Have you ever wondered if your sleeping position reveals something about your personality?  Several studies have proven that there’s a strong connection between how we sleep and our personality. The way we sleep is entirely dependent on our subconscious mind; we don’t consciously choose it. When we fall into a deep sleep, we naturally settle into a particular position. Sometimes we know that our sleeping position is wrong, and we try to adjust to a better one. Yet, when we’re in a deep sleep, we automatically revert to the position that isn’t ideal for us. Let’s explore some common sleeping positions.

Sleeping with arms outstretched in front:
This position is similar to the log position, but with the person’s arms extended forward. According to studies, people who sleep in this position are very open-minded. However, they can sometimes appear suspicious and eccentric. When it comes to taking action, they move at a pace slower than a turtle. But once they make a decision, they stick to it.

Sleeping on one side:
In this position, the person lies on one side (left or right) with their arms and legs straight. People who sleep in this position are very social and easygoing. They are also very trustworthy, but this very quality makes them vulnerable to being easily deceived by others.

Sleeping in the soldier or attention position:
In this position, the person sleeps on their back with their arms and legs perfectly straight. They tend to be reserved and highly organized. They take themselves and others very seriously and set very high expectations for themselves.

Freefaller (falling position or on the stomach) –
In this position, people sleep on their stomachs. However, very few people sleep in this position. These people are very lively, carefree, and open-minded. They are also social and bold. They cherish their freedom. They are not afraid to take risks, but they are also concerned about what others think of them.

Those who hug a pillow while sleeping:

Sleeping with both hands behind your head like a pillow:
