Get Your Priorities in Order: Sex, Then Sleep

Don't let tiredness ruin your love life

Share

(Newser) – Research reveals that more than three-quarters of Britons want sleep more than sex, which is understandable, writes Jackie Clune in the Daily Mail. In most people's busy lives, “sex just seems like another thing on the long list of Things To Do.” But it’s important for couples not to let it fall by the wayside, she points out: “Sex is the glue that binds a couple, and not having it has led to much unsticking.”

80% of Brits would rather get sleep than sex, a survey says.

Leads to a lot of stickiness.... I agree. Have more sex, more the better. 2 times a day is best. 1 short session before breakfast and 1 long session after dinner (she will be full for awhile so give her 45.) Reply

"Research reveals that more than three-quarters of Britons want sleep more than sex,"... they should have interviewed some men for this study. Reply
