Everyone has got two personalities—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 behaviour, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. 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 influenced2 by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset3 people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive4 person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn5, but you aren't very ambitious6. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up7, you are probable a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive8. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own9. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys10 people.
每个人都有双重性格——一种是展示于外的性格，另一种是隐藏于内的真实性格。醒着的时候，你不会表现出你隐藏的个性，因为你能支配你的行为，但在熟睡时，你的睡姿会显示你真实的一面。当然，平常人们在夜里会经常改变睡姿。最重要的姿势是你入睡时的姿势。
如果你仰卧而睡，那么你是一个心胸开阔的人。一般你相信他人，易受流行时尚和新观念的影响。你不喜欢使别人感到不安，所以你从不说出你真实的感受。你很腼腆且不太自信。
如果你俯卧而眠，则你喜爱遮遮掩掩。你心事重重，且容易沮丧。你很固执却没有什么抱负。通常你是为了今天而不是明天而生活。这意味着你喜欢享受生活。如果你蜷缩而眠，你很可能是个容易紧张的人。你的自我感觉不好，因此自我保护意识强。你很害羞，通常不喜欢与人交往，倾向于独立，容易受到伤害。
如果你侧卧而睡，则你性格平和。你知道自己的优点和缺点。一般而言，你十分谨慎且十分自信。有时你会感到焦虑，但不会情绪低落。即使你的观点使人不悦，你也会将它表达出来。
