Here are their personalities and percentage of people who slept in that sleeping position:

Fetal Position 41% – Tough on outside but sensitive at heart. Shy at start but quick to relax.

Log Position (straight on side) 15% - Easy going and sociable. Generally trusting of strangers but sometimes gullible.

Yearner (arms outstretched on side) 13% - Open nature but can be suspicious and cynical. Slow to reach decisions and reluctant to change their minds.

Soldier (flat on back) 8% - Quiet and reserved. Don’t like a fuss. Set high standards for themselves and others.

Free Fallers (on stomach) 7% - Brash and gregarious on the exterior but thin skinned. Outward confidence masks a personality that responds badly to criticism.

Starfish (on back with hands above head) 5% – Make good friends because they are ready to listen and offer help. Unassuming and happiest out of the spotlight.

So what is your sleeping position? Does your pesonality match up?
