Pilliow Talk:what Your Sleeping Position Says About You(with Pics) by pinkhill(f): 9:42am On May 15, 2015
I was saw this article on Google,so i decided to share it here..

Your sleeping habits and positions can say a lot about your personality. Nearly all people have experienced an awful night’s sleep that has drastically affected how they felt throughout the next day.

So it only makes sense that your sleep positions would speak volumes about your personality — on those nights you can’t get comfortable and when you sleep like a baby.

There’s been so much research by a variety of professors to shed light on this, too.

Professor Chris Idzikowski, the director of the UK Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, found most people don’t change their sleeping positions throughout their lives
Of all of the people he conducted research on, he found only 5 percent who said they slept in a different position every night.

Idzikowski’s research even went so far as to attribute health benefits and risks to certain positions, finding,

So what does your sleep position say about you? Well…

The yearner
This position is exactly what it sounds like: You’re lying on your side with your arms outstretched in front of you, aka yearning for something.

If this is the position you most often find yourself sleeping in, you’re most likely suspicious and somewhat cynical about things.

But on the bright side, you’re open-minded and the type of person who sticks to your decisions

The soldier
Having trouble thinking imaging this position in your head? Picture a toy soldier: on your back, stick straight with your arms at your sides.

People who find themselves in this position tend to be reserved and keep to themselves. They’re also known to hold people to high standards.

Although this isn’t one of the more popular sleeping styles, people have often claimed they get the most sleep this way

The fetal position
You’re rough around the edges, but a softy at heart who sometimes needs the protection of others.

At night, you curl up into a ball like you’re protecting yourself and you keep your knees to your chest, huddled together.

It may seem like an uncomfortable way to bend your body, but this is probably the most common kind of sleeper.

Doesn’t this speak volumes about society as a whole?

The starfish
Do you find you sleep completely sprawled out without a care in the world? Well, chances are you make a great friend and listener if this is your go-to snooze move.

Your friends come to you with their problems and you have no issue keeping them secret.

You typically don’t enjoy being the center of attention, but from time-to-time, you really don’t mind finding yourself there
The log
You find yourself passing out straight like a log night after night. This is the only sleep position to scream “social butterfly.”

You’re easy-going, popular and an overall friendly person. Your carefree nature is what draws people to you, even if you sleep like a stiff log.
The stargazer
The name of this sleep style perfectly describes the people who pass out in this position, too.

People who sleep on their backs with their arms wrapped above their heads tend to carry a happy-go-lucky attitude throughout life.

Even more impressive, these sleepers make their friendships top priority and will do whatever they can to help those closest to them
The thinker
It doesn’t matter which way you curl up because your hand is always resting on your chin. Similar to the fetal position, your emotions often vary between two extremes.

Interesting post.
Re: Pilliow Talk:what Your Sleeping Position Says About You(with Pics) by pinkhill(f): 9:47am On May 15, 2015
We live two lives: one in our dreams and one in the real world. I’m not talking about the dreamy thoughts we have while awake, but the eight hours we spend unconscious, exploring another world — living another life.

A third of our day is spent asleep (if you’re getting the right amount). That’s a third of your life.

It makes sense why people spend so much time studying the patterns and habits of our sleep schedules and styles. How you sleep says a lot about who you are when you’re awake.

Unlike many things that leave once our heads hit the pillow, our relationships never do. Our partners sleep by our sides, and if they can’t be right next to us, they’re always on our minds, swimming around in our unconscious.

So what does the way you sleep say about how you behave with them? What does your sleeping position say about what kind of lover you are? Are you guarded? Are you open?

The way you consciously act while awake and what you do when you’re asleep are two very different things.

During the day, we can control the kind of person we want to be, the messages we want to send to our partners and the way we want to be perceived.

Asleep, however, we get a true indication of our real motives and what kind of lovers we really are.

The free faller
You pass out in a carefree manner, lying on your front with your arms wrapped around your pillow, neck tilted to one side.

Many people can’t fathom sleeping on their stomachs, but this is something you’ve only perfected over the years.

So what does this say about the type of person you are? You tend to shy away from absurd situations because you don’t have a very thick skin for this kind of stuff.
Pillow hugger
I’m sure you can guess what these types of sleepers are like when it comes to their relationships.

Pillow huggers value close personal bonds, their family, friends and especially their relationships over everything else

Fetal Position: You act tough, but really want to be taken care of

This is a very common position and also, a very common behavior for people entering new relationships. Those who sleep this way are assumed to be tough on the outside, but soft on the inside.

If this is you, you most likely take a long time to get close to someone and even longer to say, “I love you.” It’s not because you don’t have strong feelings, but you’re not easily going to give into them.

It takes you a long time to be comfortable and completely open, but once you are, your relationships are full of love and trust.
Log: You’re a trusting soul who falls for the wrong people

The position of sleeping with your arms parallel to your torso and your legs is one of the serial dater, someone who may go after relationships for the social benefits more than anything.

They like to go out, be around people and have a tendency to fall for the smooth talkers and the cheaters. They are a good people, but easily tricked by the bad.
The Yearner: You distrust the people closest to you

This position involves sleeping on your side with both arms out in front. It’s a suspicious position for people who are inherently suspicious.

You’ve been hurt before and have a cynical view of most relationships.

Even in your own relationship, you are distrusting and many times are looking for something to find before you’re found out.

You see the world and your relationships as something that will inevitably end.

The Starfish: You want to give as much love as you get

A position that involves sleeping on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These are the easygoing, friendly lovers.

They float from relationship to relationship, leaving and gaining no scars, but never leaving permanently damaged.

They are loyal and honest and just want to find real love. They don’t get bogged down by trivial details or small transgressions.
The Thinker: You’re constantly questioning your relationship, until you’re not…

This sleeping position is defined by a fisted hand resting underneath your chin.

These sleepers are normally defined along the lines of those who sleep in the fetal position, with a tough exterior and softer inside.

A thinker’s exterior, however, is layered with questions. They are always analyzing and questioning the people around them, making sure they aren’t going to give their heart to someone who is going to damage it.
The Free Faller: You don’t fight for your relationship because you don’t think you should have to

These sleepers like to lie on their front with their arms wrapped around their pillows. They are inherently shy and non-confrontational.

In situations that get rocky, they tend to turn their back and leave rather than stay and fight. They don’t do well in stressful situations and for that, have a hard time holding on to relationships.

This isn’t because they are weak; it’s because they refuse to be in a relationship that’s all about fighting.
The Pillow Hugger: You love to be in love, and people love to be in love with you

This sleeping position is self-explanatory and so is the person. They are romantics and lovers; they value every relationship in their lives and just want to get close to people.

They are always looking for love, yet they don’t let that keep them from holding on to many personal relationships they value apart from their romantic ones.

They are caring, compassionate and always ready to wrap you in a hug.
