According to a study, the position in which you sleep is an indicator of your professional and financial success.
- Participants with the best career paths and greater financial success were those who slept on their stomachs with their arms raised above their heads.
- This way of sleeping is called the free fall position.
- Another observation: the highest paid people wake up at 6:42 a.m. in the morning, compared to 7:06 a.m. for others.
On your back, curled up on your side or even on your stomach… We all have a favorite position for sleeping. According to an investigation relayed by StudyFindsthe way we sleep would be an indicator of professional and financial success.
Sleeping on your stomach with your arms raised above you
During their work, researchers discovered a link between sleep habits and career advancement and financial success. To do this, they collected information from 5,438 active people.
According to scientists, participants with the best career paths and greater financial success are those who sleep on their stomachs with their arms raised above their heads. This is the so-called “free fall” position, as if they were jumping out of a plane. And this is no coincidence, according to Inbaal Honigman, psychic and body language expert.
“People who earn a lot of money are natural risk takers, she indicates. They jump first and ask questions later”. According to researchers, almost a third of those who sleep in free fall will be among the 10% highest paid by the end of 2024.
Higher-paid people have shorter nights
Among respondents, 29% sleep in the fetal position and 24% in the so-called pillow position, compared to only 14% in free fall. “The most common sleeping positions are quite protective: the fetal position, where people curl up for protection, and the pillow cuddle position, where sleepers curl around their (or partner’s) pillow to more comfort and safety”, underlines Inbaal Honigman.
Beyond position, the study also reveals the sleep duration of the most financially successful people. They sleep on average 6 hours and 58 minutes, or 22 minutes more than the lowest paid people. Another observation: the best paid wake up at 6:42 a.m. in the morning, compared to 7:06 a.m. for others… A data which confirms the popular adage: the future belongs to those who get up early!
