Body language is one of the main sources of information one can get main messages from. The way we smile, cry, dress, eat, use gestures carry the information some people are able to read out. Different movement give different connotations
Brisk, erect walk emphasizes confidence
Arms crossed – defensiveness
Walking with hands in pockets- dejection
Touching, rubbing nose-rejection, doubt, lying
Hand to cheek-evaluation, thinking
Open palm-innocence, sincerity
These are few examples of body language but there are some hints to one’s personality that might be noticeable while sleeping.
Dr Chris Idzikowski who has been involved in sleep research and medicine for more than 20 years, recently studied sleep positions and suggested a correlation between six common sleeping positions and the personality traits of the sleepers.
The positions are:
Fetal Position (41%) Curled up on your side, holding the pillow. The most popular sleeping position, this one was favored by 51% of the women in the study. The personality of these sleepers tends to be shy and sensitive, though they may present a tough exterior to the world.
Soldier Position (8%) Flat on your back with arms at your sides. Indicates a quiet and reserved personality who sets high standards.
Starfish Position (5%) Lying on your back with arms and legs outstretched. Indicates a good listener who makes friends easily, but prefers not to be the center of attention.
Freefall Position (7%) Flat on your stomach with arms at the head or ears. Indicates a brash and gregarious exterior who may inwardly be nervous and sensitive to criticism.
Log Position (15%) On your side with legs outstretched and arms at your sides. Indicates a social, easygoing personality.
Yearner Position (13%) Similar to the log, but with arms outstretched. Said to indicate a suspicious and cynical personality.
The sleeping positions show not only personality and characteristics of individuals but at the same time it is worth mentioning that positions have different health effects. According to Dr Chris Idzikowski the freefall position seems good for digestion, while the starfish and soldier positions were more likely to lead to snoring and a bad night's sleep. The research shows that sleeping positions vary and 5% sleep in different positions every night.
People spend third of their lives sleeping. But not everybody wasted third of their lives in waste of time as Thomas Edison claimed. Napoleon, Florence Nightingale and Margaret Thatcher sleep four hours a night.
Well, if we take into consideration the fame, success and role of these people in the world history then hardly one can make him/herself sleep third of life.

ReplyDeleteThe remaining 11 percent of the study either said they slept in a variety of positions or just didn't know how they slept.
Sorry for not mentioning this fact in the post.
