Sleeping position

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3112170.stm



# The Fetus: Those who curl up in the fetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.

# Log: 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.

# The Yearner: People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.

# Soldier: 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.

# Freefall: Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.

# Starfish: 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.

Must fall asleep on my lefthand side, spooning my wife.

What does that mean?

Cool. I'm going to name my next kid that.

;)

Sounds like Alexander's 1st Lieutenant. "Feotus! Take the left flank in the battle!"

I start off as a fetus, and wake a free faller - no interpretation necessary.

And thanks to Cosmopolitan magazine a few months ago, I learned women appreciate guys who sleep like this - aids in spooning.

Damn shame I learned this after I got married.

though I spread out a bit more than that picture. Still, it's pretty close to how I sleep.

On edit: my husband is a foetus. Is that how they spell it in the UK?

and the description is dead on.

That's pretty scary.

On the left hand side.

Yikes! :-)

My cat eats alot of bran

cats and bran...NOT a great combination....

:evilgrin:

And the rest of the time I'm a Freefaller / Fetus hybrid.

I picked Yearner, but I often get in a twisted position that seems to be this combo:

Top half: Yearner
Bottom half: Combo of Fetus & Freefaller (top leg bent, bottom leg straight.

So what does this mean? That I'm all of these?

Sometimes I point the bottom leg straight down though. I'm a rebel like that.

Putting the legs together is uncomfortable to me.

Morph into a fetus as I get sleepier and move into the freefall position later on.

I am a very complex individual, I guess.

Don't see that on the list, wonder what it means? ;)

It gets kinda busy during the night ya know.

Hmmm.
