looks like a stiff way to sleep, people who love this position are far from having a stiff personality. “Loggers” are known as easy going and social. Although you are friendly, carefree, popular, and trusting, you are known for being gullible. You are set in your ways, can be stubborn, and you come across as bossy or aloof.

Number 4 – YEARNER SLEEPING POSITION If this is your preferred sleeping position, it means that you’re sleeping on your side with your arms stretched out in front of you. This is also a very common sleeping style for many. Studies reveal that people who choose this position are usually very open with people and inviting. However, you can be a little suspicious of people and are often very cynical. As a yearner, you tend to seek exciting new challenges and opportunities, but you can be too hard on yourself by expecting great results too quickly. You are also very slow at making decisions, but once your mind is made up about something, you stick to it.

Number 5 – FREEFALLER SLEEPING POSITION If you’re a freefall sleeper, you enjoy resting on your stomach, with your head turned to the side, and your hands near your pillow. You are very sociable, but can also be brash at times. While you come across free-spirited, you are secretly nervous on the inside. You often feel as though things just happen to you in your life, and you have no control over any of it. You tend to wake up feeling anxious, both about lingering issues from the day before and what’s ahead. You are known for liking to take risks, but when it comes to criticism, you don’t take it so well.

Number 6 – STARFISH SLEEPING POSITION The starfish is by far the least preferred sleep style. However, if you happen to embrace this position, you sleep lying on your back with your legs stretched out, and your arms stretched up by your head. As a starfish sleeper, you are known to be a very loyal friend, and place friendships ahead of everything. You are there for your friends, and you always try to find a way to help. You don’t necessarily like being the center of attention, but don’t mind if you find yourself in the spotlight from time to time.

Number 7 - THE DRUNK SLEEPING POSITION If you wake up in the morning to find yourself in a highly unusual sleeping position, this means that you had way too much to drink the night before! If this is a frequent occurrence for you, then you’re an extravert who loves to party, and you’re likely known to be loud and obnoxious. Chances are that you’re also known, well known at all the local bars and liquor stores!

Number 8 - PILLOW HUGGER While not a sleep position in itself, since sleepers in any of the positions can either hug their pillow or not, this action does reveal the nature of a person. If you’re a pillow hugger, you place high importance on the bonds in your life, in terms of friendships, family, and relationships. You tend to be a people-pleaser, and try to help others as much as you can.

Number 9 - SNORER Obviously, this is not a sleeping position either, but if you snore, it can reveal something about you as well! If you’re a snorer, then you’re more likely to have extreme emotions, which can manifest in hyperactivity, aggression, or depression. That being said, you are known for your passion and your ability to live each moment to its fullest. There you go. Now you know what your sleeping position says about your personality!
