When It Might Mean Something More
While it’s usually harmless, context matters. If the change in sleeping position is sudden and paired with other signs—like reduced communication or tension—it could reflect underlying issues.
In those cases, it’s best to:
- Communicate openly with your partner
- Avoid jumping to conclusions
- Focus on understanding rather than assuming
