Spend More Time In Bed To Spend More Time In Bed

Having a hard time getting people to do sex to you? Maybe you should be sleeping more.

Researchers claim to have found the first proof that getting a regular eight hours a night really does make you appear healthier and more attractive.

When untrained observers were shown photographs of the faces of volunteers who had been deprived of sleep, they judged them to be less healthy and less attractive than photographs of the same volunteers when well-rested.

In case the importance of all this is unclear, note that the “ability to read signs of sleep deprivation could have an evolutionary advantage, since an attractive face is a sign of good health. This triggers sexual attraction, the choice of a mate and the successful transmission of genes. A good night’s sleep before a date could mean the difference between a lifetime’s happiness and a taxi home alone.”

There is also something about lack of sleep damaging your immune system and causing heart problems, but really, who cares? It is all about getting to do sex and have sex done unto you. Naps all around!
