What Does Your Sleeping Position Mean?
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.
Personality: Starfish sleepers are described as great listeners and thus
good friends. They’re always willing to offer help and generally don’t
like being in the limelight.
Health Benefit: Like the soldier, starfish sleepers are more likely to
snore and have breathing problems while they sleep, resulting in a less
refreshing night’s rest.
