    According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.

    Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up (蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps.

    The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.

    “The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps.

    Yearner (向往) sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.

    Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.

    Inconclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good night's sleep set you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”

    李沆,字太初,洺州肥乡人。沆少好学,器度宏远,太平兴国五年,举进士甲科。相府召试约束边将诏书,既奏御,太宗甚悦,命直史馆。雍熙三年,太宗谓宰相曰:“李沆、宋湜,皆嘉士也。”即命中书召试,并除右补阙、知制诰。沆位最下,特升于上。四年,与翰林学士宋白同知贡举。谤议虽众,而不归咎于沆。入翰林为学士。

    会契丹犯边,真宗北幸,命沆留守,京师肃然。真宗还,沆迎于郊,命坐置酒,慰劳久之。真宗问治道所宜先,沆曰:“不用浮薄新进喜事之人,此最为先。”问其人,曰:“如梅询、曾致尧等是矣。”帝尝语及唐人树党难制,遂使王室微弱,盖奸邪难辨尔。沆对曰:“佞言似忠,奸言似信,至如卢杞蒙蔽德宗,李勉以为真奸邪,是也。”真宗曰:“奸邪之迹,虽曰难辨,然久之自败。”

    一夕,遣使持手诏欲以刘氏为贵妃,沆对使者引烛焚诏,附奏曰:“但道臣沆以为不可。”其议遂寝。帝以沆无密奏,谓之曰:“人皆有密启,卿独无,何也?”对曰:“臣待罪宰相,公事则公言之,何用密启?夫人臣有密启者,非谗即佞,臣常恶之,岂可效尤?”

    沆为相,王旦参政事,以西北用兵,或至旰食。旦叹曰:“我辈安能坐致太平,得优游无事耶?”沆曰:“少有忧勤,足为警戒。他日四方宁谧,朝廷未必无事。”后契丹和亲,旦问何如,沆曰:“善则善矣,然边患既息,恐人主渐生侈心耳。”旦未以为然。沆又日取四方水旱盗贼奏之,旦以为细事不足烦上听。沆曰:“人主少年,当使知四方艰难。不然,血气方刚,不留意声色犬马,则土木、甲兵、祷祠之事作矣。”沆没后,真宗以契丹既和,西夏纳款,遂封岱祠汾①,大营宫观,蒐②讲坠典③,靡有暇日。旦乃以沆先识之远,叹日:“李文靖真圣人也。”遂谓之“圣相”。

    景德元年七月,沆待漏将朝,疾作而归,诏太医诊视,抚问之使相望于道。明日,驾往临问,赐白金五千两。方还宫而沆薨,年五十八。上闻之惊叹,趣驾再往,临哭之恸,谓左右曰:“沆为大臣,忠良纯厚,始终如一,岂意不享遐寿!”言终又泣下。废朝五日,赠太尉、中书令,谥文靖。

    沆没后,或荐梅询可用,真宗曰:“李沆尝言其非君子。”其为信倚如此。
