“Social sleeping makes us feel more safe and sleep better. So, a stuffed animal may be sort of a good alternative to having someone else sleeping in your bed.”

"Nah babe, it's not weird. It's She's a prescription dakimakura. Trust the science."

Ok.....so rather than doing the sane thing of having one as a kid, putting it in a safe place for years to one day give to YOUR child, they want to never let go of theirs?

Really reflects their childish attitude of life, not accepting responsibility for their actions.

Adults can sleep with stuffed animals, too. -CNN

In my experience, women in the Millennial and Zoomer cohort are already doing this.

So of course everyone should be doing it. You heard them, guys. It's normal and good because women do it.

Really defensive comments on that article.

Relying on something like this is a weakness, plain and simple. These women aren't mature enough and haven't developed adequate coping mechanisms. Life is unfair and some of that you simply have to accept. Almost everyone here has had traumatic experiences but I highly doubt most of you stoop to behaving like literal children for your sleep. That should be a normal standard that people hold themselves to instead of embracing infantilization as normal. In fact, I'd expect that the very act of holding yourself to certain standards would do more for your mental health than clutching a teddy bear.
