- According to psychologists, there are 6 common sleeping positions -
and each is linked to a particular personality type. Find your personality type here and tell us how accurate is this...
➤ The Fetal: 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.
➤ 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.
➤ The 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 centre of attention.
