According to research from experts, we can learn much about the status of our relationship by the way we position ourselves when we sleep with partners.
It may seem a little far-fetched but the reasoning behind each of the positions is likely to strike a particular cord with you and your relationship.
The research claims that there are four different types of sleeping patterns that can be attributed to when snuggling up next to a spouse. There are also seven more positioning styles for those who sleep by themselves and each reveals certain traits in someone’s personality.
Nevertheless, the rest of this article will detail the individual sleeping techniques and the actions that are associated with people in relationships.
The next time you hit the pillow, be sure to take a guess at which type of sleeping relationship you have!
The Cliffhangers
This position sees partners facing away from each other and close to the edge of the opposite sides of the bed – hence the name ‘Cliffhangers’. There are said to be two different explanations for this type of sleeping pattern. The first could be that each of the individuals likes to have their own personal space. This arrangement could also insinuate that the people in the relationship are two very different people and are an example of the phrase “opposites attract”.
The Cradle
The Cradle consists of the male lying on his back with the female positioned on her front and under the arm of her male counterpart. Again, this can have two different meanings which could be interpreted in separate manners. Firstly, this can be a sure sign that the relationship is healthy and includes a high level of intimacy. However, it can also represent that a female is experiencing stress and the male is attempting to make them feel better.
The Leg Huggers
Partners who sleep apart at night but keep connected by touching legs are considered ‘Leg Huggers’. A common sleeping trait of those in long term relationships, this type of positioning signals that partners are seeking their own personal space but, at the same time, want to stay close and feel connected to their spouses.
The Spooners
This type of sleeping style is rather self-explanatory and involves one partner being cradled up close to their other half with both people facing in the same direction. This generally transmits that the couple are extremely comfortable in each other’s company and want to be affectionate towards one another.
