Stomper sent me a nice video about what sleeping positions say about us, and I’ve wanted to mention it on Gibberish. I wanted to have another personality quiz to go with it, and I found this quiz courtesy of Evany.com: the secret language of sleep.

I am the “toboggan:”

Find your own pose!

Toboggan Traits and Tendencies: Tobogganeers are always one step in front of their peers; they’re first to buy a house, first to microdermabrate, first to spend more than a thousand dollars on a rug. Yet in their rush to get ahead of the curve, Toboggan couples sometimes find themselves racing in two entirely different directions. If they don’t check in frequently to make sure they’re both on the same track, they can grow impressively far apart, and it can take a great deal of painful maneuvering and many late-night talks before they reconnect once again.

Comfort Zone:Toboggan is a Sun Sleeper pose. Other Sun poses a Tobogganeer might enjoy include Big C Little c, Classic Spoons, and The Heimlich.
A Note About Feeding Tobogganeers have two modes: fed and calm, and unfed and frantic. To prevent bickering and other erratic behaviors, always keep the pantry and glove box well stocked with a supply of crackers and spreadables.

Some of the questions are a little weird, but answer them the best you can. The “equipment” question was odd, so I just thought of it in a naughty way and answered accordingly.

I have to say, even though the couples part doesn’t really apply to me any more, that this assessment is right on. I actually did sleep in the Toboggan pose, as well as the Classic Spoons pose which is mentioned as another one of my “favorites.” I am ahead of the curve usually, and it often puts me off on another path from where I intended. The part about being well fed and content or unfed and frantic is totally right-on, both physically and emotionally.

So, what sleep position are you?
