Sleep positions

I know this will attract some weird responses, but I hope some people will answer genuinely - as I am currently doing research into establishing a link between sleep positions and personality traits.

Four questions:

1. What position do you sleep (i.e. on back, on left side, foetal, on front)

2. Are you generally an introvert or extrovert

3. are you generally a happy person.

4. Are you a confident person in your work and home life

I'd really appreciate sensible answers, but the funny replies are welcome too, to make me smile

I used to sleep in the foeatal position but not so much nowadays. I like to sleep on my right side generally but often have to turn over if hubby is breathing on me !!
I'm quite extrovert, moreso in the company of people I know.
Generally happy I suppose, though I do get p i s s e d off quite a bit !
I'm confident, but if I had to go out to work again I'd be scared. I did the same job for 16 years, from leaving school to having my last child 14 years ago and I think you lose confidence when you have spent so much time at home.

1) I go to sleep on my right side (no man to "breathe on me"!) and wake up diagonally across the bed, on my back.

2) extrovert without being loud and gobby.

3) mostly happy.

4) confident.

1. Starfish

2. Some people think I'm an extrovert because I'm loud, have a laugh that they can ear in the next town, get p*ssed a lot, flirt outrageously, occasionally sleep with my girlfriends, wear tight jeans and titty tops, drive a convertible with the stereo constantly on loud, and like to be the first one to get parties going. BUT ... I think I'm overcompensating for being a teensie bit shy.

3. Yep, although splitting up with my bf a few weeks ago has given me a few moochie moments.

4. Yep.

1. What position do you sleep (i.e. on back, on left side, foetal, on front) - front, is that sam as stomach? ( cannot fall asleep unless i lie on my stomach) and never turn or move while asleep. i wake up in the same position i fell asleep in.

2. Are you generally an introvert or extrovert - in-between, i'd say a bit of both, depends on the circumstance or situation.

3. are you generally a happy person. - always happy

4. Are you a confident person in your work and home life - always confident.

Thanks for your responses so far - much appreciated.

(I tried to ask a woman in the pub the other night, but she walked away as as soon as i asked her "what position do you like..." and never got to finish the question.)

The bruising has started to fade too...

1. I go to sleep on my front but always, without exception, wake up on my back, slightly furthur down the bed and with no pillows under my head!
2. I am neither introvert or extrovert! Truly!
3. I am not an unhappy person but am not bubbling over with enthusiasm for life!
4. I am confident on both counts!
5. I am quite complex!

I tend do sleep in a spread-out recovery position! either that or on my stomach.
generally more introvert I would say, though can be very extrovert on occasions!
generally happy but do sometimes get told I can be pessimistic :o(
have become very confident at work recently and confident at home too (unless I 've got no make-up on and someone comes to the door! Argh!)

I'm only extrovert after some southern comfort but often fall asleep any way.
I had my first decent nights sleep last night in about 5 weeks.
I get pins and needles in my arms if they are folded.
I snore. :-(
I would love to sleep on my back but I get a neck ache.
For some one who could sleep for england if it were an olympic avent I know find it hard to sleep right through the night with out waking up with Stomach acid, with a dead arm, in a pool of drool or busting for a pee.
I am screwed.

I prefer to sleep on my back, but due to snoring, try to stay on my side.

Generally quite introverted, prefer my own company or one to one.

Reasonably happy, but prone to depressive moments and pessimism.

Relatively confident, moreso at home than at work.

I will, lajohn,

Just thought this was an useful way to get a bigger sample and cross section of people than I would usually talk to.

There may well be more questions as i go along, which I'll put in a different thread. I'm keeping all responses to see if I get any sort of pattern.
