10 Couple Sleeping Positions And What They Say About Your Relationship

If you have a significant other, odds are, you've slept together. And no, I don't mean sex — just sleeping in the same bed (lol).

Regardless of whether it's every day, sometimes or rarely, every couple has their go-to sleeping position. Here are the 10 common ones and what they say about your relationship:

1. The spoon


Are you (or your partner) protective of the other? This is where the “big spoon" sleeps behind the “little spoon," front to back touching, and it likely represents a relationship where one partner is protective of the other. Security is important to you as a couple, and you often allow yourselves to be vulnerable around each other.

2. The jetpack

Basically the opposite of spooning — this is where the “little spoon" spoons the “big spoon." If you and your S.O. sleep in this dynamic versus traditional spooning, you probably have a pretty open, trusting (and potentially goofy!) relationship.

3. Pillow talk

Zayn, where you at? If you fall asleep facing each other, you two likely have a relationship that is very dependent on emotional intimacy and open, honest communication.

4. Back kissers

Usually sleeping with your backs touching, you and your partner probably feel comfortable with your relationship dynamic and are typically very relaxed around each other.

5. Liberty


If you and your partner usually sleep back-to-back without touching, you both likely feel a large sense of independence in your relationship and are supportive of each other's individual endeavors.

…That, or you just make each other too hot when you sleep too close.

6. Tangled

Legs, arms, hands intertwined — this sleeping position represents an intimate, intense relationship. You probably feel head-over-heels for your partner.

7. Stargazing

You were both probably back-sleepers, to begin with, so this position just makes sense. You're likely both introverts and have a down-to-earth, simple relationship dynamic.

8. The nuzzle


One partner rests their head on the other (cue the “aww"s). If you and your S.O. sleep in this position, you likely have a romantic, vibrant and strong relationship.

9. One appendage

Maybe cuddling body-to-body is just too much. Maybe one of you snores too loudly. Regardless, you still want to be touching somehow, so connecting legs, touching feet or holding hands is the solution. You both are probably independent but still highly value physical expressions of love.

10. The bed hog

No matter how much you love your S.O., everyone hates this position. Candidly, I hope you never end up with someone who does this. If your partner does, they likely feel entitled and dominant in the relationship, so it's probably time for a chat.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
