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.
