睡眠的秘密：睡姿揭示不同性格 你是哪一型？

Nap-time: 'Yearners' sleep with their arms outstreched, left, while 'freefallers' sleep on their stomachs with their arms at right-angles, right.
小憩时间：“渴望型”的人会伸长胳膊，如左图；而“自由落体型”的人会趴着睡，胳膊成直角弯曲。

The 25 per cent of us that are a yearner – arms stretched out in front – are either chasing a dream or being chased.
有25%的人是渴望型睡姿，手臂向前伸出去，这样的睡姿要么是在追求梦想，要么是在被人追赶。

Yearners are their own worst critics says Mr Phipps, always expecting great results. They wake up eager to face the challenges of the day.
菲普斯说渴望型的人会最爱批评自己，他们总是期待很好的结果。他们醒来时带着对新一天挑战的渴望。

Freefallers – face down, arms outstretched – make up 17 per cent and feel they have little control over their life. Physically this is the least comfortable position.
拥有脸朝下、手臂张开的自由落体型睡姿的人占了17%，这一类人对于自己的人生少有控制。从生理角度而言，这是最不舒服的睡姿。

Mr Phipps’s survey asked people to record their most common sleeping positions, with some naming more than one. He said: ‘A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.’
菲普斯通过调查了解并记录人们最常见的睡姿，有的人常用的睡姿不止一个。他说：“一个良好的夜间睡眠决定了你的第二天，我们的睡姿决定了我们醒来时会是什么感觉。”
