What Sleep Position Reveals About Love

Sleeping together is not just about sex. How you as a couple share a bed when you're sleeping says much about the state of your relationship.  If you want to know what your sleeping position says about your relationship, text us your names & how you sleep together (eg. Spoons) to 62106 now 
The Top 5 Sleep Positions:
The Love Knot
Couples who have just fallen in love often sleep in a "love knot" with their legs and arms intertwined. Be warned! It can be difficult and uncomfortable to stay like this all night long.

The Spoon
The most common sleep position for the first three to five years of marriage, the spoon is comfortable and makes you  feel safe and secure. However, it indicates that one partner--usually the man--has dominance over the other. "When a woman assumes the posterior position, it may indicate she is the more giving partner or that he needs special nurturing,"
The Royal
Typically, the man lies on his back face up, while the woman, also on her back, rests her head on his shoulder. This suggests that the woman is dependent and compliant. Still, by viewing the world from the same position, it can also add a feeling of comradeship and protection. Couples who sleep like this tend to have a lot of trust in one another and a strong commitment.
Zen Style
Couples who sleep with their backs facing and their bums touching are bonded sexually but enjoy their independence. This is a common sleep position for those who have been married for a long time.
The Freeze Manoeuvre
Partners who retreat to their own side of the bed and don't touch at all during the night, instead turning their backs to each other, are probably experiencing tension.
