If you do tend to adopt the “free fall,” as the position is commonly called, it says something positive about you you’re likely a bold man with a risk-taking personality (although, to be fair, you may just be risking back pain). This position could also cause neck kinks, so men who tend to suffer from either should avoid it.

It may sound childlike, but according to a study from Chris Idzikowski, a U.K.
Plus, the way you hold your body between the sheets (no innuendo here) could be indicative of your personality. For men, your sleep position can affect a lot - from heartburn to back pain to snoring.
