What Your Sleep Position REALLY Says About You

I am here to reveal the truth about how you sleep.

Some of you may have read articles that explain the meaning behind your sleep position. Whether you are sleeping solo or with a partner, it seems that each position has a hidden meaning behind it. If you're curled up, then you are vulnerable. If you sleep far away from your partner, then you need distance.

Today, I am here to finally explain the TRUE reason why you sleep the way you do, according to my own unofficial and purely non-fact based ideas. Enjoy.

1. The Fetus

While some may say you are sensitive, I believe you are simply a person who enjoys sleeping in the most natural position, the fetus. It gives you the perfect position to hold a cuddly stuffed animal and is ideal for side sleepers. Open to anyone who is quiet or loud or whatever else they want to be.

2. The Freefaller

This person is always ready for a back massage. Laying in the optimum position, they are just waiting for someone to offer them a relaxing bedtime back rub.

3. The Log

I struggle to understand how this person can stay balanced on their side, for I would fall to my back or stomach once I am relaxed. Nevertheless, this person is ready for a quick escape. Forget having to untangle yourself from all those sheets, just roll over on to the floor and you are safe from any harm!

4. The Yearner

Perhaps one of the smartest sleep positions of them all, this person is prepared to either accepted a gentle hug or an offering of food. Their hands are outstretched and ready to grab hold of the nearest bedtime snack.

5. The Soldier

This person has either seen Sleeping Beauty too many times or likes to do the yoga Corpse pose a lot. Either way, this is the easiest sleep position to mess with. Be warned: friends may draw on face with marker or place whipped cream in your hand while tickling you under your nose. Proceed with caution.


BONUS SECTION: Couple Sleeping Positions!

6. The Tangle

The most impressive of all couple sleeping positions, it appears that both parties have given up the notion of being comfortable while they sleep. This sacrifice is all in the name of remaining as close as possible all night long. I applaud you, for I would never be able to maneuver this incredibly tangled and suffocating position.

7. The Unraveling Knot


These people are the smart ones. They start in a tangled love twist and quickly realize that this is not a suitable sleeping position. A for effort, A+ for learning to be comfortable.

8. The Spoon


A classic. The typical yet often uncomfortable position that many couples end up using by default. I personally find this suitable for watching movies and cuddling, but not sleeping. The big spoon is left out to the cold breeze of the night while the little spoon is forced into a claustrophobic ball. Looks cute, not ideal.

9. The Liberty Lovers

My personal favorite, the one known as the "We need some space" position, is not appreciated enough. Despite what some may say, I do not believe that this means a couple is needing distance in their relationship. Rather, I believe that these two people simply do not like laying on top of another person while they are trying to sleep. Honestly, who can blame them?


I hope you all realize that no matter who you are, you can sleep however you want. Your sleep position does not define you. Sweet dreams, folks.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
