What does your sleep position reveal about your personality?

 
Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, says that a study of 1,000 Brits revealed that the six most common sleeping positions are indicative of personality types.

If this sounds ridiculous (and honestly, I'd love to see information on this study and the analysis fleshed out further than any of the reports I could find), consider that Idzikowski says it comes down to body language.

"We are all aware of our body language when we are awake but this is the first time we have been able to see what our subconscious posture says about us," Idzikowski said. "What's interesting is that the profile behind the posture is often very different from what we would expect." 

The research also links certain sleeping positions with health risks. Some aid digestion while others spur on snoring and restlessness.

Here are the six common sleeping positions and correlated personality traits and health implications, according to this study.

For the record, I used to be Soldier...now I fall somewhere between the Log and the Yearner.... This may work for "normal" people, but my sleeping position is dictated by what leaves me in the least pain.  In fact I am a single sided fetus.  I can't even switch left to right because my RA is so one-sided.  I keep thinking I'm going to end up flatter on one side than the other!
