Professor Chris Idzikowski has described six different positions and what each one says about a persons character. The professor, who did the research for a hotel group, said, “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 position says about us when we are asleep.” At the moment, Professor Idzikowski is trying to sleep in a yoga position that involves crossing your legs around your neck. He says there is no perfect position for sleeping. 1．THE STARFISH “Starfish” sleep flat on their back with their arms raised. They are good listeners who make friends easily but do not like to be the centre of the attention. 2．THE YEARNER “Yearners” sleep on their side with their arms raised. They are doubtful and have a very sensible approach to life. 3．THE FOETUS The most popular position, particularly among women. They sleep curled (蜷缩) up on their side, holding on to the pillow. They appear to be tough but are actually sensitive and shy. 4．THE FREEFALLER Only 6.5% of people prefer to sleep on their front, making this the least popular sleeping position. “Freefallers” seem very confident, although this hides a nervous personality. 5．THE LOG The “log” position is similar to the “yearner” but with arms by the sides. “Logs” are easy-going and sociable, but can be seen as too gullible,_easily to be victims. 6．THE SOLDIER “Soldiers”， who sleep on their back with their arms by their sides, are quiet and reserved.
