Why All Men Should Sleep Alone

Sleeping with a lover has a powerful and negative effect on one part of
a man's anatomy: his brain. Men, whether you have sex or not, sharing
your bed all night long can actually make you stupid, sapping your brain
power--at least temporarily.
That's the surprising conclusion reached by scientists from the
University of Vienna in Austria, reports New Scientist. Oddly, men
thought they slept better with a partner and women believed they did
not. In fact, both men and women had more disturbed sleep, but in men it
affected their ability to perform on cognitive tests the next day.
This has nothing to do with having sex--or not. It's all about sleep
quality.
The study: Led by Gerhard Kloesch, the team studied eight unmarried,
childless couples in their 20s using both questionnaires and a wrist
activity monitor called an "actigraph" to assess sleep patterns. The
couples spent 10 nights sharing the same bed and 10 nights sleeping in
different beds.
The results for men: Men said they slept better with their partner, but
in actuality they had more disturbed sleep even when they did not have
sex before falling asleep. That lack of sleep caused increased levels of
a stress hormone, which reduced their ability to perform simple
cognitive tests the next day, reports New Scientist. Interestingly, when
men had sex and then fell asleep with their partner, they were better
able to remember their dreams the next day.
The results for women: Women said they slept better alone, and they were
right. Still, even when they slept with their partners they reported
being far more refreshed in the morning than their sleep time indicated.
Unlike their partners, their stress levels and mental scores did not
suffer. When it comes to dream recall, women were the opposite of men.
They remembered their dreams better when they slept alone than when they
slept with their partner.
"It's not surprising that people are disturbed by sleeping together.
Historically, we have never been meant to sleep in the same bed as each
other. It is a bizarre thing to do," Dr. Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at
the University of Surrey, told the BBC News. "Sleep is the most selfish
thing you can do, and it's vital for good physical and mental health.
Sharing the bed space with someone who is making noises and who you have
to fight with for the duvet is not sensible. If you are happy sleeping
together that's great, but if not there is no shame in separate beds."
Kloesch presented the research at a meeting of the Forum of European
Neurosciences in Vienna in July 2006.

PMS

LOL! AS IF

Who was that aimed at????
PMS

I don't think even she can be certain who that was aimed at, PMS.

Hey, Ghost, is that why they never stay the night? I thought it was my
233 cats and one litter box.

I don't think so either lily.
PMS

Blow it off, my friend....it's a craaaazzzzyyyy site!

Yeah, I know. It's just unfortunate that so are some of the members. And
I just think it's wrong how some members put in their profile how nice
and sweet and Godly they are. Then they come out here and bash and bad
mouth certain members or as in my case just never even give them a
chance to speak their minds as they do. I'm just tired of it, this site
is for everyone. Not just certain people.
PMS

P.S. You notice that she hasn't had the guts to respond. And as for
myself, I'll put it in here, I'm going to bed now, just so no one thinks
I'm avoiding their comments.

I don't know about that,i've been divorced now for a year and a half,and
i have not had a descent nights sleep since.I think i
maybe get 4 hours sleep a night max.I think i sleep better with
someone than alone.

Well, I've been married for 31 years, so it's too late to change now!
Sleeping without my wife would be like going without air.

How is your wife gonna like having that third party in bed with the tow
of ya....providing you find her.....

I guess you finally get use to having to share your bed with someone.
And the same is probably true when you devorce. You learn to get use to
it. Or stay up all night and watch the late shows. LOL

well you know... even the studies proved all I need to know.
We feel better in the morning having a partner to sleep with, and wake
up to. So I don't care if my cognitive abilities suffer for it. I'll
take the same face every morning rather than an empty spot...and an
empty feeling...


Mac

the couch in order to save his cgnitive abilities,LOL

Hell are you kidding?? this is GREAT news!!!! NOW, I finally have an
