I'm certainly more content and feel better when I've got that kind of relationship.![]()
Hmm... From 4-10 AM is about 6 hours and on my own I felt like my butt was kicked about half the time if I slept that much, but with my ex-fiance it was a lot less, though we had a tendency to not actually get out of bed for an additional hour after that. Would wake up briefly a fair bit about halfway through the night though generally it was short enough I'd have difficulty remembering if I had or had just dreamt it.
Getting about 6ish with someone who I wanted to be sharing a bed with was a lot better than getting 8ish solo. 8-10ish is what I usually need, though that's been dropping with age, thankfully.
