Sleeping Positions Say More About You Than You Know [Infographic]

           The least desirable position to sleep in is… yeah you guessed it, on your stomach. That has all the effects that sleeping on your back prevents, so you might reconsider if you like sleeping on your stomach. Furthermore, you will find that it is much easier to fall asleep if you sleep on your back since you have free access to air and your body isn’t smothered by pillows, blankets or even yourself.
          In England, the most common sleeping position is to have either an arm or a leg sticking out under the blanket. What is your favorite position and do you think you could ever improve it? The thing with sleeping positions is that it is really hard to change it since we usually position ourselves in it while we are actually sleeping. It’s in our subconscious, and it happens naturally because it’s how our body feels it’s the most comfortable for us.
            However, with a little help, you can probably change it to a more optimized and healthier choice of sleeping position. Then of course, sleep can be affected by a lot of things that don’t necessarily have anything to do with the sleeping position we take when we wall asleep. Stress, worries and a whole lot of other factors play a crucial part in how well we sleep. Have a look at this infographic and see if you can identify your own position, and by doing so, maybe increase your hours of healthy sleep instead of continuously wasting sleep in a bad sleeping position.
