We’ve all heard theories on how your body language affects your interactions with people and reflects your true feelings and intentions, but did you ever think that this theory applies to how you sleep? Bedstar are here to give you an insight into how the way you sleep reveals your personality, and since your subconscious is in control there’s no chance of hiding your true self.
There have been 6 common sleeping positions identified by sleep experts and people studied were asked to describe their personalities and which way they sleep. Interestingly the positions do match up with certain character traits:
The 6 positions:
Fetal Position – sleeping on your side with your legs curled in a crouch is by far the most common sleeping position in the UK, especially amongst women. Typically this position suggests the person will be shy or harsh at first but become more sensitive on closer acquaintance.
The Soldier – the position is lying on your back with the arms straight by your sides. The characteristic personality of this sleep position is someone who is quiet and possibly introverted but expects a lot from themselves and others.
The Freefall – sleeping on your front with your hands up around your head seems to be common in people with extrovert traits on the outside but who are insecure or nervous on the inside.
The Yearner – falling asleep on your side with both arms out in front. The yearner position implies an open person who has a tendency to be stubborn and cynical.
The Starfish – this is sleeping on your back with both arms up around the pillow. It’s suggested that people who sleep in the starfish are good listeners who may prefer to be on the outside of a group but make great friends.
The Log – sleeping on your side with your legs straight and arms by your body means you are likely to be an easygoing and sociable person, generally very trusting and sometimes too much so.
Naturally not everyone sleeps in one of the above positions; some people change their sleep posture regularly or sleep in a less common position. If tossing and turning all night makes it impossible to tell how you sleep however, that could be a sign that your sleep is disturbed. For some of the most common sleep problems bedstar knowledgebase has explanations and ideas to help.
Of course if your bed isn’t big or comfortable enough then you may not be able to show your true sleeping position. But don’t worry, you can find the biggest selection of cheap beds online from futons to king size beds right here.
