    One thing that could help us to recover(恢复) from tiredness is sleep. And sleeping is the favorite hobby of most people today. Studies show that the way people sleep at night decides the type of personality they have. Robert Phipps, a body language expert, has named four sleeping positions that influence personality.

    Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, are likely to sleep in the fetal position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up, the more comfort we are seeking.

    The second most common position is the log. People sleep with a straight body, with arms at each side. Nearly 28 percent of people sleep this way and they often feel harder to move their body when they wake up. "The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you are unwilling to change, which means you make things harder for yourself, " according to Phipps.

    Yearner sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style - on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are chasing their dreams or perhaps being chased themselves, "Yearners are always expecting the best results." explained Phipps. "These people often wake up refreshed(精力充沛的) and they are willing to face the challenges of the day ahead. "

    Perhaps the strangest sleeping style is the free faller position. This sleeping position makes up 17percent of the population. They sleep face down on the stomach. "These people," according to Phipps, "feel like they have little control over their life. "Not only is this the strangest sleeping style, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.

    In conclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add, "A good sleep sets us up for the following day and our sleeping positions can decide how we feel when we wake up."
