10 Couple Sleeping Positions and Their Real Meanings

Even in the happiest of couples, many things are often left unsaid. However, when we fall asleep, our subconscious mind wakes up and spills all the pills.

For example, sleeping remotely while holding your hand or staying in touch through any minimal touch signifies your trust in the relationship. You don't need any exaggerated gestures to know that your partner loves you madly. Hilary Thompson, my wellness consultant, says that the slightest touch is just a small reminder of your presence and the affection you give each other. Then you can sigh. Your subconscious mind confirms that your relationship is on top of the game.

10. A spooning

The spoon indicates the intimate relationship and deep understanding between partners. This position also clarifies their roles in the relationship. If you are the big spoon, you protect your partner and can be a bit possessive at times.

9. The head is on your chest

According to Patty Wood, a body language expert and author of Signs of Success: A Guide to Reading Body Language, a couple who put their head on each other's chest shows their dependence.

8. Back to back

Who sleeps on his back indicates his strength and his desire to protect the other half. The back to back dream can have very different meanings depending on the distance between the two of you. If you touch their back, it indicates that they are an established couple who value their space but can maintain this connection with each other.

7. Face to face

Sleep with your face and body facing each other in a position that indicates an emotional connection. If you and your partner touch while sleeping face to face, it means that you want the same things and that you both fully understand each other.

6. Sleep on your stomach

If you and your partner are fans of sleeping on your stomach, it could be a sign of a little trouble in your personal paradise.

5. Touch the hand

Sleeping apart from each other while still holding hands or staying in touch through any minimal touch that shows that you are both confident in the relationship.

4. A leg hug

Crossing your legs while you sleep is another great sign of your relationship. Even if you don't actually sleep together, this "leg hug" shows your attachment to your partner and your desire for a deeper emotional and physical connection.

3. Tangle

Tangle is a common sleeping position among couples just starting out on dating. This is the stage of any new relationship where you just can't get enough of each other. This is exactly what this position means.

2. One of the partners controls the bed

If you or your partner prefer a starfish position and take up a lot of space while sleeping, it is not a good sign. It basically indicates a selfish person who wants to be responsible at all times. Another important factor is whether their heads are on the same level.

1. Sleeping in separate beds

The reasons spouses sleep in different beds can range from snoring and comfort issues to really serious relationship problems.
