What does your sleep position reveal about your personality? - Healthy Living on Shine

Fetus 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.

I saw that article and the pictures that go with it make me laugh, as I can't even fathom being comfortable in 3 of those positions.

I almost always fall asleep in the fetal position, but the other ones I like and can sleep for a bit with are Freefall and Half-Starfish (lol... only one arm up, not both).

 

[Nonsensical]

I'm a freefall person. LOL.

 

[gromit]

I am a combination of fetus, freefall, soldier, and some sort of sprawling...

 

[Laurie]

It reveals I have a loose shoulder I can't sleep on.

Can we extend this thread Peguy? I would like it to include other necessities for the individual to sleep e.g
Do you have to sleep on a certain side of the bed/facing a certain direction
How do you have to have the covers/duvet
Other factors (noise etc),
I'm suggesting... but i am not able to interpret, i'd happily give it a go, or someone else could, you possibly

 

[JocktheMotie]

I have no idea...I want to say I start out freefall but end up a yearner...I'll check tonight.

GF is definitely a combo between log and freefall. And she's an awful blanket stealer/ bed hog

 

[ajblaise]

I start as a Starfish, then as a Soldier, then I evolve into a half Fetus half Log.

My personality is just that unique.

 

[Oaky]

I'm not 100% sure of how I sleep but from what I remember...

Yearner - I wake up like this if I go to sleep like this or freefall position.
Soldier - I wake up like this if I go to sleep like this.
Freefall - I may wake up like this if I go to sleep like this.
Starfish - I wake up like this if I go to sleep like this or yearner position.

I go to sleep soldier position about 35% of the time.
I go to sleep starfish position about 25% of the time.
I go to sleep freefall positon about 20% of the time.
I go to sleep yearner position about 20% of the time.

I never sleep fetus or log positon nor do I wake up in fetus or log position.

 

[Lady_X]

i think i'm a freefall sleeper

 

[sammy]

I'm mostly freefall. Secondary fetus.

 

[Little_Sticks]

Freefaller > Fetus > Soldier


And for the Yearners: HOW THE HELL DO YOU SLEEP WITH YOUR ARMS EXTENDED OUT LIKE THAT?!

Okay, bye ;P

 

[Lux]

I usually fall asleep in the fetal position, but sometimes wake up in the middle of the night in the starfish position.

 

[Thalassa]

I do both yearner and freefall. And they both sound like me.

 

[miss fortune]

I sleep in freefall... the man sleeps in yearner position so I always have to fight for arm space under my pillow

 

[Rainne]

Soldier. I can't sleep any other way lol

 

[BlueGray]

Fetus > Freefall
My legs are always up unless I'm on my stomach.

 

[ayoitsStepho]

I'm a free faller and a fetus position sleeper.

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.

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.

Not everything about them matches my personality, and, I don´t snore. But I can´t sleep on one of my shoulders because of arthritis -I just flat-back positions for health reasons.

 

[BlackCat]

I'm a soldier. I fall asleep like that, and wake up like that.
