Just when I think I have seen or heard everything, here comes a book on sleep positions. Yes, you read that right. Your personality can be determined from what position you assume when you sleep. I have a hard time buying this one as legit science, but I am keeping an open mind. A cursory search said Dunkell does have serious medical credentials and published a book on insomnia in 1996.

So is this a weeder? Yeah, the pub date is too old. However if I were a librarian in the late 70s instead of a a high school student, I would have included it in a collection. Please weigh in on this. I actually find this whole topic to be quite fascinating.

PS In case you are interested, I think I am somewhere between fetal position and “Dutch Wife.”  Holly is a sleep walker so I wonder what THAT means.
