Cosleeping is a term that Lissa has brought to my attention.
In the medical world, cosleeping is:
"the practice of having your infant in your bed with you during sleep. Cosleeping promotes breastfeeding and bonding, and it is safer than crib/cot sleeping when practiced correctly."
- cosleeping.org (not making it up. that's a real website)
But we have appropriated the word into our daily vocabulary. AND! We have a different definition!
COSLEEPING - The act of sleeping with one or more people in order to cuddle/spoon/hold one another. Periods of sleep alternate with periods of consciousness and semi-consciousness. Cosleeping is best performed naked, but is equally effective when participants are clothed. The act is not sexual in nature, but may have sexual undertones. Participants may experience feelings of closeness, euphoria, comfort, and/or safety.

so perfect!
lissa really started vocalizing a trend. i'd say she started it, but i think we all were doing it anyway, we just didn't talk about how darn good it is.
thanks for the medical advice lissa.
thanks for the scientific definition for "reproductive stage" humans.
