I ran across this and found it mildly interesting. Which one are you?
Congratulations “log” sleepers, you just won the lottery. Walk into your boss’ office right now and quit in the worst way possible.
Log
Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.
The remainder of those in the poll said the position they fell asleep varied or did not know.
Professor Idzikowski also examined the effect of various sleeping positions on health. He concluded that the freefall position was good for digestion, while the starfish and soldier positions were more likely to lead to snoring and a bad night’s sleep.
Professor Idzikowski said “Lying down flat means that stomach contents can more readily be worked back up into the mouth, while those who lie on their back may end up snoring and breathing less well during the night. “Both these postures may not necessarily awaken the sleeper but could cause a less refreshing night’s sleep.”
The research also found that most people are unlikely to change their sleeping position. Just 5% said they sleep in a different position every night.
What is interesting is the website this comes from… a site from the manufacturer of “lie-flat” airline seats. Now I don’t know how big these planes are that use these seats but I bet most of those sleep positions are not realistic in an airline seat. I bet you are relegated to a pseudo-soldier setup. And the reviews are not so hot either. I won’t lie though, on a long flight these would still be better than standard cramped airline seats.
