Communal sleeping - are you interested?

[JustGeorge]

You should follow your husband's advice, surprise is the spice of life.

Its not surprising anymore, after about the 3,678th time saying it, though he gets what he wants enough of the time...

A surprise would be "I've shut off my phone so we can play a board game together." Now that would get me in the mood.

I think @JustGeorge would be a compatible companion.

I don't snore, but I wake often to check on everyone...

I'd be a good guard.

You know, I seldom have the cats wake me up.... but the dogs do occasionally. They don't bark, but they make noise, while the cats just sleep.

 

[Hold]

Meh. Its fine. Can't be any worse than the conditions I already sleep in.

I bet JustGeorge steals all the covers.

I bet JustGeorge steals all the covers.

Yeah... I do that.

But you'll be safe!

Once upon a time Europe was cut off from the rest of the world for several centuries due to the encroachment of, like, the Ottomans or something. And they forgot about hygiene for a while, and then Robin Hood came and fixed everything.

And that's when people stopped communal sleeping.

Sometimes I sleep on top of old magazines, because I have back issues.

How does that work?

How does that work?

You have to do it periodically. And keep journals.

Does anybody here like Three Dog Night? The band's name was inspired by a story about the sleeping habits of Aboriginal Australians, who use their dogs to keep warm on cold nights (the colder the nights, the more dogs were piled on).

I voted "Sleeping with me is sleeping with my pets." I only have one dog, but luckily the nights where I live don't get as cold as a three-dog night.

Oh, and also some of Jeremiah's mighty fine wine helps with sleeping, too!

It is 2 am where I live. Time to wreck havoc looking for food *starts yowling*

You're useful?

 

[Stevicus]

Part of the reason the practice of communal sleeping has faded away is possibly because of things like this:

 

[ChristineM]

You're useful?

Very, hubby would starve without me ;-)

I've forgotten what it's like to be useful.

I'm shocked! You were once useful?

 

[ChristineM]

I'm shocked! You were once useful?

Really???

 

[Revoltingest]

Even I am surprised.
