Crouched in the fetal position is the mostpopular sleep pattern and favored by 51 percent of women, according to the results of thestudy he conducted for a large hotel group. Fetal sleepers tend to be shy and sensitive whilepeople who assume the soldier position, flat on their back with arms at their sides, are quietand reserved. Sleeping on ones side with legs outstretched and arms down in what he refersto as the log, indicates a social, easygoing personality.
