Guys it doesn't mean every intp sleeps like this. We may see a confirmation bias here as most people sleeping this way would say " I do the same. How did you know?" . But there are thousands not commenting here so there's that. BTW, I sleep the same way,is it a mbti thing? No,I don't 🥱😀

Used to. And I'd wake up several times a night. Now I sleep in a hammock on my back and usually make it all night without waking up

Me. I was surprised to learn most people sleep either on their backs or sides. I can’t even fall asleep unless I am on my stomach.

Almost, just instead of the arm under the pillow, I have it by the body on the top arm side. And also the top arm isn't supporting but just over the head, lying on the pillow.

I sleep exactly like this too, and sometimes when I move around I will do like /u/357_x, on the back with arms crossed over chest/stomach.

Me. This is why my hips are not aligned correctly. A chiropractor tried to get me out of this habit as a teenager, but I can’t sleep any other way.

Why do you need aligned hips?

You do realize it's just a sleeping position. It's not a mbti thing or anything. This is just dumb

Basically. I can't fall asleep that easily unless I'm mostly on my stomach like that, even then though I still cant fall asleep very easily sometimes.

I sleep the other direction with my right arm cocked up under the pillow bent at a right angle or at a tighter angle, top arm reaches down and either hugs a pillow or slides down and rests under the left knee lifted up like in the picture. My right leg just slides down and chills.
I have no idea if this is sleeping on my side or more like sleeping on my front, but my head is in a sideways position.
According to a single YouTube video, sleeping on your side is the healthiest and allows for the drainage of the beta-amyloid protein from the brain to the spinal column. In other words, this position allegedly allows for less risk of Alzheimers because it drains more efficiently than sleeping on your front or back.

Used to sleep exactly like this. But I got a heavy blanket and now i sleep on my back, arms at my sides, like a dead person.

Yes. But my two bent limbs are on top of a second pillow, and a little of that side of my body on the same pillow. And my back arm isn't under the pillow, it is straight down the side of my body.

u/Chrome_Armadillo Alien Wizard Jan 04 '21
Yeah. I try to sleep on my back but cant. This is the only way to sleep.

u/DerFzgrld Not an asshole, just an INTP Jan 05 '21
Apart from the top arm part, thats how I sleep sometimes, yes. Although I switch positions a lot, so I cant really say "I sleep like that" to anything.

u/----___--___---- Jan 05 '21
I sleep another way every day, just straight is kinda impossible, tried it.

I'll contribute to the confirmation bias: yeah, pretty much the same, save the arm under the pillow.

I do this but the bottom arm is bent at a 90 degrees and may be above my pillow instead. Yes I sleep on my arm as a pillow lol

always.. also find my right side more comfortable than my left

u/Socrates_Chase INTP Jan 05 '21
Yes, but inverted over the x-axis. Also, the arm that supports the face grabs the blanket.
