Achieving the action potentials requirements for a neuron

The charge of a neuron cell when accumulating the charge differential for an electrical signal requires it to be relatively negative inside. The sodium ions collect inside via channels and the potassium ions exit the cell to approach the threshold. Is it required to have this arrangement of sodium ion concentration to increase inside and potassium's outside, or would it be less efficient to have the converse situation. i think it has to do the resting potential and also the environment of the neuron's usual charge.
