What Your Best Sleeping Position Reveals About You?

 Find out how a little thing like your sleeping position can predict your personality-type.

It’s no secret that how we sleep affects how we feel, but did you know that your sleeping position, or how you usually like to sleep, is also related to your personality type, and can maybe even be predictive of your personality?

Research conducted by Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the UK sleep assessment and advisory service, in connection with insomnia cure found that each of the typical sleeping positions are somewhat correlated to a particular personality type.

Sleeping Positions And Personality Types Explained

Here are 4 personality types as per Emerald Robinson,the host of the Daily Orbit,

Emerald on sleeping position

1. People whose  sleeping position is on their backs with their  arms stretched out in front are typically quiet and reserved, and they set high standards for themselves. This is called the soldier position.   Professor Idzikowski concluded that those who sleep in the soldier position were more likely to snore and sleep unsoundly.

2. If your sleeping position is face down with your arms outstretched,  you may be feeling "out of control". This position leaves people feeling tired with no energy.

3. Those who sleep with a straight body are stubborn, and will feel stiff in the morning.

4. The fetal or thinker position is the most popular sleeping position . 58 percent of people sleep on their side with their knees up and head down—which is no surprise considering it is associated with stress.

The Foetus position is characterized by sleeping on one's side, in a curled up position. Arms are curled on top of the pillow, or occasionally one arm will be under the pillow. Those whose best sleeping position is the foetal position can expect to awake refreshed, having dealt with the previous day’s issues.

Which is the best sleeping position to prevent teeth grinding and insomnia

Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is one of the most common sleep disorders, along with insomnia and sleep apnea. Bruxism occurs predominantly during sleep, always and only in those people who sleep lying face downwards on the bed, on their stomach or on their hips, as they weigh heavily with static load on their jaws.

Teeth grinding can be very mild, causing few problems, or it can be very severe, causing damage to both your teeth and your jaw. Teeth grinding can improve with a better sleeping position, some natural solutions or a special mouthpiece created by a dentist to prevent it in some cases.
