Spooning
Lots of couples sleep while spooning. You know, one of you is the little spoon and the other person is the big spoon. This cuddle position is a crowd favorite. The big spoon is usually the person who’s the protector in the relationship, and the small spoon is the person who loves feeling safe and taken care of. But if you keep switching and both of you get to be the small and the big spoon – congratulations, you’re in a very balanced relationship where each person gets to both be protective and feel safe and cared for.
Starfish
If one of you is sleeping in a starfish pose, taking up most of the space and the other person just deals with it by contorting yourself around the other person, on the tiny amount of space left on the bed – that means one of you is ready to sacrifice a lot for the other, even their own comfort. It sounds very romantic but if you do that all the time, how are you going to get a good night’s sleep?
No Touching
Now, this is interesting. Depending on how often this happens and what the temperature in the room is like this could mean one of many things. Perhaps you live in a hot climate and don’t want anyone touching you while you sleep. Or maybe both of you just feel like touching during sleep isn’t something you enjoy and you feel comfortable without needing to cling to the other person. Or maybe your relationship is falling apart to the point where you don’t even want to touch each other in your sleep. But if that’s the case you don’t need an article about cuddling on the internet to tell you that, you probably already know.
