Experts have unveiled what your sunbathing position reveals about you. Sleep guru, Hannah Shore, has analysed six popular positions adopted by holidaymakers on the sunbed as they unwind and top up their tan. The most prevalent - which 43% of travellers tend to use - is simply lying flat on their back with their legs straight down and arms by their sides.
According to Hannah, those who adopt this position are likely to be the ultimate sun seekers, who embrace life to the fullest and enjoy letting the world know they are living their best life. Those who prefer to be half in the shade and half in the sun - which is 20% of all those polled - typically live a more balanced lifestyle and often enjoy the best of both worlds. The research was commissioned by On the Beach and Silentnight, which have teamed up to create a sunbed mattress topper to bring comfort back to holidays, as the data also revealed 47% struggle to relax on a sun lounger - because they find them uncomfortable.
Silentnight's Hannah Shore said: "The way you lounge on a sunbed can reveal a lot about your personality and sleep habits." "This summer, as you're soaking up the sun by the pool, take a moment to people-watch and notice how different folks are lying on their sunbeds - it'll tell you a lot about their comfort preferences." "Finding a position that's comfortable to you is crucial, especially if you want to catch some restful poolside naps.
Comfort impacts our total sleep experience and without it, our sleep .
