sleeping the gap

When a couple have reached a point in their relationship where they sleep on opposite sides of a bed with their backs to each other.

We were happy for the first few years of our marriage. For the past 6 years or so we've been sleeping the gap.

Sleep Camelling

A concept of sleep camelling is referred to stocking up on sleep hours in order to later go without sleep for longer periods. It is possible that by sleeping more or longer over a period of time, your body is recharged and recovered and is able to endure longer periods of physical endurance.

Sleep camelling is recommended before a weekend of festival fun.

Young parents are often advised to do some sleep camelling in advance of arrival of the baby

Sleep Herding

A pastoralist model of sleep, whereby we catch chunks of free-range sleep as it wanders by, rather than the agricultural model we are used to, farming huge 8-hour tracts of open nighttime.

I only got 2 hours of sleep last night, but that's ok; i'm practicing Sleep Herding. I'll grabs a few naps later today, then maybe 4 hours tomorrow.

Sleep

1.) A myth, a pure concept, an idea. Many of these words have been used to describe the elusive "sleep." In my opinion? It's a cryptid. Impossible to catch.

2.) A temporary coma.

3.) Light death.

"Did anyone catch any sleep last night?"
"Nah, it's impossible!"
"Oh my god, you guys are going to die of sleep deprivation."
A conversation between friends.

Scoop and Sleep

The act of using one’s own shirt or clothing in bed to clean, or “scoop,” the load following a session of presomnial masturbation so that he can fall asleep without having to ruin his comfortability by having to find another means of disposal.

When I’m in the mood for a quick tug before bed, I always do a scoop and sleep because I’m too lazy to look for tissues.
