Rosenblatt, author of Social Institutions of Partner Bedding, argues that the casual cuddle spoon cuddle is a typical sleeping position that couples who turn out to like spoon cuddling end up in.

In this position, two people are like big spoons; I protect you and you can lean on me. The tighter the hug, doesn't mean the better the relationship between the sexes between you, it's healthier to relax and just cuddle instead.

NO.3

Chasing hugs

Chasing hugs are when one of you is chasing the other. One person sleeps on the other side of the bed and the other chases that person over.

Samuel Dunkel, author of Sleep Poses: The Language of the Body at Night, says the pose sends two messages: one, that the one being chased wants to be chased, or is playing a trick on the other; and

two, the "reluctant hug." --The one who is always being chased, who wants some space.

No. 4

The lingering cuddle

This position tends to occur when there's a strong emotional charge,

such as post-sex,

or at the start of a romantic relationship, and there are some couples who stay in this sleeping position for the entirety of their relationship.

But that's not always a good thing. According to one psychotherapist,

Elizabeth Flynn Campbell, "Couples may be so caught up in their love that they're too dependent on each other to sleep apart. "o

Twisting Cuddles

Again Let go

This position starts with a "lingering hug" but the "lingering hug" will break up after about 10 minutes.

Believe it or not, this is a much better sign of a strong relationship than the tangled hug.

However, only 8 percent of couples use this two-part sleeping position, which Dr. Sweet says "is a compromise between intimacy and independence, and is the best of both worlds.

NO.6

Free sleeping

If you and your partner, are in this sleeping position... Please don't worry, it's actually a good thing.

This position indicates a relationship that is both intimate and independent. It's also the most popular sleeping position, with 27 percent of couples choosing it.

NO.7

Back-to-Back Kyung Pyo

If you're in a back-to-back position, but your PPs or backs are touching, that's a great thing~

Dr. Sweet says this means that both partners are very relaxed and comfortable together, but this position is more common among new partners, or couples who have been together less than a year. People who have been together for a long time don't usually use this position.

No. 8

Crush Chest Hug

Dr. Sweet says this pose is usually seen when a relationship is new.

It's a great position for bonding and creates a feeling of protection.

Shirley Glass, a psychologist and martial arts therapist, agrees: the position requires a high level of trust because the snuggling position heats up the relationship and reinforces that feeling of protection.

NO.9

Crossing Legs

Wood argues that if your partner

has his legs over

yours in bed, it's a sign that he's craving

an emotional or loving touch. It also means that even when you are sleeping, you can't get enough of each other...

Wood says: It means your lives are intertwined and you're very much in tune. You know what the other person is going to say next and look out for each other.

NO.10

Hogging the bed

If one of you is flailing around in bed and hogging the whole bed, it's a sign that he's being selfish. If he's always squeezing each other and the other one is practically hanging over the edge of the bed~ it makes him look even more selfish!

If this always happens in your intimate relationship, then you need to have a sincere talk.
