Changing sleep positions during sleep is absolutely normal. We change positions about 15 to 30 times every night <\/strong>: in a sleep lab study by De Koninck and colleagues<\/a> (1992), this occurred an average of 3 to 4 times per hour in young adults. But is turning a lot in your sleep normal? As you get older, you move less: for those over 65, it was about 2 times per hour. Under normal circumstances, you notice little or nothing yourself. So you don’t have much impact on it because you are sleeping. <\/p>\n\n

And that’s the difference with tossing and turning, because most of the time you don’t sleep or sleep only very lightly. Wobbling in bed not only disrupts your bed partner’s sleep, it also affects you. Often tossing and brooding go hand in hand.<\/strong> Stress from your work or problems in your personal life are running through your head so you literally can’t find your bearings. <\/p>\n\n
