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. Abraçar durante o sono

É possível que tenha acordado a meio da noite e tenha visto que você e o seu parceiro se estão a abraçar, com as pernas entrelaçadas e ambos muito próximos. Esta é a posição de dormir mais íntima e ocorre quando os dois têm fortes sentimentos um pelo outro. Esta posição de dormir é comum em casais novos, embora muitos casais consigam mantê-la durante um período de tempo mais longo. Mas isso deve ser um sinal de alerta, porque significa que vocês os dois são demasiado codependentes.

2. Colher

The most common of all the sleeping positions is spooning. There are two ways of spooning. The first one is when he’s abraçando-o pelas costas, 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 do outro lado da cama

Esta posição é um pouco preocupante porque vocês os dois estão a afastar-se e precisam de espaço na relação. Esta posição ocorre depois de discussões e também mostra que têm um problema na vossa relação que precisa de ser resolvido mais cedo ou mais tarde.

5. Uma pessoa domina a 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 a relação é tóxica. Ele só tira e nunca dá de volta.

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 de costas um para o outro, tocando-se

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 os parceiros dormem de barriga para baixo

É muito provável que se esteja a abraçar enquanto se dorme desta forma. Esta posição mostra que ambos os lados estão sentir-se vulnerável e querem apoiar-se mutuamente, mas têm medo de se magoar.

9. Dormir com as pernas emaranhadas

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.
