I am sure you guys have heard about the unconscious mind? Yes, it is that concept which states that the thoughts you are aware of are a part of the conscious, and the ideas you aren’t aware of are still there but hidden in the unconscious. Psychology students can go on and on about this forever – but why am I telling all this to you after announcing a promising title like “What Does Your Sleeping Habit Say About Your Relationship?” So, like myriad things your unconscious manifests in, your sleeping position, particularly with your partner, is a result of what’s going on in your and your spouse’s mind. And mind you, even the two of you aren’t aware of the fact that the way you throw your arms around each other or the way you allow your legs to touch each other slightly is actually giving away loads about your relationship. If you are curious about what your position says about your relationship, do not miss this article.
1. The Tangle Position

This position is also called the Honeymoon Hug position, and as the name suggests, this position is common among the newlyweds and also among people who just can’t let go of each other. While that’s just so cute, you shoul keep a check before you become too attached and dependent on each other. This is the most intimate and close-knit position that suggests that the couple has a passionate and vigorous sexual relationship. Apart from newlyweds, couples often tend to sleep in this position if they are engrossed in an intensely erotic conversation or after they have made love.
2. The Spooning Position

The word “spoon” gives away the position anyway. However, it has got three versions to it. One, the guy is spooning the girl. Two, obviously, the girl is spooning the guy. Three, there is spooning but with a slight distance. In the first version, it shows that the guy in the relationship is dominant and likes to take charge of everything. This is a very intimate position and quite sexual for a very apparent reason – his genitals touch your butt. This position speaks tons about the intimacy between the two of you. The second version where the girl is now spooning the guy says that the girl is too protective of the man to the extent of becoming slightly possessive. In the same position, if there’s a little distance between the two of you, it means that there is trust and reliability on each other but, of course, not as much intimacy as there is in a touchy, clingy, spooning position.
3. The Cradle Position

This posture is all about caring and protecting. It is the girl who typically rests her head on the guy’s chest while he is resting on his back. This position says that the girl is seeking a protector who understands her emotional needs. Also, the man is receptive to her needs and gives her the support she is asking for. Some couples tend to sleep in a variant of this position called the “star gazing” position where the two of them face the ceiling, but the girl rests her head on the man’s shoulder. While this position is as intimate as the former, it calls for a little more communication and understanding between the couple.
4. The Leg Huggers

Do you sleep with your partner with some distance between the two of you, but keep your legs intertwined with his? Then, I am talking about you. Leg hugging position says that you matter to each other but are not very expressive or open about this fact, at least while you are awake. This also means that you want each other’s attention but are not ready to openly accept this. In spite of all this, there’s a sense of balance and faith in the relationship, which you subtly express by touching each other’s legs. This posture is also common to couples who don’t like too much physical contact yet have a strong emotional connect.
5. The Freedom Finders’ Position

Moving down the intimacy meter, this position scores very less. Couples who have just had a battle or are disagreeing about some issue at that point of their lives sleep in this position. Sleeping in this posture also means that the spouses need some space and freedom without intrusions even from their significant others. Unlike the honeymoon huggers, the freedom finders are individual entities and can do without each other. They don’t emotionally depend on each other and express a clear need for liberty.
6. Distanced Together

Yeah, that sounds paradoxical, doesn’t it? But this is how couples who have nothing in common sleep. They are on different wavelengths and have opposite or different perspectives on things. Also, if one tends to sleep with their head higher than the other, then the one on the top is more dominating and boisterous while the other is certainly subdued and chooses to disagree more humbly. Experts say that if you and your partner sleep on the same level, there’s unanimity in the thought process and even more so if your heads touch each other’s while asleep. People who sleep together but with some distance between them and also a difference in the level of their heads score probably the least on the intimacy scale.
I am sure couples sleep in more than one of these positions in a single night. The point here is to gauge what the usual and preferred pattern of sleeping is. How do you usually sleep with your partner? Are you the passionate huggers or the liberty seekers? Write back to me; I am all ears.
