Researchers have determined that the way you sleep, says a lot about your personality. Via

According to a study by Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, there are six most-common sleep positions, and each one can give a real glimpse into what kind of person you are. "We are all aware of our body language when we are awake, but this is the first time we have been able to see what our subconscious posture says about us," he told the BBC News. "What's interesting is that the profile behind the posture is often very different from what we'd expect."
The Starfish
If you like on your back with both arms up on your pillow (5 percent), you are always ready to listen and often offer help where needed. Starfish sleepers generally make good friends -- but tend to dislike being the center of attention. Not-so-fun fact: Typically leads to snoring and restless sleep.
The Freefall
Brace yourself: People who sleep on their stomachs with hands up around their head (7 percent) can come off as brash and unreserved, but are really a little nervy and thin-skinned underneath. Freefallers don't like criticism or extreme situations. Fun fact: Sleeping like this is good for digestion.
I always fall asleep in starfish, but usually wake up in freefall—so what the heck does that say about me! Be sure to check out the rest of the report:
