Your favorite sleeping positions say a lot about your personalities

Numerous research has been carried out to determine the relationship between our sleeping positions and our personalities by sleep psychologists and experts from around the world. And sleep science has played a significant role in demonstrating that your sleep patterns reveal personality traits such as neuroticism, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness. Sleep researcher Samuel Dunkell writes in his book Sleep Positions, “The way we sleep is the way live”, and pointed out these four sleeping positions as in the picture below shows four different types of personalities.


If you sleep on your back, you love being the center of attention. You are a positive person who values the company of others who share your interests. People tend to notice your bold, powerful presence. You don't get involved in small conversations, things that don't live up to your expectations, or things that don't have your back.


If you sleep on one side, your sleeping position describes you as a peaceful, dependable, easy-going, busy, go-getter, and sociable butterfly person. You're constantly looking ahead, and don't look back with regret. No matter the circumstances or changes, you have a tremendous capacity for adaptation. You constantly search for the positive aspects of everything. Even when things are difficult, you never lose your smile.


If you sleep in the fetal position, then you long for safety and crave other people's compassion and understanding. You can disengage from the problems of the outside world. You are a reserved individual who does not readily open up. You're not very good at trusting people. They appear to be tough on the outside, yet they are actually quite sensitive.


If you like to sleep on your stomach, your sleeping personality describes you as a strong-willed, adventurous, risk-taker, high-spirited, problem-solving type of person. You are deemed capable of inspiring others or providing advice. You strongly prefer getting a full eight hours of sleep, if not more, to be awake and rested.
