Bed Sharing Drains Men's Brains

This could be the answer to the recent spurt (sic) of 'what's wrong with men' threads.

For myself, I miss her when she's not here, I don't sleep any better or worse, just with my hands in a different place

That hasn't been my experience.

Sleeping alone means I spend a lot of time tossing and turning. The only thing I miss from being married is waking up in the morning all warm and snuggly.

Last time I slept with another person in my bed I slept like a log. Of course we had just spent two hours fucking one another's brains out so I'm not sure that's typical.

This is just a guess, but I bet Professor Stanley doesn't get layed very often. Especially when I read quotes like, "Sharing the bed space with someone who is making noises and who you have to fight with for the duvet is not sensible."

Yup. Rationalization at its finest!

As one who sleeps like a stone most nights, that's the silliest research I've seen in ages. Of course, I've only been sharing a bed for 40 years now, so perhaps my sample is limited.

Professor Gerhard Kloesch and colleagues at the University of Vienna studied eight unmarried, childless couples in their 20s.

So the professor is basing his conclusion on 8 men. Just 8? In their 20's so they may have the needs of a 20 year-old's body for, say, sleeping alone to get their rest as compared to, say, a 40 year old who may need to sleep with someone to get the same rest? Who are unmarried and, therefore, may not be used to sleeping with someone full time?

Has the professor ever heard of "small or unrepresentative sample?" This one covers both. His sample is too small to conclude that it goes for the whole of the human race (he really needed to sample at least 100 people), and it's too unrepresentative--I'm guessing that these men did not come from different cultures, levels of society, and, as noted, were not different ages.

And did the professor change out the women they were sleeping with? Or the men the women were sleeping with come to that. I mean the other side is under sampled as well.

It's bogus. All it tells us is that these 8 men don't do well first thing in the morning when they sleep with these women. Maybe they don't sleep well because they've all got guilty consciouses or don't really care for these women?

But hey, it's a nice excuse for guys who don't want to stay and cuddle afters sex: "Sorry, Babe, studies show that if a stay the night it'll drain my brain. You wouldn't want that to happen to me, would you?"

You mean he's going to get MORE forgetful?

Its articles like this that make me SO glad I'm a lesbian!

(Hey, when two women sleep together does that mean the wake up smarter?)

Ooooh, I LIKE this theory! *grin*

 

[Corylea]

I find it easier to FALL asleep when my husband is there but easier to STAY asleep when I'm alone. A sweet, loving presence makes falling asleep easier, but he's a very restless sleeper: he tosses and turns and fidgets with the covers and fumbles around on the headboard looking for a pill and blows his nose and puts a heating pad on his sore shoulder, and ... the man is doing something all goddamned night.

No, women get smarter after childbirth. Check the research; it's there.

Makes sense. If women got smarter BEFORE childbirth, there would be one hell of a lot less people running around!

 

[Liar]

Been sleeing solo for the last 5 years. And yeah, I'm smarter than most of you. So case closed.

MWahahahahahhahaha



Like, men don't bother women as they sleep. Men don't toss, or snore, of have allergies and cold.

Women sleep deeper.

I think the professor hasn't had a woman in his bed in a while. Or, she is one of those who doesn't move...

Right on! I'm headed into the EENT specialist because poor Hot Mama really suffers if I forget to put in my mouthpiece. Without it I snore like a steam driven chainsaw. Fortunately, such things are now curable.
