DO NOT DISTURB

Savage Kitten and I often sleep in the same bed. Does this surprise you?

I didn't think so. Sharing the same bed is fairly normal for many couples. Despite the several decades of anti-bed-sharing propaganda by the movie industry.
[Remember all those black and white films? Remember the two beds with a night stand in between? How about 1950s television shows?]

Except that according to medical experts, it isn't normal.


Bed sharing 'bad for your health'

Quote:

"Dr Robert Meadows, a sociologist at the University of Surrey, said: "People actually feel that they sleep better when they are with a partner but the evidence suggests otherwise."
He carried out a study to compare how well couples slept when they shared a bed versus sleeping separately.
Based on 40 couples, he found that when couples share a bed and one of them moves in his or her sleep, there is a 50% chance that their slumbering partner will be disturbed as a result."


STOP FIGHTING!

I don't know how to break this to Savage Kitten.
Some of the more rambunctious roomies will have to go.

The one-legged monkey who steals my underpants? Off to the other side.
The sock-sheep, who sneakily pokes me with a stick while I'm unconscious? Join the monkey in the other room, please.
The small slutty French bovine person? Go rub your sticky udders up against one of the other creatures somewhere else.
The Froad, the Kitten, the three-inch dinosaur, and the neo-Nazi Raccoon (he keeps saying crap like 'sieg heil', and 'bomb you, Dutchie')? Off off off!

On the other hand, the hand-puppet spider and the sweet little she-sheep with pink bows can stay.
I actually feel that I sleep better when they are over here, and there is no evidence to even suggest otherwise.

Same goes for Savage Kitten. Especially when she brings Ms. Bruin over. The influence of the senior roomie is most beneficial to a good night's rest. No one dares riot in the middle of the night if she is nearby.
Teddy bears can be fierce when disturbed.

Sometimes the phrase "medical experts" suggests a grip on reality comparable to that of Grant "Panty Rant" Patel's.
