Starfish with a mission — you sprawl across the whole bed while keeping the pillow close.
You start on your back, but the night has other plans. By morning you've claimed territory, repositioned the pillow multiple times, and ended up in a configuration that would be difficult to recreate intentionally. Your sleep is sprawling, active, and oddly satisfying.
Active sleepers often move through physical tension during the night in ways more still sleepers can't. You wake up less stiff, more physically reset — your body actually did things while you were out, and those things were useful.
The pillow doesn't always stay in bounds, and the space you occupy by morning often isn't where you started. Anyone sharing the bed has either become an expert negotiator or accepted their reduced footprint. This dynamic is worth having a conversation about before it becomes an ongoing source of friction.
