Do you always find comfort on the same side of the bed? It turns out that your favored side may be linked to your personality traits. So, how do the characteristics of left-sided sleepers compare to right-sided sleepers? Of course, the following information should be swallowed with a grain of skepticism.

What does your preferred side of the bed tell about you?

As mentioned on a mattress brand's website, your preferred side of the bed has connections with your personality traits. By partaking in the following "psychotest", you might discover some surprising insights about your work approach and general life approach.

According to these mattress experts, individuals who sleep on the left side of the bed tend to be more joyful than their counterparts. They also exhibit greater calmness in crises, enabling them to handle such circumstances more effectively. Left-sided sleepers are also believed to have higher self-confidence. Due to their more optimistic outlook on life and superior stress management capabilities, they tend to be more content with their jobs.

So, how does this contrast with individuals choosing the right side of the bed? This segment of people is believed to be practical and always prepared for worst-case scenarios. Intriguingly, they are also considered to earn more money!

The side of the bed as a quarrel instigator

According to the same source, choosing which side of the bed to sleep on can often lead to heated debates. From the data collected by mattress manufacturer Simba, 10 percent of couples argue about their preferred sleeping spots. Is it a clash because both of you prefer the left side? Experts preach the power of routine, assuring that if you consent and transition to the right side, you'll soon adapt to and embrace the new spot.
