Updated: Friday, November 2 2012, 07:46 AM CDT

Are you someone who looks to your horoscope for insight? Well now, thanks to a new study, there may be no need to look any further than how you sleep.

In fact, researchers in the UK, have now coined the term sleep-o-scopes, studies which look at how you sleep. The experts looked at four sleeping positions.

The fetal position: one of the most common, where you sleep with your knees up and head down. It's surprisingly most favored by worriers as a de-stressing tool. After this sleep people are typically prepared to take on the challenges of the next day.

The second most common position: the log. The sleeper fully extends their head, neck, arms, legs and body in a straight line. This position says you are stubborn, set in their ways.  The day ahead is most likely to be more fun, exciting and challenging. 

Experts found the yearner position: means you want more in your life and want the best results, however, you sometimes give up easily. This sleeper stretches their arms out feeling as though they are being chased.  After this sleep you can expect a fresh start to your day ready to commit.

Lastly, the freefaller is where you lie flat on your stomach with arms out. These sleepers feel like life is happening around them and they don't have control of your life. The next day you will feel more motivated.

Researchers say there is no surprise the body language shows just how stressed we are as a nation.
