Does your sleeping position match your personality? How do you sleep at night? (Registration is NOT required.) What's Your Position?

Side left

I sleep on my left side and put my arm infringement of me. I am an extroverted woman and I love to be around people. I am not shy and I love to communicate to others. I have a so called thick shell for my feelings/ emotions.

Aries personality

Fetal with pillow between legs, my head is pointed towards the south, I'm an Aries male 56 yrs. of age.

Weird

I sleep on my stomach with my hands down, I sleep on my side holding a pillow, but Im not in a fetal and sleep on my back with my hands on my abs.

What's Your Position?

I sleep in a soldier position at night but in a freefaller position in the afternoon.
—Guest Silent Shouter

Got me

Yearner - I'm extremely cynical and sarcastic. I'm always suspicious of everything.
—Guest Specter

I sleep on my side

i sleep on my side ...but sideways across the bed in the fetal position
—Guest me

Accurate - I sleep in freefall

I first heard about this on the radio and I was like "this sounds really interesting" so I was led here and its accurate as hell. I sleep in freefall and the description was almost dead on.

Back Hands Back By Sides

I use to sleep in fetal position, and could sleep with someone close next to me my whole life a lot of things have changed and now I can only!!!! sleep on my stomach with my arms out on the sides or if I have to on my left side but straight out to my side. I'm just interested to see in these kind of things but could not find 100% the answer I was looking for so if anyone knows please let me know. Thank you, Nicole

Trio

I begin as a starfish, spouting out random information if people are present, or caught in deep thoughts if I'm alone. Then I turn to the fetal position to wind down and end with the freefall position. Strangely enough I don't fit any of those personalities very much, especially freefall. Perhaps I'm an anomaly?
—Guest Noe

All Sleeping Positions

I sleep in every position except the starfish and the soldier position. The personality traits were very accurate.
—Guest Boomey

Confused too

I too sleep in the "Soldier" position but flat on my stomach...it doesn't sound very comfortable, but most nights I can't sleep any other way.
—Guest Kai

Confused

I'm a soldier, but on my stomach like freefall. But sometimes I have starfish legs. I never did quite fit into any categories very easily, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised :-)

split

I sleep either starfish or foetal. Which made me laugh. I sleep starfish unless I have to share the bed with someone else (most of the time) in which case I curl up on myself. I laughed because the personality traits were pretty accurate, I've been told I am a good listener, and I tend towards shyness with a tough exterior.
