Research reveals: This is how rich people sleep!

Everyone eagerly awaits the moment after a stressful day: time to get into bed and relax. But did you know that the sleeping position you naturally gravitate towards can give clues about your financial success? A survey conducted in the UK, involving more than 5,000 people, has revealed that different sleeping positions may be linked to income levels.

A study conducted in the UK examined the relationship between sleeping positions and income levels. The results show that almost a third (29 percent) of high earners sleep in the “freefaller” position.
Body language expert Inbaal Honigman says this position may be linked to a tendency to take risks. Honigman says, “Those who sleep in the freefall position may be courageous people who are not afraid to take risks. This position reflects the understanding of ‘jump first, ask questions later,’” he said.
The most popular sleeping position among general participants was the fetal position with 29 percent. This position was followed by the pillow hug with 24 percent, the free fall with 14 percent, the thinker with 13 percent, and the soldier position with 10 percent. Honigman says the fetal position is a protective stance and reflects a person’s desire to feel safe.
According to the research, the sleep preferences of those with the highest financial income differ from general trends.
The most popular position in the high-income group was the free fall position (29 percent), followed by the soldier position (23 percent), the fetus position (21 percent), the pillow hug position (13 percent) and the thinker position (9 percent).
The study shows that sleep duration and wake-up times may also be linked to financial success.

Those in the highest-income group sleep an average of 6 hours and 58 minutes a night and wake up at 06:42 in the morning.
In contrast, those in the lowest income bracket sleep around 22 minutes more and wake up at 7:06am.

Although the freefall position is associated with financial success, sleep experts warn that it can be a health risk. Lisa Artis, co-CEO of The Sleep Charity, says it can cause neck pain: “It’s healthier to sleep on your back or side. Sleep expert Martin Seeley from MattressNextDay emphasizes that sleeping on the side is the healthiest position: “Sleeping on the side improves circulation and digestion, opens the airways, allows easier breathing and reduces snoring.”
Experts state that choosing the right pillow and mattress is critical regardless of sleeping position. Experts say, “Remember that your head weighs 4.5-5.5 kilos on average and your neck is one of the most sensitive parts of your spine. Using the wrong pillow can cause neck pain and even headaches.”
