What does your sleep position reveal about your personality?

Abigail Crabby · 07-31-2011, 10:25 AM

Freefall position - Freefallers are brash, outgoing, and are very uncomfortable with criticism.

free faller...

theoddz · 07-31-2011, 10:35 AM

Soldier, mostly, with a tad of Yearner.

Soldier.............tiny bit of yearner some nights

Jessica · 07-31-2011, 02:28 PM

Yearner- but sometimes i like to mix it up-whatever it takes to get comfortable enough to fall asleep

jelli · 07-31-2011, 02:47 PM

I am definitely a freefalling fetus that loves to spoon!

These two most resemble me....

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well I am typically in the soldier position but at times will tuck up my arms under my pillows if I just can't fall asleep.

Oh and I don't believe the snoring part AT ALL no matter what anyone says.

starryeyes · 10-17-2011, 11:48 PM

I'm a freefaller all the way! :-D I love sleeping on my tummy and hugging my pillow!

Kätzchen · 10-18-2011, 12:26 AM

I start out as a yearner who often ends up in a curled, fetal position with probably a skosh of free-falling

MsTinkerbelly · 10-18-2011, 12:59 PM

Starfish

willow · 10-18-2011, 02:46 PM

Usually yearner, but if I'm having a restless night all 6 will get a turn with a lil pillow hugging thrown in for good measure!

EnderD_503 · 10-18-2011, 02:49 PM

Eh, it changes night to night and throughout the night. I tend to change positions a lot before eventually falling asleep, and it's rarely in the same position. I usually alternate between some "fetal/yearner/freefaller" position, though sometimes I find its easier to get to sleep in a "soldier" position on nights where I find it hard to get to sleep. My "yearner" position also involves resting my arms on half my pillow.

And yes, the blanket rarely covers all of me except sometimes in winter. I hate heat/feeling too hot when I sleep.

I think their linking of sleep positions and personality is a bit silly, though

Either that or I have numerous personalities

Hack · 10-19-2011, 04:16 PM

Starfish if both muscle relaxers and pain meds have been deployed. Yearner if not as heavily drugged. And I am a confirmed pillow hugger or spooner (if I have special company) in this position.

Sachita · 10-19-2011, 04:27 PM

Free fall and festus. I'm all over the bed and hard to sleep with. I also like to sleep naked. What does that say? lol
