(CNN) - Your sleep position is probably something you don't think about much -- or even notice altogether.  But a new study reveals the way you sleep can reveal a lot about your personality.

The results of a study published in Men's Health show that there may be certain sleep patterns associated with certain personality traits.

For instance, if you are someone who sleeps on your stomach, the study shows you are more extroverted and tend to take criticism more personally.

If you sleep in the fetus position, you are someone who has a rough exterior but is more sensitive on the inside. 

If you sleep with your arms above your head -- what the study calls "the starfish" -- you are likely to be a good listener and good friend. You also don't prefer being in the spotlight.

Finally, if you sleep on your side with both arms pointing straight downward, you are very trusting. In fact, too trusting. You are likely to believe anyone and may be easy to fool.
