- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+49I like to sleep with a girl on top of me.
- INMCM, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Holy Crap the descriptions are the stupid vague kind that can apply to anyone.
- chair, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Yeah it was like reading a horoscope.
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Probably means you suffer from multiple personality disorder.
- cjsan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Does the date impact how interesting and/or diggworthy an article is?
- topey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12I sleep on my stomach with my ass sticking in the air... does that make me wierd?
- chmod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Hmmm. Yet another study that is (seemingly) trying to convince us that correlation == causation. This has always been one of my biggest problems with psychology as a field--the research is interesting (sometimes), but typically the conclusions drawn are either over extended or just plain suck.
- Purposeless, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9More junk science. We don't need this sort of crap perpetuating superstitious mindsets.
- sPrince, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I also laughed out loud, but I have an explanation. His brashness with the word 'ass' was comical, and that is how most babies sleep, which if you have ever seen looks hilarious.
- Norseman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Exactly. I call ***** on this study. None of that was nearly descriptive enough to be useful, and I suspect if it were, it would be clearly inaccurate. At least it wasn't bogged down with warm-fuzzies to make the ***** easier to swallow.
- sPrince, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5isn't your sleep position determined by your size and age. Babies sleep with their butts in the air. Guys with beer bellies can't really sleep face down? I fail to see how he can dismiss these facts.
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6My own scientificallistic studies conclude the following about sleeping:
People who sleep stretched out are sublimating a Freudian desire to return to their mother's womb as a penis.
People who sleep curled up are sublimating a Freudian desire to return to their mother's womb as a fetus. - devoinregress, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4My girlfriend's roommate sleeps cross legged and folded in half with her arms out in front of her. What does that mean?
- weaszel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Yes, because we know that salespeople are incredibly reliable sources of unbiased information.
- FuManchu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4They neglected to mention "curled up, with tail covering nose."
No digg! - patrickweber, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5"holy crap i dont know why I laughed so hard when i read this"
Haha, I know same here. In fact, I'm still laughing as I type this. - wicked9, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5holy crap i dont know why I laughed so hard when i read this
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I wonder what that one guy from Vietnam is like...
- himthatwas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I tend to move around quite a bit and sometimes wake up with my arms folded in front of me like I'm in a coffin. Should I be concerned?
- sail191912, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5http://www.dribbleglass.com/sleep/sleep1.htm
: ) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They forgot one position - upside down. Why? Because I'm Batman and that's what bats do. Did I mention I'm Batman?
- drewcurtis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i sleep on my head
- Maverick83, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Great. More stuff like this and digg will be filled with the latest news on Britney's newest husband, why a movie about gay cowboys had it's oscar stolen, and articles written by political pundits.
Way to go. - leobaby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I fall asleep sideways facing the television or facing down into the pages of a book, what does that say about me.
- jamesey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4those descriptions in the article are as accurate as horoscopes. People sleep in a way they feel comfortble.
- craterburnsu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I role all night long, and never really get a good night's sleep.. Tell me what that means about me? Probably that I'm moody and drink alot of Monster. :-D All i need now is a white coat so i can be a scientist.
- mattyG, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5you: do you sleep on your stomach?
girl: no
you: can i?
(lets see how many -- diggs i get for that one ;) - Tyrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2To go along with what 'penguinboy' said, the article does state this: "The remainder of those in the poll said the position they fell asleep varied or did not know."
This is a common result in surveys. People don't know things. Plus rounding things come into play a little bit... - dimplemonkey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I've always slept on my right side so my heart was elevated and not weighed down by my body.
- twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is probably just about as accurate as a Chinese Zodiac reading off of a placemat.
"You were born under the sign of Chuck Norris. You solve all your problems by round-house kicking everyone you meet."
Truly scientific. - dkoolaid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4So what if your sleep position isn't listed?
- jonohull, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5I sleep in 3 of these positions. What does that mean?
- thomashallock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2 How did they come up with the personality profiles? Did they just give the position a name and then make up the profile based on what the name sounds like?
- Norseman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4You don't exist. Obviously.
- penguinboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Often times results from a survey are not valid and can't be used in the final analysis. This is why such a large sample of people are selected to participate, because there will always be people who don't do the survey correctly.
- phatcactus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Articles like this really make me have to sit back and think: lame or inaccurate? I went with inaccurate, because it's less subjective, but I really could have gone either way.
- twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes!
- dupswapdrop, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2sleep a rumor started by the rich.
- OregonTrail, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2lol I'm a free-faller, sweet!
- RonDutt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mmm yes, and how many times have you been laid in the past week?
- waiwai, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Hmm, no lisiting for hug pillows. I guess we unlisted people rate as abnormal. ^^
- fatsobob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Usually I sleep in the "Fetus" position and that kinda describes me I guess. But some nights I just dont even sleep.
- twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ahh! Sensitive...definitely wants to be his sister!
- ren0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2yeah, not enough variety and you are all right the descriptions are very vague.
i dont know how someone can remember the position they fall asleep in unless they don't move when they are sleeping. i usually roll and kick covers and *****, does that make me an oddball? no i'm pretty sure everyone does it to an extent.
i think a more accurate one would be to get a couple more positions and base it only on positions people wake up in. also come up with more accurate descriptions of people, but i guess that would take time and stuff.
by the way, the position i usually wake up in is on my back, hands behind head (and pillow)with legs up and crossed. like i was sitting in a chair with my legs crossed, but on my back. how odd is that? - lukas88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2same here but they are actually pretty close on the description for me
- Gepetto, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6I'm a freefaller, but...um, they're wrong about me.
- twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I call that: "Guy who can't get a date." OR "Guy who wishes he were his sister" Tough to decide..
- twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, but now you know how each one of you likes to sleep. You should all feel more fulfilled and happy.
- pussyWagon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I think I sleep in all of those positions here and there.
- hattrick35, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It's a load of crap, but kind of interesting at the same time. Im a freefaller!
