Once upon a time, “breakfast in bed” was the ultimate romantic gesture. Now? For a lot of people, it’s just a one-way ticket to sleeping in a pile of toast shrapnel.
A while back, a bizarre survey found 80% of people say crumbs in bed ruin their sleep. Which sounds fine… but raises a disturbing follow-up: are the other 20% totally fine rolling around in bacon bits and scrambled egg fossils?
Still, plenty of people risk it. 35% admit to eating in bed, usually late-night snacks like cookies, chips, and popcorn. (Basically the three foods most-scientifically-designed to generate maximum crumbs.)
But here’s the kicker: 33% say eating in bed is a dating deal-breaker. And among Millennials, that number jumps to 38%… even though Millennials are also the most likely to sneak snacks under the covers. Talk about sleeping with the enemy.
So yeah, breakfast in bed might sound sweet… or satisfy sudden snack cravings you’ll regret later. But if you don’t want your sheets to double as a sandpaper exfoliator, be REAL CAREFUL about your execution.
