Sleep benefits of cuddling

I had a quite wonderful extended cuddle session Thursday afternoon/evening. I slept like a baby that night and woke up feeling refreshed and recharged. Check this out-I think Friday’s sleep data after my session shows how beneficial regular cuddling can be

  • That’s awesome! Great idea to track the differences. I know some people who enjoy journaling as well and recording their mood and sense of well being after sessions to help them remember and look back on it as well, even if it’s just jotting down in general how the session went. Research has always intrigued me and would be curious to hear more if you did more of this.

  • I’m a nerd when it comes to tracking things (did some advanced Six Sigma training with work) but this is the only metric I can quantify. I know how I feel but I don’t know how to put it into numbers…being an INTJ has its pluses and minuses :)

    I definitely agree that cuddling has several benefits, my sleep quality & quantity was so much better after a cuddle or whilst.
    As a person with chronic sleep issues, sleeping with my buddy was absolute bliss. Best sleep I have had in eons.

  • I am happy for you! 😌

    I definitely agree about sleep quality being better during and just after a good cuddle session. Some of the best sleep I've had has been either when I've fallen asleep during a cuddle session, or when I go to bed after having had a good cuddle session.
