Do you sleep on your back, on your side or sprawled out across the entire bed? Your sleep position may be telling you more than you think. In addition to affecting your health (stress on organs and spine) and the quality of rest you get (difficulty breathing than can interrupt sleep), your sleep position could be linked to personality type.
Whether you’re an extroverted and brash “Freefaller,” a quiet and reserved “Soldier” or a great listening “Starfish,” this article from Men’s Health offers insights about how your sleep position is linked to your personality type, and it provides tips to get a better night’s sleep.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
- Sleep on your side for better, uninterrupted sleep. Specialists say sleeping on your side reduces your chances of experiencing insomnia, sleep deprivation and back or hip pain.
- Make sure your bed is comfortable and you have enough room to stretch out. Finding the ideal mattress firmness can make a big difference.
- Keep your room quiet, dark and cool.
