Which sleeping position are you???

What your sleeping position says about you ...

Foetus

Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.

Log

Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.

Yearner

People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.

Soldier

Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.

Freefall

Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.

Starfish

Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention.

Couple Sleeping positions...


Spoon
Both you and your partner lie on your sides, facing same direction and touching-
The many forms of contact indicate a sense of closeness, security and comforting- like a cocoon.- High on the intimacy scale - and because you’re both in the fetal position of sorts it shows a willingness to expose your vulnerabilities to your other half.- Variations to the traditional spoon include when there is slightly more space between the two of you but you’re still “emotionally” and physically linked by certain body parts like an arm or leg. - The one on the outside is usually the more dominant and sees the other as needing nurturing - but, there’s also analysis that suggests whoever is holding the other the tightest is the less confident of the two.


Frontal
EmbraceBoth facing each other, faces close, intertwined arms and legs.-
Full-on position which shows your “desperation” to be near each other- ie. you can’t bear to be part.- Usually occurs during the very beginning of relationship or during periods of intense passion.- Can also show dependency and some find it stifling.- There are also problems associated with restriction to the blood flow in your arm.- Demonstrates lust for each other - able to put up with morning breath etc.

Snuggled up
One partner lies sprawled on their back, whilst the other snuggles up-
The one lying on their back is said to be the more dominant of the two of you, whilst the one snuggling up is said to be submitting to this dominance or craving attention.- If this is an occasional position or you swap between who lies on their back you can be said to be a flirty couple and one who likes to change the roles within the relationship.- Can occur during traumatic times, with one party providing a sense of comfort and safety for the other.


Leg Connection
You both lie on back, stomach, or sides but remain connected by a leg-
Can indicate shyness or people that have trouble expressing obvious affection - ie the sign of affection or contact occurs by “accident”.- But, is rated as one of the healthiest coupledom sleeping positions because it can also can show a sense of comfort, confidence in each other, familiarity and sense of healthy independence- able to do your own thing and have your own space.- Also signifies a strong friendship element in the relationship and the below the hip contact is indicative of a practical layer to your relationship. - Can occur after a fight - sneaking the leg over can be a sign of a truce.

Together-Alone
You both sleep separately, on different sides of the bed, no contact
- Can indicate independence again, is not always a bad thing- ie you start the night together but drift off in order to get a better sleep. Some people can’t handle being held while sleeping and need their total space.
- However, if this is how you start and end the night, with no contact whatsoever then it can be indicative of some problems.
- Possible causes may be to do with the relationship, a fight etc or specific to the individual ie, stress, anxiety, grief, or a retreat from annoying habits such as snoring, grinding teeth, kicking out etc.
