How do you sleep?

Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service and a visiting professor at the University of Surrey in southern England, has identified six common sleep positions and what they mean.


"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 says about us," he said.


Crouched in the fetal position is the most popular sleep pattern and favored by 51 percent of women, according to the results of the study he conducted for a large hotel group.


Fetal sleepers tend to be shy and sensitive while people who assume the soldier position, flat on their back with arms at their sides, are quiet and reserved.


Sleeping on one's side with legs outstretched and arms down in what Idzikowski refers to as the log, indicates a social, easy-going personality. But if the arms are outstretched in the yearner position, the person tends to be more suspicious.


The freefall, flat on the tummy with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6.5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually brash and gregarious.


Unassuming, good listeners usually adopt the starfish position -- on the back with outstretched arms and legs.


Idzikowski, who identified the positions by comparing personality traits of people, their preferred way of sleeping and the most common positions, said once a sleeping style is adopted it is rarely changed.


"What's interesting is that the profile behind the posture is often very different from what we would expect," he added in a statement.

Sleep is for the weak!

[hellzbellz]

i sleep with alot of pillows... and a heating pad to keep me nice an toasty. :017:

[craz_e_blossom]

I just love to sleep and I don't care how I do it.

[kAyB]

i usually either sleep on my stomach or in a fetal position

[bebu*funfun]

^^sammeee here!

whenever i fall asleep on my back i get really bad backpains in the morning.. fetal position hugging a teddy bear is the best. or poutin into the pilliow with my tummy down.. is always comfy as well.

Hmm... considering the low percentage in the survey, I'm surprised at the number of flat-on-the-stomach sleepers we have here. Then again, maybe ravers are just, ah, 'gregarious' by nature. :284:

PS: I'm a stomach sleeper too.

Naked, in the fetal position, spooning my stuffed Panda-bear, Carl. Is it fruity for a guy to sleep with a male stuffed animal? I mean it's not like there's penetration involved....most of the time.

I sleep curled up in a ball, on my stomach and on my side, or even on my back. I never wake up on my back though ;)

Tummy sleepers massive represent !!!

I think those stats must be off - cause I know plenty of tummy sleepers
apparently it's just awful for your insides cause everything gets all moved and squished, but it's the only way i can fall asleep
