The Way You Sleep, Reveals Your Hidden Personality.
Research proves that the way a person sleeps can tell us everything about them – their thoughts, feelings, and desires. Take this test and see for yourself!
Psychologists established a strong link between one’s sleeping position and the way they view the world. In fact, scientists believe that a sleeping person’s body language never lies.
Of course, we don’t remain in the same sleeping position all night. Our sleeping position may change up to 40 times a night, and even more if we’re feeling particularly stressed. Nevertheless, each of us has a ‘favorite’, a position we sleep in most of the time. It tends to be the position that you wake up in (waking up to an alarm clock doesn’t count, as it can wake you up at any stage of sleep)
1. Sleeping on your back
As a rule, sleeping in this position means you’re feeling quite relaxed. It’s a sign of confidence and psychological power. People like that feel confident in any given situation, and are always ready to take in new information and make new acquaintances. However, confidence can often turn into arrogance. Spreading your arms and legs wide and taking up a lot of space on the bed indicates that.
2. Fetal position
This is position 2, characterized by sleeping on your side with your legs often pressed up against your belly, and your arms wrapped around your body or the blanket. People who sleep in this position usually stay in one corner of the bed and like to sleep next to a wall. This position indicates that a person feels intimidated in life, and doesn’t feel like engaging in situations and events happening around them. They need a ‘guardian’, someone who can take care of them and protect them from life’s challenges.
3. Sleeping on your belly
This position is characterized by sleeping on your belly hugging the bed with your arms. A person will normally rest their arms on the pillow or alongside their body, with their legs straightened. A person who sleeps predominantly in this position likes to take charge and make his own decisions in life. They often don’t take criticism very well, as they believe their own actions and decisions are the only ‘correct’ ones. This sleeping position indicates the person is stubborn and extremely driven to achieve their goal, as well as attentive to detail.
4. Sleeping on the side
The last sleeping position is characterized by sleeping on your side, but not curled up in a ball like the first one. Your arms and legs are stretched out, or slightly bent. As a rule, this position can be distinguished from the fetal position as the body tends to look more relaxed. People who prefer this sleeping position have an analytical mindset, are stable and reliable. They find it quite easy to adapt to any situation in life, and can overcome hardships without possessing extraordinary mental strength or any kind of special qualities.

What Your Sleeping Position Says About Your Personality
I'm pretty skeptical about this kind of thing. Sleep positions simply reflect what feels most physical comfortable for you.. I could literally read any of those four explanations having been told that's what my sleep position means and it'd be believable. It's like horoscopes.
Really, the reasons I sleep on my side are:
- Boobs make sleeping on my stomach uncomfortable - On my back there is no comfortable place to put my arms - boyfriend and I like to spoon as we fall asleep - I like curling the blanket around me all cozy like, which is best accomplished half curled on your side
One particular issue with this which makes me harbor skepticism is that I fall asleep in different ways per night. I don't have a favorite and about evenly alternate between 1, 3, and 4. I have even slept in fetal position on really cold nights lol. I just kind of flop to one and deal with it as I pass out 😅
I think it's funny how everything you do there's some research lab somewhere to define what that specific thing say's about you and your personality.
If my mom was to read this she would tell you that, what her sleeping positions say about her is that she has a bad back and her switching from the right to left side all through the night is simply because it's the only way she can sleep and it's how she's most comfortable. So, not every position someone sleeps in is because it's how they are as person, sometimes it's either A) just a comfortable way to sleep or B) It's the only way they can sleep due to some physical aliment or injury.
hm, is there a sprawl position trait? Like with half of your body hanging off the side and your arms at an awkward position like you have just fallen down a flight of stairs? also followed by a 'How the hell did I get here?' confused state upon waking? ಠ_ಠ
This is pop science. Absolutely nothing to suggest that any of this is actually true. And what if you sleep in different positions? Complete nonsense, the way you sleep says nothing about your personality. Besides, most people are a mix of personalities.
None of them list my positions, yeah most of the time i sleep in positions that aren't painful because neck and back problems, but theyre are a few positions i like sleeping in, like on my back with my legs on a chair seat (i sleep on the floor) or my legs resting on something semi high, or on my side with on leg and arm resting on a chair or something semi high, or on my back or side with one leg crossed over, like how guys sit, with my ankle resting on my thigh and my other leg bent at the knee standing up, hard to explain and a few other comfy positions
Sounds like BS clickbaity title thing. I would say buzzfeed but its not a list. For each one you're just listing random character traits that almost everyone could relate to.
I guarentee if I swapped all of the descriptions of the personality no one would notice. They would still relate to the one with the position they sleep in.
I don't really know what my favorite is, as I sleep in several different positions depending on where I'm at, how tired I am, and what is more comfortable at the moment. I've found I love to wrap my arms around my pillow (mainly because the underside of the pillow is so cool) and curl up near it, but I usually end up not curled up by morning. I rarely sleep on my back, but when I do, I usually have my knees bent.
I never know how I sleep - I think I fall asleep on my side but seem to wake up on my back. Maybe on my side is how I see myself and on my back is how I am.
Looks like horoscope bullshit to me lets see the "research" that proves it all.

I'm a 100% confident the way you sleep is based on your bone structure and thus different people will be more comfortable in different positions based on the fact we all have different bodies. Not on personality...

I sleep kind of on my stomach with my arms under my pillow and one leg bended and up so there is more weight to one side generally maybe that's like a cross between 3 &4?
3 and 4 are my favorite positions. Though I try to sleep on my back because they say it's better for you but I always end up in one of those positions when I wake.
Don't believe it, depends on the bed, maybe how our balls or boobs hang about it get in the way, if we sleep on foam crappy beds or spring mattresses or whatever. I don't believe this.
