The study also claims that women in stable relationships fall asleep faster when they are sleeping
with their spouse. Many men involved in the study did not like the idea that their partner fell to
sleep more quickly, mostly because, as one man in the study said, "We want to have more sex, not
more sleep."

Brock admitted this was a drawback. "Not all men felt that way, though. Some men were happy their
mates fell to sleep. One, in fact, said he developed a fetish that requires his mate go to sleep
before he is able to have sex. He enjoys watching her sleep and completing the act himself."

Another scientist involved in the study, said, "The hormone oxcytocin, which is called the love
hormone, becomes very active when there is sleeping between two people in a good relationship.
With oxcytocin brewing, anxiety lessens as well does the fear of being trapped in a taxi with
Oprah Winfrey."

Also, it was learned that couples sleeping in the nude together woke up both feeling refreshed and
excited about flaky cereal for breakfast. Couples that wore pajamas, especially if the pajamas were
adorned with drawings of animals, often dreamed of being chased and caged and woke up jittery,
feeling like they needed a bath.

"We will not take the study to the next step," said Brock, "which involves three-way sleeping and
its affect on which sex wants to go to sleep more quickly than the other."
