That hurt my eyes.

How about "Actually, it doesn't. Checkboxes open an opportunity for abuse."

Is that so hard?

[MaxPower2k3]

You cannot go to sleep on all those sides all at once! This aint no quantaum Mechanices to figure that!

I sleep face down but often wake up like this:

Humans are the only species of animals that sleep on their backs. No other animal sleeps on it's back. (well thats what i've heard)

I actually didn't even understand that sentence until Gankdawg corrected you.

Sleep position gives personality clue
If you want an insight into somebody's true personality, then try to catch a glimpse of the way they sleep.

Scientists believe the position in which a person goes to sleep provides an important clue about the kind of person they are.

Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, has analysed six common sleeping positions - and found that each is linked to a particular personality type.

"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.

"What's interesting is that the profile behind the posture is often very different from what we would expect."

To see the six positions studied by Professor Idzikowski

# The Foetus: Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.

This is the most common sleeping position, adopted by 41% of the 1,000 people who took part in the survey. More than twice as many women as men tend to adopt this position.

# Log (15%): Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.

# The yearner (13%): People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.

# Soldier (8%): Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.

# Freefall (7%): Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.

# Starfish (5%): Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention.

The remainder of those in the poll said the position they fell asleep varied or did not know.

Health effect

Professor Idzikowski also examined the effect of various sleeping positions on health.

He concluded that the freefall position was good for digestion, while the starfish and soldier positions were more likely to lead to snoring and a bad night's sleep.

Professor Idzikowski said: "Lying down flat means that stomach contents can more readily be worked back up into the mouth, while those who lie on their back may end up snoring and breathing less well during the night.

"Both these postures may not necessarily awaken the sleeper but could cause a less refreshing night's sleep."

The research also found that most people are unlikely to change their sleeping position. Just 5% said they sleep in a different position every night.

Duvet position

Professor Idzikowski also found that one arm or leg sticking out of the duvet is Britain's most common position, followed by both feet poking out the end.

One in ten people like to cover themselves entirely with the duvet.

so true but if you put it in context...

Lets see what is normal.

ohh wait there is no context

[SOLIDAge]

i sleep on my right side.
i had a pin put in my hip when I was 15
sleeping on the left side really hurts my hip
can't do it.
i've also been told that when sleeping on a bed that is to small for me(most are, i'm 6' 6"), i will actually lift my feet up and sleep that way (like girl on left side)! crazy hu?

[MilkmanDan]

When I first saw that photo I was like "Is he saying he sleeps with two girls at night?" But then I realized, if that was so, then he wouldn't need MacNN.

I sleep in the freefall position, which probably explains why my breath smells so bad in the morning with what he said about stomach contents coming back into the mouth. Blehh.

Just drink some Listerine before you go to sleep, that will slove your bad breath problem.

I would highly advise against drinking listerine.

[MilkmanDan]

Can I put my vote in for "usually with a cute girl by my side."

[andi*pandi]

freefall, but I change sides a lot. After being pregnant, you get used to sleeping on your left side since sleeping any other way is verboten.

i realize the context and intention of your post, but i need to say that if youre looking for chicks on macnn, youve got a long road ahead of you.

[Fyre4ce]

There are two things I can say with certainty about the way I sleep:

1) I sleep whenever I have time , wherever I can, for as long as I can.

2) I prefer sleeping with my arms up around my head. This can be either grabbing the pillow, one arm under and one arm over (if lying on side), hands under head (if lying on back), or hands in front of head (if lying on abdomen). Not too sure why I like it but I do.

[wdlove]

I sleep on my left side toward my belly. Usually have a dog next to me.

[Scifience]

[fireside]

which ever way feels most comfortable to me on that night. i usually end up not even close in the same position too.

[the_glassman]

Whatever works. Usually in the fetal position with a pillow between my knees.

[nforcer]

I sleep sort of in the freefall position, except more with my hands under my pillow. I use only a corner of the pillow for my head, and put another pillow on top of my head, as to not expose my neck or head to anyone who would be passing by (burglars, vampires, etc.). I also put a blanket over my neck for extra protection. Then I have a huge pillow above my sheets but under my blanket that I put my feet under, and a row of pillows to one side of the bed that I might roll into. The row also acts as a convenient decoy for whoever might be out to get me. I also find it impossible to sleep without some kind of white noise, and a loud one at that. If there is a tv or radio on or someone talking in another room, I find it very difficult to sleep.

I sleep best when I'm certain that someone is out to get me or when I hear strange noises that I cannot easily identify. The feeling that someone or something might be right behind me and ready to kill me is usually the only way I can get myself to stop moving and thinking, and hence, finally sleep.
