Sharing a bed with someone could temporarily reduce your brain power - at least if you are a man - Austrian scientists suggest.
When men spend the night with a bed mate their sleep is disturbed, whether they make love or not, and this impairs their mental ability the next day.
The lack of sleep also increases a man's stress hormone levels.
According to the New Scientist study, women who share a bed fare better because they sleep more deeply.

KRAMER: I, uh, need to speak to you about some lady problems.
Kramer sits in front of Elaine’s desk.
ELAINE: (unsure) Oh-kay.
KRAMER: (a little anxious) You know, after I have sex with Emily, uh, I
don’t want her in the bed any more.
ELAINE: Ah.
KRAMER: Yeah, because she’s throwing off my whole sleep. She’s got the jimmy
legs.
ELAINE: (confused) Jimmy legs?
Kramer raises one leg and judders it in the air, as illustration.
KRAMER: Jimmy leg.
ELAINE: (grasping the concept) Ohh.
KRAMER: So, uh, well, maybe I should just be honest with her, huh?
ELAINE: Tell her after sex, you just want her outta there?
KRAMER: Well, I’d say it nicely.
ELAINE: I don’t think so.

My husband should read this. I can't decide whether he'd snort in derision and then laugh, or if the laughter would come first.

I bet this professors wife is a real nasty person."Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence."
Cheers!

"for the record I cant sleep without my wife at my side."And also for the record, I didn't sleep in our bed for the first 2 years following my wife's death. We two had become one and our bed was the common connection.
