Hour extra sleep or..

[debij]

A question on the tv show, The VIEW by Whoppi was:
would you prefer one hour extra sleep to one hour of sex??

The overwhelming majority voted for one hour extra sleep. Was supposedly a poll done by USA Today of Americans. Gosh, what does that say about us? Too tired, work too much????? Too tired for sex?? I wonder what the ratio of male/female was for the survey?

It says people are stressed, worn out. Working 40+ hours, working 50 weeks a year is too much.

You know in Europe even McDonald's employees get 5 weeks paid vacation?

And doesnt Canada give a good amount of paid maternity leave? Most companies in the USA give you 6 weeks to get back & often its without pay. Work + family + children + bills & everything else makes it hard. How many of us stay up late playing catch-up with things, then up for work the next day - we all do it over & over.

I work over 80 hours a week and I pick sex. I've never been too much of a good sleeper, but sex destresses me and relaxes me.

Take this as I'm saying it, but working 80 hours a week, you are never, ever de-stressed, it's not humanly possible. I couldn't do that, it would destroy me, mentally, physically, and emotionally. I can't imagine how you ever want sex. The higher pressure my life becomes turns sex into one other stressor in my life.

I'm also about as far away from a type A personality as you can get. I can't handle anything stressful, not even amusement park rides.

I'll take sex over sleep any day anytime.....

I wonder what percentage of those who chose sex over sleep were under mid 30's and what percentage were over mid 30's?

I was actually wondering something similar, along the lines of "I wonder if those who would prefer sleep are married?"

IMO, I guess you could call it a problem with marriage is that it sort of takes all the challenge away. You wake up, there's a penis, you go to bed, there's a penis. It's always there and generally speaking, most guys are amicable to sexuals if the woman has a reasonable degree of enthusiasm.

I've always had mismatched libidos with my current partner, I want it pretty much daily/anytime he's a once a week kinda guy

Sadly I only work 40 hours a week and don't have any kids, but I would still pick the sleep.
