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.

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.

Hmmm...

I do freefaller but with left arm down, then turn to the left into foetus but with my right arm bent up under the pillow. Then soldier slightly angled to my right, then same but left, then freefaller again to actually sleep.

Uhh, well since you actually sleep in the freefaller position, you can just join me in that category Do you think the description applies to you?

It is accurate for me. Especially the "don't like criticism, or extreme situations" part

What the hell ... I sleep in all those posistions at some point or another

I'm a yearner! and that is SO me, that description

Yeah, they need a category for people like me who flop around all night.

People really fall asleep in one position and wake up exactly the same





I would think I was dead if that happened to me

Yeah, that's kinda spooky.

I've done that many times if I do fall asleep in the soldier it can be totally comfy, and if I'm that tired I don't need to move all night!!!

Wow! I haven't slept in one position for years. I think it's because I can never turn my mind all the way off.

I'm a yearner! and that is SO me, that description
