What Your Sleeping Position Says

I suppose there is an extremely long list of things that could be taken as evidence of certain personality types. If in the morning you crave milk, orange juice, grape juice, coffee, tea, water, hot chocolate, apple juice, or beer, well then each beverage choice could show a tendancy to one thing or another. If your hair is frizzy, straight, curly, falls nicely without combing, greyed too soon, falls out a lot, never existed...then you possess certain strengths or weaknesses of character.

Perhaps people will spend their precious time to create a study for those catergories and come up with a sure-fire way to determine a personality trend...however until I find that time, here is a question: What does your sleeping position say about you? We all are aware that when we're awake and functioning conciously (for the most part) that our body language can indicate the mood we're in or the thoughts we are thinking. However what can be determined by the way we subconciously position ourselves as we're drifting off to the Land of Nod?

Which is your sleeping position?

(the percentages are taken from a study of 1000 people)

Of course the results are generalizations and there are always exceptions to them.

The Foetus(41%): 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. 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.
