Poor-quality sleep is associated with reduced daytime performance in your professional life
A new survey is trying to determine if your preferred sleeping position puts more money into your bank account. In other words, they're looking at how it affects higher and lower earners.
The survey of more than 5,000 British professionals found 29 percent of those bringing in more than £54,900 (around $71,000) a year prefer to sleep with their arms and legs spread out on either side of them.
It's a position known as "the freefall."
When it comes to those with lower incomes, 29 percent of people earning less than that figure prefer the foetal position (spelled like "fetal" in the U.S. and other parts of the world). The next is followed by the "pillow hugger."
Christabel Majendie, who is a sleep expert at Naturalmat, shared her thoughts and expertise after the survey by Onbuy.com.
"Poor-quality sleep is associated with reduced daytime performance, and this includes your professional life," she said. "It is important to be comfortable when you sleep so consider your mattress and bedding. Sleep in a position that is comfortable for you — this varies from person to person."
Here, a closer look at the top sleeping positions "loved by higher earners."
1. The Freefall (favored by 29%)
2. The Soldier (favored by 23%)
3. The Fetal Position (favored by 21%)
4. The Pillow Hugger (favored by 13%)
5. The Thinker (favored by 9%)
6. The Starfish (favored by 2%)
7. The Stargazer (favored by 2%)
8. The Log (favored by 1%)
In the end, no matter how you sleep, a good night's rest is key and your financial success relies on a clear and focused mind.
