Question

A scientist believes he has discovered a direct link between people's favourite sleeping position and their personality.Professor Chris Idzikowski has described six different positions and what each one says about a person's character.The professor,who did the research for a hotel group,said,"We are all aware of our body language when we are awake but this is the first time we have been able to see what our position says about us when we are asleep."At the moment,Professor Idzikowski is trying to sleep in a yoga position that involves crossing your legs around your neck.He says there is no perfect position for sleeping.
