Prefer the left side? You\u2019re probably more positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jordan Howlett <\/a>recently blew people\u2019s minds with a TikTok video where he explained why you could learn a lot about a person based on the side of the bed they prefer. Jordan is a popular<\/a> TikTok creator with nearly 11 million followers who shares candid monologues, reactions, stories, life hacks and intriguing fast food secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His video was a response to TikTok users Angelina & Skyler<\/a>, who confessed they don\u2019t usually pick a side of the bed.<\/a> (FYI: Your side is determined<\/a> from the perspective of laying in bed. For example, sleeping on the left side means that your partner would sleep to your right.) Howlett responded to their video by explaining why the side you choose is so important. <\/a>\u201cPsychologically speaking, humans will pick a side of the bed due to attitude towards work, personality and income,\u201d he says.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople who sleep on the left side of the bed psychologically have a more positive outlook on life, they can deal with heavy workloads, they\u2019re not easily phased by stressful days and they\u2019re calmer in a crisis than [their] counterpart,\u201d he continues. \u201cAnd they\u2019re more confident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople who sleep on the right side of the bed earn more money, have a less positive outlook on life, but are more prepared for worst-case scenarios than their counterparts,\u201d Jordan said. Jordan ends his video with a final fact: \u201cAlso, people who are claustrophobic naturally choose to sleep near the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although Howlett didn\u2019t cite any specific data, his points are perfectly aligned with current research on the topic. It appears he may have taken his facts from sleep expert Hope Bastine. Recently, Bastine told Cosmopolitan<\/a> that folks who sleep on the left side are more optimistic than their grumpier, right-side counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
