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.

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.
