1. Like spoons in a desk drawer
In such an intimate and comfortable position, young couples usually sleep for the first 3-5 years of living together. Similar to the germinal position of the embryo in the mother's womb, this position gives both partners a sense of security and safety, creating maximum physical intimacy. In most cases, it is the man who embraces the woman. Pairs in which the relationship of both partners are equal, overnight several times mirror this position, that is, when one partner turns over, the other follows his example and hugs him from behind.
2. Honeymoon hugs
Hugs face to face - the top of intimacy. This position is less common than the previous position of "Spoon", and in general it is more uncomfortable to sleep in this position all night. Usually in this position, lovers are sleeping in each other partners who want to dissolve into each other, at the very beginning of their relationship or immediately after making love.
But couples who are in a longer relationship, for example, during periods of some joy that happens, or if partners feel strongly dependent on one another, can sleep like this. If your partner likes this position, and you find it uncomfortable, wait until he falls asleep, and then accept a more comfortable position.
3. Roof tiles
One of the partners (most of the time a man) sleeps upside down in a position that psychologists call "royal", indicating a highly developed "ego" and the desire to dominate. The woman thus lies with her head on the man's shoulder, which means that she is a more dependent and compliant partner, and this position helps her feel that she is protected and taken care of. This position indicates a high degree of trust between partners, and likes many couples who are in a stable relationship.
4. The Cradle of the Beloved
This is a more intimate version of the previous position "Tile", because in this case, the woman is hugged, and not just put her supporting shoulder. A woman is literally taken under the wing, offering her love, support and protection. This situation is especially appreciated by women during periods of crisis in a relationship or a difficult life situation. But do not necessarily wait for the crisis to try to sleep in this situation. In addition, the hugging party may be not only a man, but also a woman who wants to relieve the stress of a man after a hard day's work.
5. Free bundle
Newlyweds often sacrifice convenience during sleep in order to feel closeness to each other. Approximately five years later, many couples begin to understand that their stable relationships will not be threatened if they allow themselves a bit more freedom and comfort during sleep. Therefore, such partners often sleep in a position reminiscent of the position of "Spoons", but with a large distance between them. Emotional communication is supported by touching the arm or leg. This position balances the desire for closeness and the need for comfort. This is quite an intimate, but sexless position.
6. Foot embraces
Some couples feel uncomfortable with direct physical contact, so their embraces during a dream occur as if by accident: your foot "accidentally" touches the foot or foot of a partner, or you put your foot on your partner's leg. Woven legs embody friendly relations and comfort during sleep. This position may also indicate that one of the partners is reluctant to show their feelings or intentionally does not want to show them, for example, after a quarrel.
7. The style of "Zen"
After a long marriage, the tendency to acquire personal space during sleep increases. As the establishment of strong close relationships, each of the partners strengthens the sense of individuality and independence. In this regard, many couples in this period of life tend to purchase a wider bed so that each partner has enough personal space. However, a sense of intimacy still exists between partners, due to the touching buttocks.
8. As in the sea ships
When your half suddenly retires to the far edge of the bed and falls asleep, you, looking at the back of this very half, can feel rejected. But is it really so? Experts emphasize that there are no "right" or "wrong" positions during sleep. Although this position may sometimes indicate any problems that have arisen.
Try to understand what caused this situation: anger, resentment, anxiety? If you know that your partner is experiencing any difficulties at the moment, let him have some personal space, at least during sleep - you too may need it when you are sad, you have stress, or when you just want to stay in loneliness. Most likely, after a while your closeness in bed will resume, and your mutual position during sleep will change.
9. Crab
If you or your partner are sleeping in some strange position, almost falling off the bed, as if trying to maximize the distance between themselves and the partner, or wake up the next morning in the position of a jack, then this should alert you. It is possible that such a position is caused by the unconscious desire of your partner to move away from you or interrupt your relationship.
But do not worry if there are no other disturbing signs in your relationship that indicate a possible break. To a frequent change of position are also very active and energetic people, or creative people.
