When they watch a movie together or simply decide to stay in bed cuddling lovingly, if one of them closes his eyes until he falls into a deep sleep, it is considered the worst, because the other thinks it is because he is bored, because his company does not It’s interesting, but there’s actually another explanation for this, and falling asleep when you’re with your partner isn’t a bad habit.

When you are with your partner, sleep overtakes you because your heart rate slows and your breathing slows, while your blood pressure drops, this makes your body go into such a pleasant relaxation that your anxiety levels decrease , it activates your parasympathetic system, that’s why you feel so comfortable and willing to sleep without any worries.

Oxytocin is capable of reducing anxiety and promotes feelings of connection and security, so the next time you fall asleep while watching a movie together, don’t let him get mad at you for it, explain that it’s because you feel safe. his side and so you relax to such a degree that sleep overcomes you.
