Default Sleeping Positions


Quote:
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
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.

Yearner
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
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
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
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 center of attention.
I'm foetus, yearner and soldier.

I dont know which mine is haha, I never remember! I tend to cuddle up to my quilt or my pillow =/
My mum says its a comfort thing, I always have to cuddle up to a cushion when watching TV... helps me go to sleep haha. Yearner looks like hugging a pillow so i will say that :P
I also sleep with my hands underneath the pillow some times... but im a weird sleeper Ive been known to sleep on my knees in a ball.

I'm either Fetus or Yearner.

I'd be fetus if my legs were going away from my face instead of closer to.

Yeah thats me too. I put my hands under the pillow because it feels cold. I basically gotta have like, 10 pillows crowded around me or else I don't feel comfortable.
