This position is where couples fall asleep touching but they unravel towards their own side of the bed as the night goes on. November 2, pm Updated November 2, pm. Anne Marie Boyan, who founded The Sleep Care Company, dishes on what sleeping positions really say about your sex life. Getty Images.
If you favor the Tangle, chances are you're in a fairly new relationship and can't bear to be separated for even a second. It's an incredibly intimate position that means you can't get enough of each other.
If, however, you're still sleeping like this after the six-month mark, it could mean you're too dependent on each other. The Leg Hug is a little unclear, as it can indicate a number of things. If only one person is doing the "hugging," it could signal that they are craving a connection with the other kind of like the Chasing Spoon. And since your legs are first to react in a fight-or-flight situation, they're often the most honest part of the body.
If you're both intertwined, you're equally passionate, and the emotional and sexual connection is strong. Just like your legs, your lives are blended and balanced. A third interpretation of the Leg Hug is that since the contact is so casual, it could imply you're ambivalent about expressing affection or just had a fight but are trying to maintain a connection, despite heated emotions.
A couple that sleeps on their stomachs might want to think about having a conversation. Because sleeping facedown protects the front of the body, the Stomach Snoozer position could be indicating signs of anxiety, emotional fear, vulnerability, or lack of control.
It's also not an intimate position—none of the body parts associated with sex are in play here—so it could also mean there's a lack of sexual trust in the relationship. If your partner spreads out with little regard for where you are in the bed, it could be a negative sign for the relationship.
The Space Hog—who, as the name indicates, spreads themselves out in bed, taking up all the space—is behaving selfishly and has little regard for your needs.
If one partner dominates the bed, it's likely they dominate the relationship, relegating their partner to a secondary, submissive role. If one partner's head is higher closer to the headboard than the other's, that could signal they're more confident than their lower-sleeping partner. Conversely, if your heads are parallel, you are like-minded equals. Remember these are just clues and interpretations, not diagnoses.
If you're worried about your relationship or the way you're sharing the bed, just talk to your partner about it.
If you're happy with your relationship and fine with whatever position you doze off in, that's all that matters. Want your passion for wellness to change the world?
