Early birds and night owls alike are cooing over a diagram featuring 18 popular sleeping positions in a hilarious Twitter thread that has since gone viral.
On Sunday, Twitter user Allan Bell shared the must-see illustration featuring numbered drawings. It includes 15 doodles of a man and three images of a woman snuggled to a pillow, getting a good night’s rest as they stretch out in a variety of ways.
“I’m a No. 9, which are you?” Bell asked in a post that has since received more than 12,800 likes, as well as 1,300 shares and 5,000 comments.

Some commenters admitted that they couldn’t relate to the doodles at all, given their own predilections for sleeping with their phone, dog or in the buff.
