Poll question: What's your sleeping position?
Edited on Tue Jan-20-04 03:59 PM by prolesunited
More importantly, what does it say about you? Do you think the correlation between how you sleep and your personality is accurate?

Poll is based on this article:

5. Umm...
Actually, that one didn't occur to me. I'll edit to include "other" since I apparently overlooked the vampires as well. :P

16. No worries

Looking wouldn't have helped. I'm undeclared in my profile anyway. Because of my avatar, I've even been mistaken for an African-American male. ;-)

7. Combination
Fetal puts me to sleep. I wake up on my belly with arms folded or to side with arms outstretched most of the time.

That being said this new age so-called science about sleep position matching personality is crap to put it lightly.

13. I'm told I sleep in all of these postions
I'm a rather eratic sleeper supposedly and a blanket hog as well. Sometimes I even snore, but not always. So, what does this mean?

28. OK
Perhaps saying "Me, Tarzan, you Jane" and dragging you by the hair to the restaurant as we traversed the palm trees wasn't exactly a subtle introduction. :shrug:

23. How do you explain this then?
My partner and I have the same sleeping position (most of the time, at least), yet we have completely different personality types.

:P

36. Been there done that before
I woke up and I was driving down the expressway about 4:30am and I was going so slow that I was almost at a standstill.
Scared the shit out of me and I have never done it again. Well at least I don't think that I have driven asleep again.

38. Actually, the fetal position IS most common
"Crouched in the fetal position is most common way to sleep, assumed by fully 51 percent of women. The most unusual is on the stomach with only 6.5 percent of respondents saying they sleep this way. "

What is unusual is the number of stomach sleepers we have. We have 24%, while studies show only 6.5% nationwide. Hmm... wonder what that says.

40. Fetal 1/2 and on my back arms outstretched 1/2
I am rather shy but also very open. :shrug: I start out on my right side and I usually wake up flat on my back with my arms outstretched.
