Couples: This sleeping position that shows you’re in a power struggle

Many habits that we do not even suspect in everyday life can say a lot about your relationship. The way you behave in bed while sleeping with your partner can reveal facts about your relationship. Leaning their backs to each other, whether the distance is significant or not, would evoke both proximity and independence according to psychologists. If you sleep in this position, like almost 30% of couples, it means you both feel safe. Although it is not very romantic, this position demonstrates a certain balance within the couple.

The position of the small and large spoon is surely the most famous sleeping position and the most romantic for a couple. And yet, according to the study of the psychologist Corrine Sweet, only 18% of couples adopt this way of sleeping together. This position demonstrates that one of the partners demonstrates thathe can protect the other. Other experts also see sensuality in the famous spoon position. But above all, this position denotes a certain trust granted to the partner who is in a position of dominance.

When the way you sleep betrays a power struggle

If you begin by sleeping intertwining and both end up on your own, it is a sign that your couple enjoys both a certain intimacy and independence. Only if in the middle of the night you wake up and realize that you are curled up in a corner of the bed while your partner is well spread out and takes up most of the bedthere is surely a power struggle between you two. The partner who occupies the bed takes the role of the dominant.
