It may seem innocuous, but the way we sleep with our partner each night reveals a lot about our relationship as a whole. It’s pretty interesting. While sleeping, our subconscious takes over. As a result, we unintentionally take on body language that can speak volumes about how we feel. For example:
The Spoon
According to one study, about 18% of couples sleep in this position. It’s a vulnerable position, one that’s moderately sexual, and one that says “I trust you completely.” Couples end up this way often earlier in relationships.
There’s also a Looser Spoon
The looser spoon tends to happen when a relationship has matured and it no longer feels novel. It indicates greater independence in a relationship, but is still a strong sign of trust. It’s kind of like you’re saying “I have your back,” but it’s not as inherently sexual.
The Chase
The chase is a sleeping position that has a couple different meanings. The first is that the one being chased is distant or playing hard to get. They may want to be pursued. It could also be that one person wants more space while the other wants to grow closer.
The Tangle
This is among the more intimate of all the positions. It’s likely that there are intense romantic emotions at play. It could also mean that the couple is too dependent on one another.
The Unraveled Knot
This position begins in the tangled pose but unravels after a few minutes. This is actually a good sign! It indicates you have a stronger relationship. It represents a compromise between the desire for independence and the desire for intimacy. It’s really the best of both worlds.
The Independent Lovers
If you and your partner often sleep facing opposing directions, it doesn’t mean there’s distance necessarily. It likely means there is a close enough connection that both are comfortable with being a bit separated.
