• Dr. Idzikowski’s study shows that one out of ten people sleep completely covered during the night.

• Although his study neglects to give a personality type for these people, another study does.

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.
