The "ball position" in bed, also known as the fetal position, involves curling up on your side with knees tucked to your chest, elbows bent and close to your body.
Understanding the Fetal Position (Ball Position)
The fetal position is a very common sleeping position, particularly favored by women. This position is characterized by:
- Side-lying: Sleeping on either the left or right side.
- Knees tucked to chest: The knees are drawn up towards the abdomen.
- Elbows bent: The arms are bent at the elbows.
- Curled posture: The overall body posture is curled and compact, resembling a fetal position.
This position offers a sense of security and comfort for many sleepers.
The provided reference explicitly states that "You're curled up on your side, knees tucked into your chest, elbows bent and close". This perfectly describes the ball/fetal position in bed.
