These 10 pics from other people’s bedrooms will open your eyes. The worst thing is: You can’t do anything about it!
Sleeping
is a daily or nightly ritual we all have to go through in order for our bodies
and minds to continue functioning properly, that’s just a fact of life. When
you’re growing up if you’re lucky enough to be able to sleep in your own bed
then you’ve got so much freedom to squirm and twist throughout the night, but
once you get older and into a relationship that quickly changes – they need
room too! But did you know that the way a couple sleeps together
(position-wise) can tell you a lot about each person, or their relationship?
Cliffhanger
This
sleeping style usually has both partners faced back to back with one or the
other dangling an arm or a leg off the side of the bed. This could mean that
the dangling partner needs to start getting more or better sleep, but it could
also signify a growing distance in the relationship if it becomes a common
occurrence. It could also just be a temperature thing, so don’t go rushing to
conclusions without talking to your loved one if something is on your mind!

The
Crab (left side of image)
This
is the way you sleep when one person enjoys a little freedom with their side of
the bed while the other enjoys a little closeness. Even still there is rarely
any body contact when sleeping like this, but they do manage to push that as
far as possible.

The
Roof
The
classic lover’s embrace as they fall asleep; usually the woman or more feminine
partner of the relationship will nestle their head into the armpit of the other
partner. This is a position that signifies a devotion between the two and is
generally how those in new and budding relationships will lay down together.

Pillow
Talk
For
those that enjoy staring deeply into their lover’s eyes this is the perfect way
to fall asleep, plus you’ve got the added benefit of being able to talk to one
another as you fall asleep. Again, this is generally more common in newer
relationships or for those couples who truly have worlds to share with each
other.

Hollywood
You’re
probably not wondering how this sleeping position earned it’s name, because
we’ve all seen it in television and the movies for years. Usually you’ll see
the beautiful woman resting across the man’s muscular chest with his arm around
her, asleep with nothing but rock-hard musculature as a pillow. This isn’t
comfortable in the slightest, ask anyone that’s done it. Within an hour of
falling asleep you’ll wake up with a dead arm and the desire not to move your
partner. Even still, it’s fairly common.

The
Love Knot
For
anyone that longs to fall into the Sandman’s depths tangled with their lover
this is probably where you should start. It earned it’s name The Love Knot
because both partner’s limbs are tangled together, generally to untangle as
they fall deeper into sleep. This is usually a sign for a lot of erotic tension
and can signify a relationship between equals.

Classic
Spoon (woman on the inside)
A
lot of people enjoy sleeping on their sides, and what better way than the
always classic spooning? In this position the dominant partner wraps themselves
around the other like a protective and warm cocoon, a very comforting sensation
regardless of who you are.

Reverse
Spoon (with the man inside)
Just
because the masculine partner can spoon doesn’t mean the other one can’t! In
this position the “smaller” partner wraps themselves around the other in a
reverse of the average spooning. Again, it’s very comforting if you haven’t
given it a shot and can signify an openness between the partners.

Back
to Back
When
you want to stay close without having to deal with the excess body heat each
other provides. Usually in this position something will be touching but both
partners face away and have their own space, signifying an ability to give each
other space while still remaining connected.

The
Freedom Lovers
Sometimes
the summer heat is just too much and you don’t want to be touching at all. It
happens from time to time and then you’ll both need your own space to sprawl
out and roll around. Welcome to Freedom, where you could reach back and touch
your partner in a moment’s notice but you’ve got your own side all to yourself
otherwise. Couples who sleep like this are usually happier in their
relationship than those who don’t – which makes sense when you think about how
good the sleep would be.

So
the next time you get into bed, take a close look at your sleeping
positions — you might just notice something you didn’t expect. And
share this with people you know and let them find out what their sleeping
positions say about their relationships!
