The researchers of Shue Yan University conducted a small study in which 670 students were asked to fill a questionnaire regarding the pattern of dreams they had and sleeping positions.

According to lead researcher Kai-Ching Yu, people who sleep on their tummy tend to get short of breath at night because of which they get dreams of sex. Besides, he also noted that people sleeping on their belly tend to dream a lot as compared those who don’t.

The findings of the study have been published in the journal Dreaming. During the study, the participants informed that they had erotic dreams in which they experienced sexual pleasure and also felt like tied up somewhere.
