睡眠姿勢和性格特征之間有著微弱的聯(lián)系（tenuous connection），英國睡眠評定中心曾對“睡姿”專門展開過一項研究，結(jié)果表明：

睡姿是極少受意識控制的動作，它所傳達出的信息能在某種程度上反映人的心理和健康狀態(tài)。

今天我們就從睡眠姿勢了解自己吧！

The Fetal Position “胎兒式”睡姿

The fetal position gets its name from the shape of a baby in the womb.

“胎兒式”得名于嬰兒蜷縮在子宮中的樣子。

The fetal position is the most common position in the world. People who sleep in the fetal position tend towards worry and anxiety. They are often shy and sensitive.

“胎兒式”是世界上最常見的睡姿，像胎兒一樣睡覺的人容易擔(dān)心和焦慮。他們通常也很害羞而敏感。

In the fetal position, a sleeper's body is essentially curled up into a ball as they lie on one side with legs and arms bent. This position is commonly assumed by adult sleepers.

該睡姿類似胎兒在母親腹中的狀態(tài)，側(cè)趟著，腿和手臂彎曲，身體蜷縮成一個球。這個姿勢在成年人中極為常見。

The Starfish Position “海星式”睡姿

When sleeping like a starfish, you lie on your back with arms up near the pillow and legs outstretched.

仰臥，雙臂靠近枕頭，雙腿伸直，像“海星”一樣睡覺。

Sleep scientist Idzikowski says starfish sleepers value friendship, and that while they prefer not to be the center of attention, people who sleep in this position are good listeners and quick to help others.

睡眠學(xué)家艾德辛科夫斯基說：“‘海星式’睡姿的人很重視友誼，雖然他們不喜歡成為關(guān)注的焦點，但他們是很好的傾聽者，并且樂于助人?！?/p>

If you have a starfish sleeper as a best friend, you're in luck. Starfish sleepers are great listeners and a source of comfort to others.

如果你最好的朋友有“海星式”睡姿，那么你很幸運，他們是很好的傾聽者和安慰者。

The Soldier Position “士兵式”睡姿

In the soldier position, you lie as straight as a soldier stands. The legs are not bent, and your arms lie straight along the sides of your body.

“士兵式”睡姿的人在睡覺時躺得像軍人站軍姿一樣，雙腿不彎曲，手臂伸直放在身體兩側(cè)。

Soldier sleepers are quiet and reserved, but also hold high standards.

這類人安靜而內(nèi)斂，同時對自我要求很高。

Soldier sleepers do not like to make a big deal out of things. They are the strong silent type.

他們大多是沉默型人格，不喜歡小題大做。

Sleeping like a soldier can lead to a bad night's sleep. Try using a pillow to support the natural curve of your back.

像軍官一樣睡覺會導(dǎo)致晚上睡不好，你可以試著用枕頭支撐，保持背部的自然曲線。

The Log “木頭型”睡姿

For those who suffer from back pain, the log position could be helpful for you.

對于背部疼痛的人來說，“木頭型”睡姿可能會對你有幫助。

While assuming a log position, a sleeper has both their arms and legs extended, so their body is straight like a log.

“木頭型”睡姿的人在睡覺時，胳膊和腿都會伸直，所以他們的身體像圓木一樣直。

Log sleepers are very trusting, a little naive, but are usually social and easy-going individuals.

“木頭型”睡姿的人非常容易相信別人，有點天真，但通常喜歡社交、容易相處。

Idzikowski claims that preferring a log position suggests that a person is sociable and interacts with others easily. While these are attractive traits, he warns that this openness and willingness to trust could make them gullible.

睡眠學(xué)家艾德辛科夫斯基稱，“木頭型”睡姿的人善于交際，喜歡與他人互動。雖然這些特質(zhì)很吸引人，但這種開放性和容易相信別人的性格容易上當(dāng)受騙。

The Yearner Position “渴望者”睡姿

The yearner sleepers look like they're grasping for something.

“渴望者”睡姿的人看起來像是在抓什么東西。

Their legs and arms are both outstretched, like in the log position. The difference is that instead of being by their sides, their arms extend forward.

他們的腿和胳膊是伸展的，就像“木頭型”睡姿一樣。但不同的是，“渴望者”睡姿的人手臂不是在身體兩側(cè)，而是向前伸展。

People who prefer the yearner position tend to be open, though not as open as those who prefer the log position.

“渴望者”睡姿的人往往是外向型性格，但不如“木頭型”開放。

Yearners can also be cynical and suspicious. But, this is a good position to avoid snoring.

“渴望者”睡姿的人可能有些憤世嫉俗和多疑，但這也是一個避免打鼾的好姿勢。

The Freefaller “自由落體式”睡姿

In the freefall position, a stomach sleeper has their hands on or around their pillow, with their head turned to one side.

“自由落體式”睡姿的人會將手放在枕頭上或枕頭周圍，頭轉(zhuǎn)向一側(cè)。

Freefall sleepers are social and can border on being brash. Deep down, however, they are more sensitive and can become unsettled by criticism or extreme situations.

“自由落體式”睡姿的人喜歡社交，甚至有些自以為是。然而，他們的內(nèi)心深處其實更加敏感，會因為別人的批評或極端情況而變得不安。

They like to be in control of everything around their life. It's all part of their long periods of indecision, but once they make a choice, they stick to it.

他們喜歡掌控生活中的一切，但也會長期處于猶豫不決的狀態(tài)，而一旦做出了選擇，他們就會堅持下去。

This position can aid in digestion but their sleep is unsteady.

這種睡姿有助于消化，但不利于睡眠穩(wěn)定。

快來認領(lǐng)你的睡姿吧，祝你今晚好夢。
