  • First off, we're lesbians. Second off, she would never do that because SOME people are actually happy in their current relationship. Not to mention she doesn't have a car and still lives with her parents. If she was cheating, you best believe I would find out. I know 100% she's asleep. So quit being a dick.

    • If it's anything like my cousins who slept 12 hours or more a day: she's going to become obese and possibly diabetic. When you both start living together, perhaps you can help her sleep less?

      • She's 110lbs and 5'3. She definitely is NOT obese.

        • Nice! Let her sleep, because sleep deprivation MAY cause obesity and other health problems.

          Edit: may

          • Hold up! Fact check! Sleep deprivation is not what causes obesity, it not healthy, but it does not cause obesity! Obesity is caused by eating to much and not moving enough!

            • Look it up, it can cause weight gain. Depending on your weight during the period the lack of sleep started, it will add to it.

              • It can contribute to it, but it is not the driving factor like you seem to imply. Sleep deprivation increases stress hormones with can increase appetite via increasing what people call 'stress eating'. It also leaves you with more time in the day awake which can mean more calorie consumption depending on the individuals schedual. But the bottom line is, if I have an overweight client who comes to me and says "I don't want to be obese, what should I do?", I will look at diet and exercise as much higher priorities than sleep for causing such a problem.

      • How did that happen? I don't see any physiological reason why sleeping more than you need would cause one to become obese. Are you sure something else wasn't going on? Correlation does not equal causation.

    • Someone's triggered! Sorry for playing the odds and assuming your a straight couple, but how was I supposed to know. But 12 hours of sleep is still way more than you need, from what I've heard, 8 hours is the upper limit for health. She needs to talk to her doctor big time if this post is serious, she likely has some medical issues.
