CHANGE POSITIONS??
If you think that you can not be pinned down to
one of these positions, then you are probably
mistaken.
Dr. Idzikowski’s study showed that although people
tend to think they sleep differently, most people stay
in the same position all night and only 5% change
positions night to night.
