Scientists believe the position in which a person goes to sleep provides an important clue about the kind of person they are...........hahaahahaahhaaa................

anyway..............

Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, has analysed six common sleeping positions - and found that each is linked to a particular personality type.

The Foetus: Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.
This is the most common sleeping position, adopted by 41% of the 1,000 people who took part in the survey. More than twice as many women as men tend to adopt this position.

Log (15%): Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.

The yearner (13%): People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.

Soldier (8%): Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.

Freefall (7%): Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.

Starfish (5%): Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention.
The remainder of those in the poll said the position they fell asleep varied or did not know.


I'm a Starfish.................. :rolleyes:

I kinda do all those. I start on my back until I start nodding off, then I lay on my side for a bit until I'm about out, then I'm doing da freefall.

I don't entirely fit any of them but I guess by far the closest would be 'The Foetus'. I sleep on my side/shoulder hugging the blanket/pillow or else free arm out-stretched with my legs usually straightish (not curled, but not ironboard straight either). I also alternate direction when I get bored with facing one way.


Does that make me indesisive? :D

Most of the time I’m the toss ‘n turn… :p .. but when I finally can go to sleep, I’m usually in the Foetus, Freefall, or Starfish position…

I'm none of the above. I sleep on my side, with my hands underneath my pillow. I guess I'm just a freak. :indifferent:

Don't really know. Sometimes I'll wake up with my head hanging off the side of my bed.

None quite fit. More "The yearner" than any of the others, but I've usually got one (or both) of my hands under my head.

The same report suggests that a great deal opf men assume the "yearner" position, like me.

I'm like that too. I guess we're all freaks! I personally think this whole thing is an awful lot like astrology: all of the decriptions will fit lots of people, and the actual sleeping positions are pretty incidental.

I would agree with that, I sleep depending on, which side of my nose is blocked

Freefall (7%): Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.

oh dear...that's meeeeeeeeeeee :eek:
