When you sleep are you on your stomach? your left side?

當你睡覺時，是趴睡嗎？是向左邊側睡嗎？

Do you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

你是不是總是有起床氣呢？

All these things have been looked at by science

這些都是已經經過科學檢視的問題

If you sleep on your left side you're probably more creative;

如果你習慣向左邊側睡的話，你可能比較有創意

if you sleep on your right side of your bed, that's the bad side.

如果你習慣睡在床的右側，這是比較不好的一邊

and sleeping on your stomach makes your dreams more sexy.

而趴睡可能會讓你有個「性」致勃勃的夢

Science says our sleeping positions matter.

科學證實睡覺的姿勢是很有影響力的

In fact according to a study conducted back in April,

根據今年四月的一項研究調查，

the distance you sleep from your partner while in bed,

你和你的伴侶睡覺時的距離，

indicates how happy you are.

反映了你的心理狀態

According to a survey of 1000 people in Edinburgh in Scotland,

蘇格蘭愛丁堡一項針對 1000 人所做的調查發現，

most people, 42 percent by the way, sleep back to back

大部分的人，順帶一提是 42% 的人，是背靠背睡，

and 31 percent face the same direction

有 31% 的人，是面對同一方向，

only four percent of people sleep face to face

只有4%的人是面對面睡的

Extroverts tend to sleep closer in general

外向的人大部分傾向和伴侶睡得靠近一些，

but eighty-six percent of those who slept less than an inch apart were happy in their relationship;

而其中86%，睡覺和伴侶相隔不到 2.5 公分的人 (一英吋) 都擁有美好的感情；

while people who slept 30 inches apart are far less likely to be happy.

而睡覺時和伴侶相距 75 公分以上的人，日子就難過的多了。

Remembering that this is survey data

不過這只是個實驗數據，

so it is prone to bias.

所以可能會有偏差

It would seem that when human sleep further apart we are less happy.

這就顯示了似乎當人們和伴侶睡眠時的距離越遠，就有可能越不開心

Which I can tell you I've definitely experienced.

這也是我的真實經驗

But this ain't the first sleep position study.

但這是率先進行睡姿的研究

Back in 2003, the sleep assessment and advisory service in the UK

2003年，英國一家睡眠分析及諮詢機構，

broke down the six basic sleep positions and compared them to their personality types.

提出了六種睡姿及相對應的個性

The study included a thousand people from Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, China

這項實驗包含了 1000 位受試者，分別來自澳洲、日本、香港、中國

Singapore and of course the UK.

新家坡，當然還有英國

People who sleep in the fetal position according to science are quote tough on the outside but sensitive at heart,

根據研究，胎兒型睡姿意味著外表強硬但內心敏感柔弱，

which amounts to 41 percent the respondents and twice as many of those were women.

在受試者中佔 41% 其中女性更比男性多了兩倍，

But fetal is one of six possible sleeping positions.

然而胎兒睡姿，只是六種可能睡姿的其中之一

fetal, freefall, starfish, soldier, log and yearner

六種分別是胎兒、自由落體、海星、軍人、木頭，還有渴望型睡姿

starfish is the rarest and after fetus the log is the most common.

海星睡姿是最少見的，而木頭睡姿僅次於胎兒睡姿排名第二

Sleeping in those positions can indicate a tendency toward acceptance,

這些睡姿可以透露你的性格傾向，包括對事物接受度高

cynicism more, maybe you're suspicious or, you're more friendly or even whether you're more brash

憤世嫉俗、容易猜疑、友善的、急躁的

or you're good at taking criticism.

或是擅於接受批評。

All that can be told just by how you sleep.

這些都可以透過你的睡姿來解釋。

It's pretty cool that feels a little kind astrology like to me.

這真的很酷，對我來說有點像是占星術。

Medically speaking the freefall is good for digestion,

就醫學上來說，自由落體睡姿對消化有幫助

while the starfish and soldier often lead to breathing issues which include snoring.

海星和軍人的睡姿常會導致呼吸的問題，包括打呼

Yet another study of 3,000 adults found that there really is a wrong side of the bed,

有另外一個針對3000位成人的研究，

that's the right side. Kind of confusing.

發現向右邊側睡是比較不好的。有點複雜吧

25 percent of people who tended toward the left side see a positive outlook on life,

傾向朝左邊側睡的人，有 25% 會對人生有比較積極的態度

while only 18 percent of right-siders see that.

而傾向朝右邊側睡的人，只有 18% 對人生有較積極的態度。

66 percent of the lefty sleepers believe that they're calmer in crisis,

有66%的人認為他們比較能冷靜處理危機

have more confidence, and are more likely to be in permanent employment.

更有自信、也更有可能找到固定工作

On top of that, 31 percent to them love their job,

除此之外，有 31% 向左側睡的人，熱愛他們的工作

while only 18 percent of righty-sleepers love theirs.

而只有 18% 向右側睡的人，喜歡他們的工作。

In the end, how you sleep affects way more than just well, your night's sleep.

最後你的睡姿不只影響你的睡眠品質

A study in the Journal Dreaming found that people who sleep on their stomachs, for example

Journal Dreaming 做了一項研究，發現趴睡的人

report dreams about sex and persecution and Erotomania more often

會作有關於性或是迫害的夢，甚至導致被愛妄想症

or an Erotomania is the delusion that a celebrity is in love with you

被愛妄想症會讓你產生有名人愛上你的幻想

It's weird and science isn't really sure why this is, but it's definitely there

這很奇怪，雖然科學無法解釋但事實擺在眼前

For sure more research is needed in this area.

確定的是，這個領域還需要更多的研究。

I'm a freefall sleeper,

我是自由落體睡姿，

for sure although I don't necessarily agree with their personality assessment

當然我不完全相信他們所提出的，自由落體睡姿的人的個性

But what about you?

那你呢
