Vanilla Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I thought this was pretty interesting...Sleep Positions - AOL Health My position is the yearner and I agree with about 50% of the description. What about the rest of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL how cool. It would look quite freaky if you slept with your eyes open too! They didn't have my sleep position either... I sleep in a kinda recovery position - although a bit more 'flattened' and my arm is not tucked under but just up near my head... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I am part Yearner and part Starfish and part they don't have it= I spoon up next to Husbands back and have my leg and arm over him. When he is having a restless dream (legs moving, talking or moaning, agitated), doing this calms him down and he doesn't wake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningStar Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I'm not sure which one I am. I toss and turn all night and end up in various positions because of pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynancy Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I go to bed in the Freefall, flop over to Fetal, back to Freefall, and I'm out. I often wake up Soldier-y. Evidently I'm a multi-tasking sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyonthewall Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I saw a different study on this years ago that labled that as the "Regal" position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 siouxz72 my Grandmother slept like you do. Flat on her back, with the covers up to her armpits and her arms outside the covers, stiff at her sides. She never moved during the night either. I had to share a room with her for 13 years! She scared the dickens out of me too. I thought she died every night and came back to life when the sun came out. I went to bed hours before she did, but when she came into the bedroom it always woke me up. I would wait for about 30 minutes after she turned out the lights then I would get up, take my blanket and go sleep in my parents room, under their bed. I didn't want to be around Dead Grandma! She had the same mattress for 30 years! She hardly weighed anything, and there wasn't a dent, stain, or ravel in that mattress. When she passed on, my little sister got her bed and the rest of her furnishings. She still has them too! Grandma always bought the best of quailty when it came to her comfort. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ticked her off that she couldn't do the things that she could do when she was in her 30's and 40's. That her hands shook, and that she couldn't lift the same weights- huge cast iron fry pan and griddle, cast iron dutch oven, etc. That she ached all over from arthritis.
