3. Yearner position:
The shoulder is straight, legs slightly bent forward, hands stretched forward, and may go under the pillow.
13% of study volunteers reported sleeping well. This position denotes a more complex personality. Though friendly and open, one tends to be a little cynical and suspicious of others. Decision-making takes place very calmly, but when you find a reason it is very hard-headed and there is nothing that makes you change your mind. You can be the best friend and be affectionate to everyone.
4. Soldier position:
Sleeping with belly up, legs spread wide at the hips or shoulders, arms are stretched along the body (usually glued).
No more than 8% sleep this way, with chin facing the ceiling. These people are reserved, quiet, almost without strong emotions, do not talk much about themselves to others, do not like the “common” and have very high goals and objectives. They are loyal and protect their family and loved ones, as well as enhancing interpersonal ties.
5. Freefaller position:
It is called this way because it seems that people have just fallen from the sky. They are lying on their stomachs, with their heads turned to one side, with one hand under the pillow or stretched up.
They represent 7% of respondents in the survey. They are very intense people, extroverted, daring and, in the background, very sensitive. They love freedom very much, they do not like being “driven” about what to do (in any field, love, career, family, society, etc.), much less being criticized.
6. Starfish position:
It is the opposite of the previous one because the person is facing upwards, with the arms circling partially or completely the pillow and the legs semiflexionadas or a folded one.
It is the preferred position of 5% of people, who are better at listening to problems from others, very good friends, always willing to help others, but most of the time they prefer to be the center of attention wherever they are.
The lateral positions (fetal, trunk and melancholic) are the healthiest. According to the doctors, one should sleep on the side to avoid putting pressure on the heart and the most vital organs. It is advisable to rotate on the right side. Some texts also recommend changing positions in the middle of the night (half on one side and a half on the other).
The two back positions (star and soldier) can cause restlessness at night, also contributing to snoring and other respiratory problems such as apnea. In turn, they produce stomach reflux.
Lastly, the only bump (free fall) is good for digestion according to some, while others indicate that it is the least recommended because all vital organs are “pressed” against the mattress.
