Your secret personality

  

      Everyone has got two personalities – the one that they show to the world and their secret, real personality. 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 position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

     If you go to sleep on your back, you’re very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.

     People who sleep on their stomach are rather secretive people. If you lie like this, your worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

     If you sleep curled up 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.

     People who sleep on their side have usually got a well-balanced personality. If you sleep like this, you know your strengths and weaknesses. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed.
