Inside the bedroom, away from the eyes of the public, a couple can be themselves. At the beginning of any relationshipwhen they cannot get enough of each other, they cling to one another even during sleep. And as time passes, how they sleep can speak a lot about how they feel about one another.

When one of the partners edges away and the other resorts to spooning in order to connect, it looks like the relationship is beginning to feel like a game.

When couples turn away from each other, and sleep all through the night without any part of their body touching that of the other, it can mean that they feel safe and comfortable in the relationship. But if there is anger or resentment in their hearts, they have no way of communicating it too. So, this is a suspenseful sleeping position.
7. Shingles

In this position, one partner lies on the back while the other sleeps on the loved one’s shoulder. This indicates that one feels proprietorial over the other. It can also shine a red light on the partner showing that he tends to be egoistic although he wants to protect her.
8. Passionate Cuddle

When couples are passionately in love, they hold on to each other, even as they move around the bed in sleep. This could be the most romantic of all sleeping positions.
9. Mirror

This is a position which indicates a closeness that comes from years of partnership and built up trust. The partners face each other but do not feel the need to touch or cuddle. They are however connected to each other through invisible bonds.
10. The Leg Weave

In this position, the partners show how their lives have mingled, that there are no boundaries between them even when they are asleep. Their legs are tangled and they don’t mind that at all. It is a position of total comfort.
11. Sweetheart Hug

This is a position where one partner dominates the other but also loves her deeply. One partner holds the other’s head close to his face in a possessive gesture. It also indicates that s/he is protective and caring.
It is possible that couples are clueless about where their relationship is going. It is also possible that they may want to maintain a façade of closeness when they are not sure of themselves. But inside four walls, when they are fast asleep, their body language can say a lot about their true feelings about each other.
