Or are you more like this?

 

Statistics under spoiler:

 

From his survey of 1000 people, Idzikowski identified six positions and claimed to detect personality traits based on them:

 

Fetus (41%)

Log (15%)

Yearner (13%) 

Soldier (8%) 

Freefall (7%)

Starfish (5%) 

The remaining 11% stated their position varied or did not know. A Canadian survey found very different preferences, with 39% of respondents preferring the "log" position and 28% preferring to sleep on their side with their legs bent.

 

Couples

A Travelodge survey found that 50% of British couples prefer sleeping back-to-back, either not touching (27%) or touching (23%). Spooning was next, with the man on the outside 20% of the time vs. 8% with the woman on the outside. 10% favored the "lovers' knot" (facing each other with legs intertwined), though all but 2% separated before going to sleep. The "Hollywood pose" of the woman with her head and arm on the man's chest was chosen by 4%.

 

To submit a poll for the MH POLL OF THE WEEK, P.M. either @CAT5 or @beni with your poll question, choices, and state whether it's multiple choice or not.

I used to sleep on my stomach but I heard you get wrinkles doing that so I started sleeping on my back instead.

[allisapp 303]

Uh, I guess the closest thing is The Freefaller, but with my right leg thrown to the side. XDD (Like how it is in fetus...) Sometimes (quite rarely) The Fetus. So I guess it varies! :'D

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

Where's the "covered in cats" option

[kyoselflove 2680]

Couple - me pushing him off the damn bed so I can sprawl out.

[doombox 4421]

Fetus position. Basically have to be on one side or the other to sleep. When I lived with my ex it was a Lover's knot. Touch legs for like 10 minutes them get the hell out of my way so I can sleep plskthx. lol.

[JukaForever 758]

ass up, face down

 

[MaikoMizu 167]

A combination of the fetus/yearner.

[violetchain 912]

Freefall all the way.

[Aferni 2381]

Same as juka, face down ass up.

[CAT5 9075]

Fetus position. Basically have to be on one side or the other to sleep. 

 

Same. When I first injured my knee, I had to sleep on my back and that was some of the worst sleep that I can recall.

 

 

As for couples - one of my exes used to sleep diagonally lmao o_0

[anakuro 847]

yearner, soldier, fetus. I move around a lot in my sleep, oops. 

 

teenager me also slept in the freefall position a lot, lol. but i don't sleep on my stomach anymore.

[Visutox 188]

Freefall all the way.

[yakihiko 1480]

Fetus and Freefall

[Duwang 676]

I switch between fetus, yearner, and starfish.

[Deathtopi4 428]

it's usually fetus or freefall for me. For the couple probably loosely tethered like in that photo would be the closest thing lol...

[saishuu 3220]

Fetus all the way. Every once in a while I catch myself sleeping in the Freefall position too, but that doesn't last long as my arm usually gets numb pretty fast.

[Ro plz 1290]

Free fall and Yearner when its just me. 

 

Couples: Spoon and Sweethearts cradle. 

[Bear 1817]

Couple - the feefaller with one leg thrown outto the side, just like the foetus. Always.

[beni 2149]

Always am 'The Freefall.' Surprised that's in the lead!

[Replicant 133]

I don't pay attention to positioning since I move a lot in my sleep. Probably either starfish, soldier or yearner since those seem like positions I start out with when I try to sleep.

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Usually I start with Starfish, then end up in a Freefall position. And sometimes if I wake up in the middle of the night and try to go back to sleep it changes to the Foetus. xD

[ghost 2687]

They forgot

 

Around the World

[Lestat 2167]

Recently it's been the Soldier or Freefall for the moments in which I can actually sleep at all.

[togz 2004]

Most accurate description of me sleeping is literally face down and hardly breathing. I've had people say they think I died and have to shake me just to make sure I'm alive.
