Love & The Sleep Secret
Whether you've decided to bed down with someone on the first or fifteenth date, by the time you're drifting off to dreamland you may be wondering: How well would I get along with this person in the days, weeks, or months to come? Well, according to one study, you can start doing research immediately--by checking out the position your sweetie snoozes in. After surveying 1,000 people about their personality and preferred sleep position, Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, came up with some startling accurate correlations between the two. Match your new amour's pose to one of the six categories below, and you'll have a good idea how things will pan out in the long run.
1.Curled up on his or her side. Going fetal is the most common sleep position, with 41 percent of people (and twice as many women as men) reporting this as their preference. These snoozers may seem tough on the surface, but they're actually sensitive and shy, so keep that in mind if you want to crack a joke in the a.m. about your sweetie's morning breath.
2.Sideways and straight as a log. Fifteen percent of people lie on their sides with their arms at their sides. These space-conserving sorts tend to be extremely trusting and gregarious, so if you're seeing someone like this, you?ll continue to go on plenty of group dates, dinner parties, and outings that will allow this social butterfly to spread his or her wings.
3.Sideways with arms outstretched. Warning: The 13 percent of folks who slumber with their arms reaching in front of them are cynical and slow to make decisions. But while they may dodge the "Are we exclusive?" question longer than usual, once they do commit, you can be sure they're sure.
4.On his or her back, arms at sides. This pose, common amongst eight percent of respondents, means your sweetie's reserved and has very high standards. You're with someone who'll treat this relationship with the respect and attention it deserves.
5.On his or her stomach. Seven percent of people sleep on their stomachs with their hands around the pillow and their heads to the side--and the research says these folks are pure party animals. If that's your thing, well, party on!
6.On his or her back, arms overhead. This rarest of sleep positions -- only five percent of the population sleep this way -- also boasts a very rare quality: These folks are good listeners. So whether you've mentioned you only drink decaf or love waking up to Puccini, don't be surprised if your wish comes true come morning.

Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't sound as though you're describing a position you "Sleep" in, although it's the position I like to think of you the most>

Re: Love & The Sleep Secret
Nope...that's how I sleep...although I do, all night long, alternate which leg lays straight, and which leg I curl up ...

Re: Love & The Sleep Secret
I didn't see mine listed either, I sleep flat on my back, with my hands folded together on my stomach, kinda like a corpse in a coffin, I know that's a gorry way to say, but thats best description I have.
