Re: Interesting article with ramifcations for overnighters...

Not too surprising, I think many of the ladies on the board would agree. It's especially difficult when you are still establishing a certain level of rapport. Dining out is one thing, but snuggling up for the evening is quite another.

Thanks for sharing.

Per my SO, I know I snore, enough that we haven't shared a bed for years.  Of course, it is inaudible to me, but I get more complaints if I went to sleep after a few drinks during the evening.  For my overnighters, (about 10 to 15) I do try to limit the alcohol (though there have been a couple of occasions when we were both really high).  Always, I try to sleep as upright as possible, snuggle but keep my head as far away from her ear as possible, and really try not to get into too deep a sleep.  In the AM my friend always puts on a brave face and says that she hardly heard a thing.  It is clear that they are not just experts at keeping up the sexual fantasy!

hmm, interesting article. i do know that it can be a struggle to sleep comfortably next to my Husband, because of his loud, non-rhythmic snoring and also his habit of jerking and thrashing about in the night (have gotten a fist or elbow in the mouth more than once). however there are some clients i've slept very peacefully with...one in particular was a rather large gentleman, about 3 times my weight and a foot taller. His body was so warm and he would always hold me just so, all cradled up against him with a hand on my tummy, even when he was deep asleep. He also didn't snore at all. sleeping with him was a dream, i was always well-rested.

perhaps the reason men generally don't have a difficult time sleeping with a partner could be because they tend to be deeper sleepers, or, especially in the case of a man sleeping with a provider, they are sexually sated and so naturally fall into a deep sleep.
