One of the most intimate things in the world that we just don't talk about is the fact that if you're able to easily fall asleep with somebody, that means that you're extremely comfortable with them. I mean, think about the level of trust and vulnerability that you have to place within somebody to be able to just go to sleep right next to them. You're not only trusting them not to do anything themselves, whatever that could possibly mean, but you're trusting them to wake you up or protect you if something happens to happen while you're asleep. I mean, there's just. There's so much connection between that that I feel like nobody really talks about that much. If you're able to do that comfortably and easily, that person might be a keeper.
