Old article, but still interesting.

hmm...well i go to sleep in the fetus position but wake up in the free fall but with my arms spread across the bed...wonder what they make of me

# Starfish (5%): 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.

Soldier (8%): 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.

Log (15%): 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.


Somewhat pretty accurate, though I also like the 'freefall' position, I start in that position but end up in one of the three above :o

I sleep like Soldier, was told it's more healthy, the description does not describe me at all lol

Fetus and Starfish combo,
do i get extra points if i like to spoon with a pillow?

[Dealz-4-U]

wow, the descriptions are dead on about me :-0

[user01]

Yeaner here, I have a problem sleeping straight. I get a headache next morning if I sleep like a soldier... :cry::cry::cry:

Free faller here... I can't sleep on my back (solider position) for whatever reason... although its suppose to be better for your back from what I've heard

Well chances are you might suffocate yourself when you're facing your pillow and not realize it because you're sound asleep. (Not the best way the go but sh*t happens)

Fetus and Yeaner here. I sometimes cuddle my pillow. :o

[mightylobo]

Someone got to say it.. Where is the 4chan position?

I am Freefall, but does not describe me well.. I am very antisocial. :cheesygri
(That's why I am on RFD)

[N_Raged]

I'm a yearner and starfish. Pretty accurate.
I cannot do freefall at all.

[Dash]

I usually fall asleep in the foetus position. and possibly move into the yearner position during the night.

I've also always preferred to be the spoonee rather than the spooner. I never know what to do with the arm that doesn't go around the girl. you kind of throw it in front of you, but then it's wedged in between you two and in an awkward position. or you could do a full hug, and she sleeps on your arm, but then it'll cut off the circulation. and I find when I'm the spooner, I get her hair in my face, and have to keep pushing it away.

My girlfriend has the same issue.

As for myself, I tend to begin in the yearner then slowly drift off into the solider position.

[EM_K19]

I'm a yearner, and this is eerily accurate.

A friend of mine, who is a physiotherapy, had a poster of all the sleeping posture hanging in his office.

The best sleeping position for your back is the foetus position with a pillow in between your leg or the soldier position with a pillow under the lower part of your legs.

interesting, thanks

[beetfarm]

The only position I never sleep in is the Fetal. I don't know why but I never feel comfortable like that.

But the description for me is pretty much spot on. Nice find.

yup. when in the fetal position, having a pillow between your legs (or as I like to refer to it "the crotch pillow"), aligns your body properly and relieves pressure on your back.
