I am running on very little sleep these past couple of days. Very, very little. I’m sort of surprised I am able to string together sentences and keep my eyes open. Sigh, I guess I shouldn’t have hit that snooze button so many times.
My sleepiness got me thinking – when it comes down to sleep or a hookup, which wins? Well, I was able to answer this in a matter of .3 seconds… SLEEP! Sleep will always win in my book. Why you may ask? Well here are ten reasons that I think sleeping by myself is better than hooking up with someone.
You don’t need to shower
If you’re going to have someone super close to you, it’s common courtesy to shower. But beds are not “someones,” so when I want to sleep, I don’t have to shower. Since I hate showering, that is a huge plus.
You can wear whatever you want
While I usually try to dress up for somebody I like, when it comes to my bed, we’re on pretty casual terms. I can wear whatever I want to sleep and I prefer that low-pressure environment.
Spontaneity
Even a pretty spontaneous hookup requires some planning – like you both need to be in the same place. Sleep? I slept on the train this morning so I really can just do that whenever and wherever I want.
No awkward conversation
Ugh, those pre and post hookup conversations where you don’t know what to say, amirite? Well, beds don’t talk. I can just get right to sleeping, no awkward pre-convo needed.
Dreams are cool
Yes, during a hookup you can fantasize, but that requires active thinking. I prefer the idea of just closing my eyes and my brain plays a movie for me about the most random topics ever. It’s unpredictable and fun and requires no effort on my part.
Without sleep… LOOK OUT
Apparently women are grumpier than guys in the morning. And if I’m in a bad mood because a hookup interferes with my sleep schedule, guess who gets to hear all my whining? See, I’m looking out for his benefit!
You have freedom to sprawl
More than one person in a bed means less bed space. Less bed space means I am left uncomfortable. Why don’t we just skip all that and let me be totally comfortable falling asleep alone.
No awkward cuddling
Going along with bed space, a hookup can sometimes be a whole bunch of awkward tangles. Know what is instead always comfortable when it comes to cuddle? Cozying with a stuffed animal while going to sleep. Later, hookup buddy.
It’s all about me
With a hookup, there’s another person to think about. With sleep, I am in total control. It’s a completely me activity that benefits nobody besides me. I like that.
Sleep is loyal
Hookups may come and go, but sleep will always be there, every single day. I want to honor that kind of commitment which is why sleep ultimately wins.
Did I miss any obvious reasons? What do you think is better: sleeping or hooking up? Tell me in the comments!
