What does the way you sleep say about you?

CAIRO – 4 February 2018: Sleeping positions can tell a lot about one’s personality. Psychologists and sleep scientists (and yes, sleep is a field of science) have cooperated on a study of sleeping positions and what they mean.

Turns out, you don’t sleep in a certain position because you only feel comfortable in it but it is actually that your subconscious guides you into doing that. Be ready to learn a little bit about yourself and see through those unclear and confused emotions you have.

It counts as one of the most common sleeping positions; it is when you sleep with your legs curled inside. It has been found that women sleep that way more than men. People who sleep this way have a strong personality. They tend to be hard on the outside, but soft on the inside; they are shy, but eventually loosen up and become really fun and outgoing, according to a study by Chris Idizikwozski, the director of the UK’s Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service.

Sticking your knees out:

If you sleep on your side with your knees sticking out, it means you are an optimist, a trusting and calm individual who’s able to dodge and deal with any problem thrown at them.

If you sleep like this, it means you are a leader, somewhat impulsive, and not scared to take opportunities. You like an organized life and are not a fan of surprises.

Arms stretched out:

If you sleep as if you are reaching out for something, your personality is quite contradicting. You are open-minded and resilient yet extremely sarcastic, cautious when taking decisions yet abiding by them whatever the outcome is.

This sleeping position is when you lie on your side with your arms straight on the side of your body. People who sleep this way tend to be really outgoing, adventurous, trustworthy, and a bit gullible.

Lying on your back:

You are life-loving and like to be the center of attention, a hard worker and stubborn. Your friends are definitely a priority in your life and you tend to be a carefree person.

The pillow huggers:

They value any relationship in their lives the most, whether it is a significant other, a family member or a friend. They swing towards being emotional most of time and they feel things deeply.
