hey everyone and welcome to top tank today we're going to learn what your sleeping position says
about you now let's begin number one the law do you sleep on your side with your arms glued
to your body this position is called the log now while it looks pretty uncomfortable it's actually
the second most common sleeping position in the world around 15 percent of all people sleep like a
log every single night the log is a great position for your neck and back sleeping on your side
with your limbs straight keeps your spine in its natural shape it also reduces the risk of snoring
and sleep apnea but loggers are prone to arm numbness and shoulder pain so what kind of people
sleep like a log well this position is stiff and boring but loggers are exactly the opposite people
who sleep in this position are social butterflies they're friendly and easygoing people who attract
introverts extroverts and everything in between loggers are talkative loggers are confident and
they're trusting to a fault but loggers do share one common problem they tend to be a little bit
naive or gullible loggers always try to see the best in everyone even if it comes back to
bite them number two the zombie the zombie and the log are pretty similar instead of sleeping
with your arms at your side zombies reach their arms out in front of them like the log sleeping
like a zombie is a very comfortable position for your body it preserves the shape of your neck and
back while opening your chest because you're no longer sleeping on top of your arm zombies rarely
experience arm numbness or shoulder pain even though the zombie in the log or similar sleeping
styles they reflect two very different personality types while logs are open and inviting zombies
can be shy they're good-natured and confident but they're suspicious of new people they take a while
to really open up with friends and in life zombies make slow and deliberate decisions they choose
carefully but once a zombie has done their due diligence they make fantastic friends and reliable
coworkers the biggest weakness of a zombie is their pride they can be a little bit stubborn
at times but overall they're kind and dependable people number three the baby do you sleep curled
up in a ball the baby is the most common sleeping position in the world around 41% of people curl
their legs up to their chest every night that's almost half the entire population it's especially
common among women in fact twice as many women sleep in this position is men the baby reflects
a person who's hard on the outside and soft on the inside they sleep curled up in a ball
because they want to feel safe and comfortable you may have already noticed a running trend with
these sleeping positions a sleepers personality often opposes the way they sleep well why is that
because we're most vulnerable during those eight unconscious hours so even if you're big and tough
during the day you may curl up like a baby when it's time for bed number four the pillow hugger
the pillow hugger is one of the most efficient sleepers on this list this position is similar
to the zombie with one major difference instead of reaching your arms straight outs you wrap
them around a pillow not only does this pillow give you something comfortable to hold on to but
it actually widens your chest it stabilizes your neck and shoulders and makes it easier to breathe
throughout the night that's also why pillow huggers avoid shoulder pain and numbness hey who
knew one pillow could make such a big difference like people who sleep in the fetal position pillow
huggers are cautious and lonely sleepers but instead of hugging themselves they soothe their
nerves by holding something soft and squishy in relationships pillow huggers are some of
the cuddliest sleepers they hold their partner's close throughout the night enjoying the intimacy
of another body against theirs in life pillow huggers are not always the most affectionate
people like zombies it takes a while to earn their trust when you finally do pillow huggers
become some of the most intimate and affectionate people number five the faceplant so far we've
only covered people who sleep on their sides but many sleepers lie directly on their stomach the
faceplant is used primarily by men because most women find it uncomfortable and your body agrees
the faceplant is far and away the most awkward sleeping position there is face planters sleep
with their stomach against the mattress and their limbs turned down this position forces their back
to arch which creates excessive stress in their spine throughout the night but the worst is their
neck face planners sleep with their necks twisted to the side so they can breathe this creates
intense aching and strain in the muscles of your neck forcing them into an awkward position for
hours on end many face planters wake up feeling sore every morning because their body is stuck in
such an unnatural spot so what's the personality of the average face planner face planters tend to
be gregarious and open-minded people they spend most of their time and the outdoors and they
don't mind getting their hands dirty overall face planters are confident proud and bold they make
great leaders when their backs and necks aren't aching too badly number six the twist the twist
is a combination of the pillow hugger and the faceplant to sleep in this position you have
to turn your body about 3/4 of the way now you're not quite sideways but you're not really sleeping
on your stomach either most twisters sleep with one leg up and bent almost like they're starting
to curl into a ball their bottom arm wraps under their pillow and their top arm stretches outward
like a zombie similar to the faceplant this position is very challenging for your body it
significantly increases the risk of back pain because your body sits in a twisted position
through the night raising your arm up and under your pillow also creates numbness and pain putting
unnecessary pressure on sensitive muscles in your neck and shoulder now if all that wasn't bad
enough the twist strains your chest and Airways blocking your lungs while you sleep despite this
uncomfortable sleeping style twisters are open and playful people they're fun personalities make them
great friends to have around for any occasion in life twisters or free-spirited risk takers
they're willing to try new things that 90% of people would avoid but they're not always the
life of the party in professional environments twisters are anxious careful and controlling
they're trustworthy co-workers who know when to be serious and when to have fun number 7 the coffin
this is another uncommon sleeping position the coffin looks exactly like it sounds to sleep
in this position you lay flat on your back with your arms at your sides and your legs straight
the primary drawback of the coffin is snoring when you lie on your back it narrows your throats which
amplifies your snoring however this position is great for the rest of your body many people
after back and neck injuries are told to sleep in this position because it eases tension throughout
your spine that's why back sleepers make for the sound of sleepers even if they're a bit
loud while they do it back sleepers usually match the personality of their sleeping style they're
neat and organized in bed and in real life the average coffin sleeper is analytical and logical
a careful nature makes them very dependable in the war place however coffin sleepers aren't the
most lively in social environments instead they have rich inner lives and enjoy spending lots
of time alone number eight the starfish while the starfish is similar to the coffin it represents a
completely different personality coffin sleepers are rare but starfish are even harder to find
starfish still sleep on their backs but they spread their arms and legs out as wide as they
can starfish take up tremendous amounts of space which makes them the most frustrating partners to
sleep beside similar to the coffin this position is good for your back and easy on your neck but
many starfish are loud and frequent snores as people starfish live outside the box they have
unconventional and unique personalities and they like it that way while starfish can be a lot to
handle they make wonderful friends once you get to know their quirks and idiosyncrasies their
friendly outgoing and supportive of the people they care about they're eager to listen in good
times and in bad they're active and engaged in their relationships and show incredible loyalty if
you befriend a starfish you've made a friend for life number nine freestyle do you identify with
multiple sleeping positions does your sleeping style change night after night freestyle sleepers
are more common than you'd think as many as 50% of people switch sleeping positions one or more
times in the middle of the night now while this activity is good for your body decreasing muscle
tension and strain it does take a toll on your sleep quality freestyle sleepers are restless they
often wake up in the middle of the night which makes it harder to achieve a deep restful sleep
personality-wise freestyle sleepers are a bit of a wild-card sometimes they're nervous and indecisive
other times they're outgoing and experimental you never really know what you're going to get with a
freestyle sleeper because you never know what position they're going to choose hey thank you
