What's your favourite position...

to sleep in?

I like sleeping on my front with my arms drawn up close to me.


EDIT: Hahaha, I knew this would immediately get a few answers! What did you think I was talking about, you pervs?!

The reason why I asked: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3112170.stm

People actually care? I sleep whichever way I fall when I hit my bed. Or my floor. Or my wall. Or my bathtub. I'm so tired after school+something afterschool+fencing+homework that I usually don't even think about it.

My uncle Bruce, had to be put in the hospital when he was out in Iraq b/c he lost motor control in his arm and they didn't know why. He was driving Oil tankers, so it was pretty important. It turned out that since he always slept in his cot the same way against the metal bar, it just brought enough pain up to kill the nerves or something. Didn't matter, he came home with his troop like a week or two later.

I like sleeping face down with my arms drawn up close to me.
Old school huh? Classic.

As to me, on my side, back to the wall. Keeps me cool. Good for the spine.

Every now and then I try to mix it up a bit, facing down, facing up, facing the wall (not quite as comfortable. go figure.) And let's not forget the ever-popular sleeping bag (love sleepin' on the floor, rarely get the chance to do it though, conflicts with my social life).

oh well.

I'm the freefaller category.... very interesting. I wouldnt describe that as completely accurate, since I rarely lose my temper, and in general I can keep it together really well, except for when it comes to family issues.

DFP, I also belong to the freefallers and no, I can't see any prallels between the description of what I should be and me.

I'm a cross between freefaller, starfish, and foetus...which makes no sense, so I guess I'm going to die soon. I don't think sleeping position really says anything about personality.

I guess that I am now officially soft and sensitive on the inside. I sleep in the "foetus" position. Although sometimes I switch to the freefaller.

Freefaller?

Back arched, arms and legs out, hands and feet up behind you?

Maybe it really does only apply to British people? I saw another research on this by Americans, and it made more sense than the BBC's version.

I'm a mix between the foetus, the log and the freefaller. Although, I'm a log sleeping on my stomache and I always cover my neck. I have this fear of someone coming to stab me when I sleep so I cover myself with pillows...

Thats a fear well founded. You dont think people just "die" in the middle of the night, now do you? No, something makes them die. If you die before before you wake, pray the lord your soul to take... hehe.
