Did you know that the way you sleep with your partner says a lot about your relationship? The amount of intimacy you show while sleeping in the same bed can say a lot about how close you are, or that you simply don’t feel so much love anymore. Looking at your sleeping positions, someone can tell if you’ve been together for a while now or if you’re a new couple who just freshly started a relationship.

1. Abrazarse mientras se duerme

Puede que te hayas despertado en mitad de la noche y hayas visto que tu pareja y tú estáis abrazados, con las piernas entrelazadas y los dos muy juntos. Esta es la postura más íntima para dormir y se produce cuando los dos sienten algo muy fuerte el uno por el otro. Esta postura para dormir es habitual en las parejas primerizas, aunque muchas parejas pueden mantenerla durante más tiempo. Pero eso debería ser una señal de alarma, porque significa que vosotros dos sois demasiado codependientes.

2. Cuchara

The most common of all the sleeping positions is spooning. There are two ways of spooning. The first one is when he’s abrazándote por la espalda, which shows security, trust and that he deeply cares about your well-being. But what happens if he’s playing the ‘small spoon’? What if you’re the one hugging him? If this is the case, your partner wants to be chased and he wants to see you put in all the effort. Also, this is a way of showing that he’s gotten emotionally distant in your relationship.

3. Sleeping on your partner’s shoulder

This position tends to be quite popular in long-term relationships. One of you is lying on your back and the other is lying on your partner. This position represents power. It doesn’t just have to be that you’re sleeping on your man’s shoulder, but he could be sleeping on your chest in order to find comfort and safety. That’s why the protector has the power of the safety of the seeker.

4. Dormir en otros lados de la cama

Ésta es un poco preocupante porque os estáis distanciando y necesitáis espacio en la relación. Esta posición se produce después de discusiones y también muestra que tenéis un problema en vuestra relación que debe resolverse tarde o temprano.

5. Una persona domina la cama

If you wake up in the middle of the night, just to see that your partner is dominating the bed and that you’re hugging your knees in one corner of it, it’s bad news. Your partner is selfish and your la relación es tóxica. Sólo toma y nunca devuelve.

6. You face each other, but don’t touch

If you and your partner are facing each other while sleeping (without touching) it shows an emotionally dependent and emotionally demanding relationship. You both want more and you show it even when you’re sleeping.

7. Dormir espalda con espalda, tocándose

This sleeping position is common in a new relationship and it’s one of the most popular ones. It shows that you and your partner are completely comfortable with one another and that you don’t need to touch each other too much to show love. All you need to do is have a small part of your body touching to know that the other is there and it’s enough to make you both feel safe.

8. Ambos duermen boca abajo

Lo más probable es que te estés abrazando mientras duermes de esta manera. Esta posición muestra que ambos lados están sentirse vulnerable y quieren apoyarse mutuamente, pero temen salir heridos.

9. Dormir con las piernas enredadas

If you wake up and you feel the legs of your partner reaching for yours or if your legs are intertwined, it means that there is a need for a stronger emotional and sexual connection. It can also mean that you can’t get enough of one another and that you are in a very loving and caring relationship.
