Sleeping on Personality? Who do YOU think you are?

A plethora of factors determine our personalities. So far, we have discussed auras, birth order, and handwriting. In this article, we’ll try to understand how our sleeping positions can affect us. So, lay down. Relax. Put your sleeping masks on because it’s time to hit the hay.

What Sleeping Experts Say

As a person who sleeps at night in the same position every day, I don’t think I’ve ever wondered what kind of position I sleep in. In fact, I never even thought there could be a connection between my sleeping position and personality. However, sleep expert Idzikowski conducted a study to determine the association between the two factors. With approximately 1,000 British people participating, he concluded monumental discoveries.

Fetal Position

Fetal comes from the word fetus. What is a fetus? Basically, it is an unborn human baby. Have you ever seen a picture of a fetus? Their and legs are pulled close together, typically near the chest. Women were found to sleep in this position often. Furthermore, if you sleep in this position, you may be introverted, shy, and sensitive. Additionally, it could mean that you are calm and reliable; you also want to be understood and protected. Also, this was the most preferred sleeping position; it accounted for 41 percent of the sample population.

Sleeping on Your Stomach

I sleep this way. I know it’s not good for my health but it’s become such a horrible habit that I can’t sleep in any other position. Well, that’s not entirely true. Because I tend to sleep on my back when I’m sick. However, other than that severe situation, you’ll always find me sleeping on my stomach. So, what does it mean? Well, people who adopt this position tend to be open and playful. Since this position is typically referred to as the ‘skydiver position’, these kinds of people are straightforward, over-bright, and fun-loving. Furthermore, they have an immense need for control but can also take risks. Please don’t challenge them! Also, they are free-spirited and sociable. However, they can be very sensitive to criticism.

Back Position

How many of you sleep on your back? Well, at least we know Aurora from Sleeping Beauty does this. Sometimes, this position is also called the sleepy soldier. So, what does it mean? Accordingly, such individuals tend to exhibit the following attributes: hard-working, self-motivated, disciplined, and perfection-like behavior. So, this means that they take themselves and others around them seriously and high extremely high expectations for everyone. What do you think? Is it accurate?

Side Sleeping Position or “The Log”

People found in this position tend to be easy-going and down-to-Earth. Consequently, such people are talkative, warm, friendly. However, they were also gullible and naïve. My younger sister sleeps in this position and this research seems way too accurate. Sometimes, psychology can be scary in the way that it knows so much about us! But, at the same time, it’s interesting to learn more about oneself and gain self-awareness.

Leg Raised

Finally, some people tend to sleep on their back with one of their legs raised. Seems a bit impractical? I thought so too! But, some people do. So, the question is what are such kinds of people like? Well, according to scientific studies, these kinds of people tend to be unpredictable and adventurous. Also categorized as emotional and temperamental, they are attracted to excitement. But, they are moody and indecisive at times. Additionally, left leg raisers are leaders, caring, and like being the center of attention.
