The art of napping in a world of cuddling

Do people fall asleep during cuddle sessions? Have you done it, has someone fallen asleep while on a session with you?

I've seen some pros advertise overnight sessions.. how do you deal with heavy sleepers in the morning? Would you just grab your stuff and go? Lol

This question came to mind when I smacked myself on the head with my phone last night when I fell asleep while browsing the forums and it slipped off my hand..

    I do doze off for a few minutes most of the time. Once with a Pro we both fell asleep and passed our agreed time by one hour!!!
    For me I love waking up and still embraced in a tight cuddle. When cuddling with a lady, Pro or not and she can doze off when we are cuddling, that is a great feeling that she can trust me that much to be relaxed so much that she could fall asleep. It truly puts a smile on my face!!!.

    Yes, it's common for people to fall asleep during cuddle sessions. Happens to me all the time. I've also had professionals fall asleep on me, which is technically very bad practice but in those particular cases was perfectly fine for all concerned. Having an experienced professional fall asleep on you in a daytime session is about the nicest thing that can happen to you in cuddling.

    Protocols for the morning - including whether, when and how to wake somebody up - are discussed in advance.

    @CuddleDuncan @waynewv I agree that there is little to compare with the sense of mutual trust that is conveyed by falling asleep in one another's presence.

    To make a sharp and jarring contrast, I once had a therapist fall asleep during my session with him. I informed him that he had lost a client. 🤦‍♂️

    I too think it’s a beautiful experience when someone falls asleep while you’re holding them. It’s such an honor that you get to be a part of them getting peaceful rest!!!

    Lots of people fall asleep on me. And sometimes I snooze too 😊😴❤️

    It’s a huge compliment when my cuddlers fall asleep during our session. Some have apologized when waking up but I’ve told them it’s a huge ego boost. I must be doing something right if you get so relaxed that you pass out lol just feeling their body loosen up and you start feeling the little twitches and then the little a note comes popping out. Love it chefs kiss

    I agree, I wouldn’t mind at all and would feel very honored that the person would feel comfortable and trusting of me to do so.

    I have 99.9% sleep 💤rate if session is over an hour..If you DONT fall asleep 😴while In a session with me 🫂, I start to think something is wrong😁, I start checking deordeant 🧼 and breath 🗣️, or maybe Monsters👹 under the bed 🛏️👀

    I love a session where a fellow cuddler falls asleep with me. Like @Babichev, if feels like a huge endorsement of trust. I've only fallen asleep once during a session and as I pro, I felt SOO bad.

    I'm not a huge napper because it usually messes up my sleep schedule. Buuuut if I'm really cozy comfy you might catch me drifting. "Aunty sleepytime" is no joke. I have a strong record of lulling others to sleep during cuddles 😁

    For me personally, if my cuddle buddy falls asleep in the session then I’ve done my job!! It happens a lot especially during massage sessions and I find it flattering. The whole goal for my sessions are to relax and feel closer and there’s nothing (to me) that communicates trust & relaxation more than someone allowing themselves to be in that vulnerable position with me. I myself am a heavy sleeper but most alarm sounds definitely trigger fight or flight and combat that haha, but for someone I’ve had multiple sessions with I’ll generally allow them extra time to wake up more smoothly, nothing undoes the relaxation like those alarms do😭

    I guess I've never felt that level of safety and trust around a stranger to fall asleep in their arms 🥲
    I've been done wrong and hurt too many times.

    Do y'all usually set the alarm at the hour mark and sprint out like Cinderella at midnight or use it as a 5 or 10 minute reminder?

  • TheFunCartelTheFunCartel

    @Gabriel2k I have found most pros use it as a 10-15 minute reminder. I can only remember one pro whose alarm went off and said ok that’s it. She was a good cuddler, but it was jarring and undid a lot of what a cuddle session is supposed to accomplish. Fortunately, 99% of pros do not do that.

  • bekah_cuddlesbekah_cuddles

    I often have cuddlers fall asleep on me, even when they tell themselves they won't! 😅 I always set an alarm for the end of the session so that I don't have to check the time, but I take my time (about 5 min) bringing the session to a close.

  • TouchmesoftlyTouchmesoftly

    I do take it as a huge compliment when a person feels so safe and relaxed to sleep BUT only after lots of cuddling. Otherwise it’s rude and selfish to come to a session for a nap and barely cuddle if at all. Has not happened to me but heard it happened to others. Napping is also fine when both parties agree to time and length. Personally I ask is it ok if I continue to give platonic touch if u so happen to doze off. Then just respect whatever they want.

  • ShaneSchruteShaneSchrute

    I feel like cuddling is a quietly, low key active activity so I do try not to fall asleep. Although if I’m really comfortable with my cuddler I will fall asleep near the end; especially if it’s a longer session.

  • TouchmesoftlyTouchmesoftly

    @Gabriel2k … dude you are fine. Everybody is different and your feelings r valid because their yours. Don’t compare yourself to anybody else. Do what is comfortable now and if that changes later… great. Think it’s amazing u know why u feel uncomfortable sleeping with buddy. Awareness is always the first step in making some sort of progress.

    Something weird happened once🤔…
    I did cuddle this one guy and everything was going great. I actually don’t think I ever had a person sleep so hard with me and be so relaxed. Especially since I was his first person to Cuddle on this website. Afterwards he was really freaking out that he slept at all. He said because I could have stolen something, be crazy, or killed him. It was like he never considered any negative consequences before. I was so shocked by his reaction cause usually after such a great session usually my buddy and I are just zen and thankful. It was so weird!! Instead of feeling like a yummy pool of mush cause I’m so relaxed I was mildly offended.

    In a way he is not wrong. We are just cuddling strangers but that’s why you communicate a lot before hand. Now that I think about it I don’t think he has confidence in people. Maybe just did not know how to gauge a person’s character from their actions and words. Oh well🤷🏽‍♀️. Lol think that guy was surprised how good it can feel to cuddle without expectations for more. He was really surprised by how he reacted to being cuddled and expected to behave differently. When he did not react the way he expected he did not know what to do except panic. That’s too bad. That session only proved that he needed cuddling and was definitely a happy place.

    @Gabriel2k do what makes you feel comfortable and just make sure your on the same page with your buddy. You may feel differently after a few sessions with the same buddy.

    😂sorry for the book. Responding to this question really made me think and I’m really tired. I get wordy when I’m tired. Goodnight folks 😴😪

    Nice post, @Touchmesoftly

    I’ve had many fall asleep, some have snored. I don’t dare wake them, until the alarm. It’s usually always the mama bear position.
