Sleeping Position Reveals Personality Traits
Whether it’s curled up in the fetal position , flat on the stomach or stretched out across the bed, the way people sleep reveals their personality, a British sleep expert said. The expert has identified six common sleeping positions and what they mean. “We are all aware of our body language when we are awake but this is the first time we have been able to see what our subconscious says about us, ”he said. Crouched in the fetal position is the most popular sleep pattern and favored by 51 percent of women, according to the results of the study he conducted for a large hotel group. Fetal sleepers tend to be shy and sensitive while people who assume the soldier position, flat on their back with arms at their sides, are quiet and reserved. Sleeping on one’s side with legs outstretched and arms down in what he refers to as the log, indicates a social, easygoing personality. But if the arms are outstretched in the yearning position, the person tends to be more suspicious. The free fall, flat on the tummy with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6. 5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually brash and gregarious. Unassuming, good listeners usually adopt the starfish position — on the back with outstretched arms and legs.The expert, who identified the positions by comparing personality traits of people.

睡姿揭示人的性格
一 位英國(guó)睡眠專(zhuān)家曾說(shuō)過(guò): 無(wú)論你是像胎兒一樣蜷縮著睡覺(jué), 或是趴在床上睡, 還是四肢伸開(kāi)平躺著睡, 睡覺(jué)的姿勢(shì)揭示了你的性格。該專(zhuān)家歸納了六種常見(jiàn)睡覺(jué)姿勢(shì), 以及這些姿勢(shì)的含義。“ 醒著的時(shí)候, 我們都知道自己的肢體語(yǔ)言, 但這是我們第一次知道自己的潛意識(shí)在說(shuō)些什么, ”他說(shuō)。他對(duì)一家大型酒店集團(tuán)所做的研究結(jié)果表明: 像胎兒一樣蜷縮著睡覺(jué)是最流行的睡覺(jué)姿勢(shì), 有51% 的婦女喜歡這種姿勢(shì)。采用胎兒式睡姿的人往往比較害羞, 也很敏感; 而采用仰臥、雙臂放在身體兩側(cè)的士兵式睡姿的人則比較安靜, 也不愿說(shuō)話(huà)。側(cè)臥、兩腿伸直、雙臂自然下垂的睡姿稱(chēng)為原木式睡姿。采用這種睡姿的人喜歡社交活動(dòng), 容易相處。但是如果雙臂伸出, 呈渴望狀, 這種人往往比較多疑。自由式, 即俯臥, 雙手放在頭的'兩側(cè), 這是最特別的睡姿。只有6 . 5% 的人喜歡這樣睡, 他們通常性情急躁, 愛(ài)社交。謙虛忠實(shí)的聽(tīng)眾通常選擇仰臥且四肢伸展的海星式睡姿。該專(zhuān)家通過(guò)比較人物性格特征、他們喜歡的睡姿和最常見(jiàn)的睡姿歸納出以上這些睡姿。他說(shuō)人們一旦采用了某種睡姿就很難再改變。

閱讀講解：
1. 意識(shí)理論。他把人類(lèi)的心理結(jié)構(gòu)分為三層, 即意識(shí)( conscious) 、前意識(shí)( preconscious)
和無(wú)意識(shí)( 即潛意識(shí)) 。他認(rèn)為意識(shí)處于大腦表層, 是一個(gè)人所直接感知到的內(nèi)容; 前意
識(shí)主要是在意識(shí)與無(wú)意識(shí)之間起警戒作用, 阻止無(wú)意識(shí)的本能欲望進(jìn)入意識(shí)之中; 無(wú)意
識(shí)處于大腦底層, 毫無(wú)理性, 是決定人的行為和愿望的內(nèi)在動(dòng)力。
2. 這里的once 不是“ 一次”或“ 曾經(jīng)”的意思, 不是副詞, 而是連詞, 意為“ 一旦, 一……
就……”, 如: Once printed, this dictionary will be very popular! ( 一旦出版, 這本詞典將會(huì)
非常暢銷(xiāo)! )
