From the fetal position to the “starfish,” the way we sleep is as unique as our personalities. As depicted in image_a8f24c.jpg, there are several “most popular” ways people drift off, each with its own quirky name and supposed connection to our daily lives.
A Look at the Positions
Whether you’re a structured sleeper or someone who practically practices gymnastics in bed, here is a breakdown of the styles shown in image_a8f24c.jpg:
- The Fetus: Perhaps the most common position, this involves curling up on your side with knees drawn toward the chest.
- The Log: Sleeping on your side with both arms down by your sides.
- The Yearner: Sleeping on your side with both arms reaching out in front of you.
- The Soldier: Lying flat on your back with arms positioned down at your sides.
- The Freefaller: Lying on your stomach with your head turned to the side and arms wrapped around the pillow.
- The Starfish: Lying on your back with arms and legs spread out.
- The Qwoping: A humorous, contorted position that looks more like a game character mid-fall than a traditional sleeping style.
