Let's start with a classic sleeping position for couples: the spoon. Who doesn't love cuddling up with their partner for a little spooning action from time to time? Some people even sleep the whole night through spooning one another! Though the percentage of people who sleep the whole night through in the spoon position is small (studies say around one fifth of couples), it's probably the most well known of all the couple sleeping positions.
One relationship expert has broken down what exactly the spoon position says about a couple. If you're the 'big spoon', that is, the one on the outside, you are communicating the message that you're protective of the partner you're spooning. Holding them tight in your arms makes you feel like you're keeping them safe from harm. It's kind of cute when you think about it!
