Your body language indicates more than you think when you're asleep. The position in which couples position themselves at night may indicate how they lean on each other for emotional support during their waking hours. It can also show how comfortable each of them is with intimacy.

It is true that some people just prefer not to cuddle at night, and if you need to be comfortable to sleep, this doesn't mean you don't love your partner.

But for people who like to cuddle when they are asleep, your cuddling position can say a lot about you.

Spooning

This cuddling position indicates that you and your partner see eye-to-eye. This position represents bonding two bodies into one, so this couple may see themselves as a tight-knit team.

Head On Chest

This sleeping position suggests that one person feels safe and secure when they are being held by their partner. They feel supported by their partner mentally and physically. They always turn to their partner when they are going through hard times because they know they will not lead them in the wrong direction.

Back-To-Back

If you sleep back-to-back, it suggests that you and your partner share a mutual sense of respect. You are both comfortable being away from the other person and aware of the other person's need for their own space, but you will always be willing to be there for each other. You don't want to sacrifice your comfort or theirs, you want each other to find their own comfort on their own.

Entwined Legs

You like to have your own space, but you also want to be connected with your partner in some way.

Face-to-Face

If you hug each other when you sleep, it means that you are really into each other and crave close intimacy. Couples who do this usually share everything with each other from their food to the private and intimate details about themselves that they don't share with other people.

Arm Draped Over the Back

This position shows your partner that you support them. The person whose arm is cradling the other person is showing them an understanding that their partner could be going through a time that requires some extra support.

Opposite Sides

If one partner decides to start sleeping on the opposite side of the bed, it could indicate that he or she is craving their own space and it could even mean there is trouble brewing. If you once slept very close to each other in an intimate way and all of a sudden one person doesn't want to be close to the other, it might signal a problem.

However, if this is how you have always slept, it simply means you’re confident in your relationship and don’t feel the need to share close spaces.

Holding Hands

Sleeping while holding hands suggests that you and your partner want to remain connected. It allows you both to feel secure that you are holding onto each other.

Distances From Headboard

Do you prefer for your head to be close to the headboard, but your partner sleeps halfway down the bed? This just shows your individual preferences, and if these preferences are not the same, it doesn't mean that partners don't want to be close to each other.

The most important thing is to be comfortable when you're asleep so you can sleep through the night and be your best self when you are awake. These tips may give some insight into your relationships, but remember that there are always exceptions and you should not feel bad if you prefer to sleep in your own space. Being comfortable at night will make you a better partner during the day.
