The four sleeping positions include being like a mummy with both arms crossed tightly across the chest, lying on one side almost on the stomach, hugging a pillow or bolster, and curled up in a fetal position.
If you experience one of the sleeping positions above, it means your nervous system is trapped in ‘survival’ mode.
Clinical psychologist Debra Kissen confirms that there is a connection between the body and the brain when experiencing stress.This can be seen from the way you sleep.
“That [stress] in turn may make you choose a ‘protective’ sleeping position, such as the fetal or mummy position, as a way to feel safe,” said Kissen, reporting

Sleeping position like a mummy
Do you often sleep on your back with your hands clasped across your chest?If yes, then it is a sign that you are alert due to all the stress that bothers you during the day.
The mummy’s sleeping pose, according to Kissen, imitates a state of readiness or alertness.
“Crossing your arms can signal hypervigilance,” says Kissen.

This sleeping position is roughly described as having the body almost prone.One of them pulled up, with his arms wrapped around a pillow.
This position provides natural comfort and is suitable for anyone who feels anxious.
Fetal sleeping position
Basically, this sleeping position does not always indicate a high level of stress.However, this sleeping position is considered the most capable of protecting the body from anything.
“This is a very classic ‘safe mode’ position when you’re stressed,” says Kissen.

The presence of a bolster or pillow to hug can symbolize a form of support and affection.
“Holding on to something [like a bolster] can be calming. It can be a way to create stability when you’re anxious,” says Kissen.
