  • Hello. Do you sleep? I sleep all the time.

  • It's my hobby. Is it my hobby? Yeah. Most people sleep 8, 7, 6, 5 to 12 hours a day or a night.

  • And when we sleep, most people

  • sleep in different positions. Some people, like me, we toss and turn. "Toss and turn"

  • means one position, another position, you go through all the positions and you sleep

  • well, I guess. Other people do not change positions when they sleep,

  • so they're kind of like they're frozen.

  • For me, my sleep position changes, so I can't really choose something about my personality,

  • but you maybe can choose or understand more about your personality by your sleeping position.

  • So, when you go to bed at night, do you sleep like a little baby, or do you sleep spread

  • out, or do sleep very stiffly? What we're going to go through is teach you some vocabulary-you

  • like new vocabulary-about your personality. Exciting. Let's go to it.

  • So: "Sleep Positions And Your Personality". The first one is the "fetal" position. The

  • fetal position means basically you sleep like a little baby. If you watch a baby sleep,

  • they're curled up. Their legs and their arms are close to their head. If you sleep like

  • this it means you have a tough exterior. Now, "a tough exterior" means that you don't really

  • show your emotions well. On the outside, you're like: "Everything's great", but on the inside-oh,

  • oh, oh-you are actually very shy and sensitive. Kind of like a baby. So, if you sleep like

  • a baby, you're just a big baby. Aren't ya? Your position would be a fetal position, and

  • it means you have a tough exterior, but your inside is soft and squishy.

  • The next one is a "log". Hmm. A "log" in English is a piece of a tree. It's a big piece of

  • a tree. So, if you picture a tree, trees don't move. The... The bottom of the tree. So, a

  • log position is you would be sleeping on your side, and you don't move ever, not even to

  • go to the bathroom. If you're a log sleeper, you are social, so you like to hang out with

  • people, you like to go to parties. Log party! Your room. And you're easy-going, but-oh,

  • guess what?-you're gullible. Do you know what "gullible" means? Do you? Okay. "Gullible"

  • means that you believe what people tell you all the time. So, for example, if I told you

  • that I really, really like raisins: I love raisins, I eat raisins every day - you'd be

  • like: "Oh, Ronnie likes raisins." No. I actually don't eat raisins every day. You're gullible

  • because you believe what people tell you. You don't question people. This is a bad thing.

  • Being gullible is not good. Okay? So, if someone tells you something, like me, check it out,

  • make sure you know that this person's not telling you fibs.

  • The next position is called "yearner". Yearner, yearner. So, this is how I sleep a lot. I

  • sleep with my one leg straight, and my other leg curled up, so it's kind of like a fetal

  • position, except the one leg is extended and the arms can be any way you want them. And

  • if you are a yearner, you have an open personality. I guess I have an open personality. So it

  • means that you like to talk to people, you like to show your emotions. But we got a problem

  • with this. You are suspicious of others. "Suspicious" means you do not trust people. Hey, that's

  • me to a tee. That means that... Yeah, this would definitely describe my personality.

  • I'm very suspicious of people. These two would actually be the opposite, so "gullible" and

  • "suspicious of others" are opposites. Which one are you? Are you gullible? Do you believe

  • me? Or are you doubting what I'm telling you right now? If you're doubting, you're suspicious.

  • The next one is a "soldier". So, if you think of a soldier lying in a bed without moving

  • unless he or she is told to move, this would be the soldier position. You would lie on

  • your back with your feet and your arms straight out. This person has quite short arms because

  • they're a soldier, and one of their arms is missing. Okay? So, be careful if you're a

  • soldier. Just like a soldier, you are disciplined. "Disciplined" means that you have a very,

  • very strict routine, and you do things as you are told to do, and you don't do things

  • strangely or you're not that crazy. Okay, definitely not me. But you have a problem,

  • you have a flaw, you have a bad thing - you set high expectations for others. Now, if

  • you set high expectations for others this means you expect other people to be reliable,

  • to be dependable, to help you to do what you do. So, for example, if you are very organized

  • and you are very dependable, you kind of want other people to be reliable and dependable

  • as well. Guess what? Not going to happen. So, one of your flaws is you expect people

  • to be good. Are people evil sometimes? So, not everyone's good, so lower your expectations

  • of others, soldiers.

  • And one of my favourites, really, just the name, is a "starfish". A starfish is a creature

  • that lives in the ocean. This is the person's hair, they have purple hair. Okay? So a starfish

  • is the person is lying face down, almost like they're dead. And for the starfish people

  • out there, hello, your friends are very important in your life. But-there's always a "but" with

  • these ones-you dislike being in the spotlight. So, "being in the spotlight", we have another

  • expression that I could say: "being the centre of attention". If you are the centre of attention

  • or in the spotlight, it means everyone's looking at you. Oh, that's me now. So, right now I

  • could say: "I'm in the spotlight", because everyone's looking at me. Oh, oh, hi, everyone.

  • Second to last one-Free Fallin', Tom Petty, hello-is kind of the opposite of starfish

  • because you're on your... You're lying on your back, not on your front, so you're not

  • going to suffocate. The "freefall" position means... Guess what? You are self-confident,

  • but you're also sensitive to criticism. So, "criticism" comes from the word "criticise".

  • If somebody criticises you, they tell you your bad points. Now, nobody likes to hear

  • their bad points. You don't want me to tell you that you have bad breath or you smell

  • bad, or: "You're pretty obnoxious when you're drunk." If somebody criticizes you, you get

  • really upset, you starfish people, probably because you're so damn self-confident. So,

  • be careful about that one. If you are in the spotlight or in the centre of attention, you

  • probably like it, but some people don't. So be careful.

  • And the last one, probably the best one yet is called the "back snorer". Now, as you can

  • tell, there's something special about these back snorer people. "Snore" is the noise that

  • you make-[snores]-or some people make when they sleep. Do you snore? You don't know?

  • Ask. Ask someone. Ask your friend. A lot of people snore when they're on their back. It

  • has something to do with the airflow or circulation. Or a lot of people who drink... Not milk.

  • A lot of people who drink alcohol or are drunk, they tend to snore more. So, it can get really

  • annoying, actually, if your partner snores. Mm-hmm. Pillow over the head works. No, no,

  • don't do that. Death. But back snorers, hey, you guys got it... The bad, bad thing here.

  • You guys are really irritable. Now, "irritable" means like you're moody. For example, you

  • are angry or not in a good mood a lot. It's like people waking up in the morning and never

  • getting the morning coffee. You could say that people are bitchy if they're irritable.

  • However, back snorers, you have a good, really, really fantastic bonus to your personality.

  • You are fashionable. Do you know what "fashionable" means? Fashion? "Fashionable" means you have

  • a really, really good fashion sense. Check out this guy's pajamas, those are fantastic.

  • He has a hat and a feather in his hat. Now, he sleeps on his back, so that's cool. When

  • he snores, the feather moves. [Snores]. It's like a cartoon.

  • He's got some fly pajamas going on, there.

  • So, what I want you to do is I want you to think about how you sleep. What position do

  • you sleep in? As I told you before, I do this, this, this. I do all of them together. I'm

  • kind of all these personalities in one, but what are you? And do you agree with this?

  • I'm predominantly a yearner, and yes, I am. I have an open personality, and boy, am I

  • suspicious of you right now.

  • Until next time, see ya later.

Hello. Do you sleep? I sleep all the time.
