The way in which our body accommodates itself during sleep is not accidental. Studies on body language suggest that preferred sleeping posture may reflect deep personality traits, the way we cope with life, and even how we relate to others. Although it is not an exact science, many people feel identified with the descriptions associated with each position.
Here’s an analysis of the six most common sleeping postures and what they might say about you. See which one you adopt most often and find out what traits they might be reflecting.
1. Upside down: the free-fall position
Those who sleep on their stomachs, with their arms extended around the pillow, are usually open, bold and energetic people. They like to have control over situations and do not tolerate surprises or unforeseen events too well.
Although on the outside they may project an image of toughness or security, deep down they are sensitive to criticism and are affected by what others think of it. It is a posture linked to spontaneous and somewhat impulsive personalities.
2. Complete fetal position
Sleeping completely shrunken up, with your knees close to your chest, is one of the most protective postures that exist. It reflects a need for security and emotional comfort.
People who choose this position may appear to be harsh or difficult to deal with at first, but in reality they hide a kind and sensitive heart. They have a hard time opening up and trusting new people, but when they do, they become extremely loyal and committed friends.
