I don't know if I'd put too much stock in that part of the article/study - yet. It actually said,

if you curl up in the fetal position when you sleep, you may be tough on the outside and soft on the inside.

The article/study is full of these "
may be"s & "
can be"s, and I saw
no mention of people who
change position many times during the night - the ones who are all over the bed! Some folks read something like this and may try to make judgments about themselves or others or are concerned if/when they do/don't "fit" these alleged "types", and I just don't see much validity or value in that.
I think the
major thrust of the whole thing was that
sufficient quality sleep is important to people's health (which kind of seemed like a "No Duh!" to me)
regardless of position.
I recall no specific mention of any health issues of the study's subjects, but it should go without saying that when there are overriding health issues involved, all bets are off.
