So what does your subconscious posture say about you? 

1. The Fetal Position
   A common position, preferred more by women. A recent study by sleep expert Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service ¹, surveyed forty one percent out of a thousand people slept in this position.
   
   Personality Trait
   You portray a tough exterior, but in your quiet moments you are sensitive, shy and warm.  Within social situations you appear much the same but warm up quickly.
   
   
2. Log Position
   You sleep on your back with both your arms down (next to your side)
   
   Personality Trait
   You are a social butterfly with an easy-going temperament, who appears trusting, sometimes to the point of being gullible.
   
   
3. Yearner Position
   You sleep on your side, with both arms out in front of your body (almost appearing as if you are sleep walking).
   
   Personality Trait
   You are open-minded, although your cynicism gets the better of you, your suspiciousness and stubbornness is hard to break especially when it comes to decisions you have made.
   
   
4. Soldier Position
   You sleep on your back with your arms down your side and close to your body.
   
   Personality Trait
   You hold yourself and others in high esteem and come across as reserved and quiet.  You prefer not to make a fuss of situations and most likely get less than a perfect night’s sleep due to snoring.
   
   
5. Freefall Position
   You sleep on your belly with your arms wrapped under or around your pillow, with your head turned to one side.  Although preferred by you, this position tends to leave your muscles aching.

   You sleep on your back, with your arms on the side, above your head or pillow.
   
   Personality Trait
   You tend to be the shoulder everyone leans on, and being a good listener comes hand-in-hand with helping everyone else.  You don’t enjoy the spotlight and feel uncomfortable being the centre of attention.  You are most likely to suffer from a poor night’s sleep due to snoring in this position.
