每个人都有自己独特的睡觉方式。有人喜欢躺睡、有人喜欢侧卧，还有人喜欢趴着睡.....
而一个人的肢体语言，一定程度上能够展现出自己的性格和想法，就连睡觉时，也毫不例外。
"Most people spend six or more hours per day sleeping, so of course your sleeping position reveals a lot about you," Dr. David Greuner said.
“多数人每天会花6个小时或更多的时间睡觉，所以你的睡姿当然会透露出你的许多信息，”大卫•格鲁内尔博士说道。
对此，老外研究了拥有不同睡姿的人的性格是怎么样的？看看你的准不准？
1婴儿睡姿
"Those who favor the side-lying fetal position tend to be sensitive, but may project a tough exterior," reported Chris Idzikowski, PhD.
克里斯•伊兹科瓦斯基博士指出，“喜欢像婴儿一样侧躺着睡觉的人往往比较敏感，不过他们也可能会有强硬的外表。”
Likewise, Dr. Idzikowski added, fetal sleepers tend to be quite personable, even if they come off as shy upon first meeting people.
他还补充道，像婴儿一样蜷缩着睡觉的人往往也很平易近人，虽然在初见时，他们也会害羞。
英大身边就有很多这样的朋友，他们说，这样子睡，特别有安全感。冬天，还特别保暖。
2木头型睡姿
Sleeping like a "log" is the way Dr. Idzikowski describes lying on your side with your arms at your sides.
睡觉的时候侧躺着且把手臂安置在一侧，伊兹科瓦斯基博士把这样的睡姿称为“像根木头似的”躺着。
If this is your favorite sleeping position, then you're probably easy-going, social, and relatively trusting of strangers.
如果这是你最喜欢的睡姿，那么你可能是一个容易相处且好交际的人，而且你相对容易信任陌生人。
That said, you may also be a bit gullible .
但也就是说，你可能比较容易受骗。
这种睡姿，英大自己并不喜欢，因为常常会觉得一只手无处安放.....
3渴望型睡姿
Like the log position, the yearning-log indicates an open nature, according to Dr. Idzikowski, with an added benefit: You're probably not as gullible.
伊兹科瓦斯基博士称，就像木头式睡姿一样，渴望式睡姿说明你性情开放，而且你还有一项额外的优点：那就是你可能不容易受骗。
You're also probably slower to make up your mind, but once you do, you're less likely to change it.
在做决定上，你可能要慢一些，不过一旦你下定决心，就不太可能会改变主意。
这种睡姿和侧躺型睡姿有些类似，区别就在于前者的手臂是伸展着放在身前，就像是你在“渴望着”某物或某人一样。
4侧躺2.0进阶版
None of our experts offered an opinion as to what this position may mean about your personality; however, if you adopt it even for a night, it means you're open to learning from others.
对于这种睡姿可能会揭示的性格，没有专家给出观点，然而，如果你采用了这种睡姿，即使只有一晚，这也说明你愿意向别人学习。
有关专家还表示侧躺着入睡会让人在夜间感到舒适，再适当的调整一下睡姿，不仅能在夜间得到休息，白天也能感到舒适。
具体的3条建议如下：
①Knees only slightly bent
膝盖微曲
②Small pillow between the knees to keep the spine in a more favorable and stable alignment
膝盖之间夹一个小枕头使脊椎保持一个最佳且最稳定的排列
③Hug a pillow between your arms
手臂之间抱着一个枕头
（具体动作参见上方图片）
5俯趴型睡姿
According to Dr. Idzikowski, however, if your sleeping position of choice is face-down with your head turned to one side and your pillow grasped between your arms, you have a tendency to be gregarious, and even at times brash but you really don't like to be criticized.
伊兹科瓦斯基博士表示，如果你选择趴着睡，且头部转向一侧，枕头夹在手臂之间，你往往喜欢交际，甚至有时候会自以为是，但你真的不喜欢被指责。
And you do your best to avoid extreme situations.
不过你会尽力避免极端的情况。
6仰卧型睡姿
Those who find themselves sleeping this way are typically quiet, reserved, and hold both themselves and other people to high standards and strict moral codes.
睡这种姿势的人比较安静、保守，对自己和他人的都定有高标准以及有着严格道德准则。
But maybe that's because back-sleepers tend to be a young group, in general, with most of them being between the ages of 25 and 34, which is the best age for sleeping soundly through the night.
不过，这也许是因为仰卧着睡的人往往都是年轻人，且他们中的大多数人通常年龄都在25岁到34岁之间，而这是整晚都可以睡得香的最佳年龄段。
这种睡姿，又被称为士兵型（Soldier）睡姿。
英大自己一般晚上入睡都用这种姿势，比较容易入眠。睡着之后，就开始放飞自我了....
7自由型睡姿
Mattress designer, Flother, thinks that everyone's a bit of a freestyler.
床垫设计师弗拉泽认为，每个人都是自由式睡姿。
"We're all much more active at night than we think we are," she says. "We naturally move 50 to 80 times every single night."
“在夜间，我们都比自己所认为的要活跃得多，”她说道。“我们本来每天晚上都会挪动50到80次。”
所以说，下次再有人说，我睡相很好，睡觉基本上不动，可以直接忽略他了....
