rach 1 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I am often the starfish position, apparently! http://edition.cnn.com/2003/TECH/science/09/16/sleep.personality.reut/index.html Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I am in the 6.5% of 'freefall' sleepers, but I doubt that I am "brash and gregarious" as this position suggests. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 If 51% of women sleep in the foetal position, does this mean that 51% have a similar personality? Does changing your sleeping position (your 'body language') suggest a shift in personality? And what are the personality implications of those who suddenly yell "Mou, kono yarou, yamete!" and smack you in the face from the starfish position? Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Found this on anther website.... Freefallers ......" They tend to have "a brash and gregarious exterior," although this confident front hides a nervous personality who responds badly to personal criticism."... I am a uncategorised sleeper! I sleep on my back with arms behind my head. whats that a "taking it easy" sleeper? Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 My own research into this matter has shown that those who sleep in the freefall position, while being brash and having some other unflattering characteristic associated with them, also tend to look more like a surfer when they snowboard.

enderzero 0 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I have a lot of trouble sleeping without a pillow. I always put one arm under the pillow and my head. I have a good friend that never uses a pillow. If I have a choice I prefer 2 or even 3 pillows (all nice foam please) but never more than 3. What are your pillow preferences? Anyone into wood neck blocks? Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 2 pillows for me, nice and soft. I'm like you, no pillows and it's a bad nights sleep. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I have 3, one under my head, one tucked between my legs, and one held in my arms. They get kicked around a bit, but rearranged again in the night. Can't remember for the life of me how I got into the habit. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Yeah, the leg pillow thing is kinda weird. I have tried it, and while it is comfortable I wouldn't want to make it a part of my routine. Ever tried a body pillow? It is a long pillow you hug like a small person. It could take the place of both of your beneath the sheets pillows. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Quote: The freefall, flat on the tummy with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6.5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually brash and gregarious Quote: i sleep like that. in japan im a little bit out going but in my home country im kind of shy.

slow 0 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Ah, my BF told me I'm the suspicious position... Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 slow, you're going to have to clarify that! ender, I've seen those pillows and have been tempted but I see two problems - no washable covers, and having to share the futon with something almost as big as me.
