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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
