According to a study by Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, there are six most-common sleep positions, and each one can give a real glimpse into what kind of person you are. "We are all aware of our body language when we are awake, but this is the first time we have been able to see what our subconscious posture says about us," he told the BBC News. "What's interesting is that the profile behind the posture is often very different from what we'd expect."
Choose your sleep style below, and see what it says about you (or your partner)!
The Fetal
The Log
The Yearner
Yearners (13 percent) sleep on their sides with both arms stretched out in front of them. They are said to have an open nature, but tend to be slightly suspicious and cynical. It takes them a while to make up their minds, but once they decide on something, they rarely waver.
The Soldier
The Freefall
Brace yourself: People who sleep on their stomachs with hands up around their head (7 percent) can come off as brash and unreserved, but are really a little nervy and thin-skinned underneath. Freefallers don't like criticism or extreme situations. Fun fact: Sleeping like this is good for digestion.
The Starfish
The remaining people studied said they either varied sleep positions of didn't really know how they slept.
Bonus fun fact: Most people sleep with one foot or leg hanging out of their sheets. After that, the next largest group sleeps with both feet hanging out the bottom. And 1 in 10 people cover themselves COMPLETELY with their blankets.
So how do you sleep?
