Sleeping Position Personality Test: Sleep psychologists and experts all over the world have conducted several studies to establish the link between our sleeping positions and our personality. Our subconscious is the powerhouse that influences how we function throughout the day, how we walk, what coffee we order, how we sleep, etc. Though we often do not pay attention to how we sleep, we just curl up in bed in our favorite sleeping position. However, much pioneering work by Dunkell on the connection between sleeping positions and personality traits. Sleep researcher Samuel Dunkell writes in his book Sleep Positions, “The way we sleep is the way live”.
Sleep Science has been instrumental in proving that sleep tells about your personality traits that can be categorized as neuroticism, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness. The European Journal of Personality states that the quality of sleep you are getting this week will likely inform your personality five years from now.
If you sleep on your back, then your sleeping personality says that you love being the center of attention. You are an optimistic individual who would enjoy the company of like-minded people. You are usually found to have a bold strong presence in a room full of people. You do not engage in petty talks or things that do not meet your standards or do not have your back. You hold really high expectations from yourself as well as others.
One will most likely hear the truth from you than some sugar-coated lie. You work extremely meticulously and persistently to achieve your goals. You live life in a structured manner with a success-driven mindset. You enjoy your ‘me-time’ a lot while laying in bed and visioning your plans become reality.
An independent person may adopt the royal position of sleeping on their back. People who sleep flat on their back show royal inclinations such as a ‘queen’ or ‘king’ of day and night. They exude self-confidence, acceptance of the world, and freeness. They are found to be open-minded, and seekers of experiences or sensations compared to other sleeping styles.
As per the sleep researcher Chris Idzikowsk, sleeping on back positions is classified further as soldier position and starfish position.
If one sleeps in a soldier position with legs and arms straight then they are usually reserved and quiet but hold high standards.
If one sleeps in a starfish position with arms and legs outstretched, they are good listeners who value friendships and do not prefer to be the center of attention. They are 'go with the flow' kind of people. They are very empathetic and supportive. They are mostly found lending an ear to someone sharing their troubles.
If one sleeps in a stargazer position with both their hands up under their head or their pillow, they are highly optimistic people who are very loyal to their loved ones, friends, and family. They are carefree and go through life with a happy-go-lucky attitude.
If you sleep on your sides, then your sleeping personality says that you are a calm, reliable, easy-going, active, go-getter, social butterfly kind of person. You are always looking forward. You are not regretful of the past. You are not scared of the future. You are highly adaptable no matter what the changes or situation. You always look for the silver lining in everything. You are highly aware of yourself, your good and bad aspects hence it is not easy to offend you. You are always wearing a smile on your face even during the hardships.
