Everyone has got two personalities（性格）-the one that is shown to the world
and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you
can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the
real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their
positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open
person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or
new ideas. You don’t like to displease people. So you never express your
real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t quite sure of yourself.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a
rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You always stick to
your own opinions or judgment, but you don’t raise your hopes too much. You usually live
for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up（蜷縮）, you are probably a very nervous
person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive.
You’re
shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your
own. You’re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually
got a well—balanced（平衡的）
personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful.
You believe in yourself. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get sad. You
always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry
