Falling asleep immediately after sex strengthens desire for cuddling

Participants then indicated “who falls asleep after sex?” and “who falls asleep first when going to bed not after sex?”

“The more one’s partner was likely to fall asleep after sex,the stronger the desire for bonding,” Newswise quoted Daniel Kruger,lead author of the study as saying.

The researchers found that participants whose partners nodded off immediately after sex had stronger desires for post-coital cuddling and chatting.

“Falling asleep before one’s partner may be a non-conscious way to foreclose on any commitment conversation after sex,” Susan Hughes,co-author of the study,said.
