In our winter issue, we tell you all about three popular sleep positions — soldier, starfish, and yearner — and what they reveal about your personalities. Well, as promised, here are three more common positions and the personality traits associated with them. Just keep in mind that these are generalizations, and they apply differently to everyone.

If you are a fetal sleeper, you are probably a little bit shy when you first meet someone.
