Sleep Vs Cuddling<br />

Evolutionary psychologists at<br />

the University of Michigan and<br />

Albright College in Pennsylvania<br />

say that the tendency to fall<br />

asleep first after sex is associated<br />

with greater partner desire for<br />

post-coital cuddling and chatting.<br />

Explains lead author Daniel Kruger,<br />

“The more one's partner was likely<br />

to fall asleep after sex, the stronger<br />

the desire for bonding.” The study,<br />

that appears in the ‘Journal of<br />

Social, Evolutionary, and Cultural<br />

Psychology’, has found that falling<br />

asleep before one's partner may be<br />

a non-conscious way to foreclose<br />

on any commitment conversation<br />

after sex.<br />

The study did not find it more<br />

common for men to fall asleep first<br />

after sex. Women, however, were<br />

more likely to fall asleep first when<br />

sex hadn't taken place.<br />
