1.‘Spooning’ with the male behind

According to Dr. Spurr, ‘spooning’ with the man behind, is a protective and sensual way to sleep. It signifies a protective stance by the male, because it makes a woman feel that her partner is willing to look after her. This position hints at a traditional relationship.

2. Spooning with the woman behind

Spooning, with the woman behind, hints at a very nurturing relationship and shows that the woman is the backbone of the relationship. She cuddles her partner and makes him feel loved and secure in this position. Dr. Spurr notes that, in this relationship the man wouldn’t be frightened of letting his partner be his emotional anchor.

3. Both partners sleep on their sides, with their backs turned to each other.

Both people facing the edge of the bed signals that you lack connection with each other and you may suffer from a lack of intimacy. It generally signifies two independent people, who run their own lives, however, this independence in the bedroom may lead to a lack of intimacy and loss of emotional connection in the long term.

4. He sleeps on his back while she’s on her side cuddled up into his arms.

This position provides full on contact and sleeping this way signals you simply can’t resist cuddling up and feeling that closeness. Dr. Spurr says that you’re probably still in the honeymoon phase of your relationship and should make sure you don’t lose some of that desire as time goes on.

7. Looped Legs

Whatever position you choose to sleep in, you link your leg with your partner’s. “This mere brushing of the legs says, ‘I love you’,” Allan says. “Couples who sleep with their legs looped are demonstrating their togetherness, but they are also showing their sense of independence and respect for each other’s individuality.”
