Sleep or cuddle after sex?

A new study conducted by the University of Michigan and the Albright College in Philadelphia, and published in the Journal of Social, Evolutionary and Cultural Psychology , showed that the tendency to fall asleep after the act of sex may be associated with the desire of the couple that is awake to make a connection to show affection and commitment.

As will report, Science Daily , researchers examined 456 people who completed a survey about their experiences and desires with their partners after sex. Participants indicated who fell asleep after sex and who fell asleep first when going to bed without having sex. Those who indicated that their partners that they first slept after intimacy proved to be those with greater desire to snuggle and talk. This because according to research, "Falling asleep before the couple can be an unconscious way to avoid commitment talks after sex." In addition, findings showed that despite the common stereotype, not found any indication to say that the men fell asleep more quickly than women after sex. The women however were more likely to fall asleep first when there was no sex involved. Meanwhile, the men could stay awake longer in an attempt to attract a mate to have sex.
