A study conducted at the University of Hertfordshire found that spooning is linked to relationship quality. If you both like to fall asleep in this position, according to research, your relationship is good. Why is that?
Also the study, which is between each other linked sleeping position and couples' happiness, they carried out back in 2014 and now they decided to check if the original claims still hold true.
She captured 1,000 people, who described their favorite sleeping position, personality and relationship quality. The lead author of the research, Professor Richard Wiseman, says: "The difference is mainly in touch, as 94 percent of couples who spent the night in contact are more satisfied with their relationship compared to 68 percent of those who do not touch at night."
The research also showed that couples who lie on their sides are more likely to be unhappy. 86 percent of those who slept less than 3 centimeters away from their partner, they described themselves as happier in their relationship than theirs 66 percent, who were sleeping more than 70 centimeters away from your partner.
And what sleeping positions are the most pleasant for partners? Almost half (42 percent) decided to sleep 'back to back', 31 percent decides to sleep in the same direction and alone 4 percent they spend the night facing each other.
Among other things, the study found an interesting connection between personality type and the side of the bed we prefer to sleep on - the more creative ones sleep on the left side.
