So, which one are you?

ShadowMom	Date: July 27, 2008 @ 4:23 AM Study: You are how you sleep "The study, commissioned by British hotel chain Travel Inn, illuminated a possible link between six common sleep positions - nicknamed fetus, log, yearner, soldier, freefaller and starfish - and personality traits most frequently reported by members of each position group." The Yearner (on side with arms outstretched) The "Yearner" position suggests an open nature. However, these people are often the most suspicious, cynical and rational, and want to know all the facts before making a permanent decision. he Starfish (on back with arms and legs loose and outsretched) "Starfish" make good friends and are often in tune with other's needs. They're always ready to listen and offer help. They don't like being the center of attention - but do enjoy putting others in the limelight. The Log (on side with arms and legs straight down) "Logs" are easy-going, social people who like being part of the "in-crowd." They are very trusting - even of strangers - but sometimes cross the line into gullibility. The Soldier (on back with arms and legs down) "Soldiers" are quiet, reserved people people who don't like big, noisy social scenes. They set high standards for themselves and can be demanding of others as well. The Freefaller (on stomach with arms up at head) "Freefallers" don't like extreme environments. Despite an often brash and gregarious exterior, they are more likely to be thin-skinned, taking criticism strongly and personally. The Fetus (curled on side) These people often appear tough on the outside but are actually sensitive souls inside. They are shy but tend to open up once they get to know someone.
Opossum	Date: July 27, 2008 @ 4:26 AM I guess I'm... The Yearner Although sometimes I sleep in any one of the other positions on any given night. Does that mean I can never make up my mind?
evansorchid	Date: July 27, 2008 @ 1:07 PM Hmmm, I'm kind of a restless sleeper so I believe that I probably drift in and out of all these positions on a nightly basis. But then all I can really remember is that I usually wake up on the floor at the foot on my bed and I feel like I've just fallen off a 10 story building.... So, I guess 'The Freefaller'
Tattoomom	Date: July 27, 2008 @ 1:59 PM hmmmm....does it matter if your results are influenced by the fact that your spouse takes up most of the bed with his starfish posture? Just asking....
GeneHilbert	Date: July 27, 2008 @ 3:03 PM All of the above
Distilled1	Date: July 27, 2008 @ 3:07 PM damn I am a fetus and a free faller
zedsalt	Date: July 28, 2008 @ 3:06 AM Yeah, I'd have to go for some combo of the positions described. I can only sleep on my sides (Plural. I have to be able to flip/roll back and forth); the low arm is out straight, high arm curled around my huggie pillow (keeps the circulation going in the arms); legs are either out straight, bent, or one of each...the yearning fetal log?
zedsalt	Date: July 28, 2008 @ 3:14 AM One neat trick involving sleep positions: I have found that if I've had a nightmare, and I want to avoid returning to it when I go back to sleep, changing my pose almost always works. By the same token, if I wake disappointed that I'm no longer dreaming what I was dreaming, I can almost always "go back in" by trying to be in EXACTLY the same spot, same pose as when I woke. I'm pleased to report that I had a few minutes (in dream time) of lucid dreaming this a.m. Now, if I could just figure out how...
GTOriginal	Date: July 29, 2008 @ 12:44 AM I don't see "The Flamingo" on this list
BOWILLIE	Date: July 29, 2008 @ 3:49 AM you left out one..hang by your ankles in dark attics during the daylight..

Israfel	Date: July 29, 2008 @ 4:33 PM I'm a freefaller though that description is not at all me.
pangtera	Date: July 31, 2008 @ 4:26 AM Fetus for me. On a side note, I bet Tom petty is a free faller.
victorsskull	Date: July 31, 2008 @ 7:56 AM I stand up like a horse and Im hung like one too
ShadowMom	Date: July 31, 2008 @ 8:24 AM You shrinking violet, you!
FraDonaghy	Date: July 31, 2008 @ 8:26 AM A mixture between a Soldier and a Foetus. ...I honestly never thought I'd say that about myself.

miraclemaker	Date: August 2, 2008 @ 1:13 AM mine would have to be freefaller but also are fond of the jackknife or big dipper position
miraclemaker	Date: August 2, 2008 @ 1:21 AM *note jacknife is usually on your back, one leg remains straight and the other is bent at the knee
